Probably, I am new to this forum stuff and thought I was in the right place for builds, if not move it, kill it , or let it die.

I actually started the refurbishing build months ago and just decided to start a thread. I will get some more photos loaded of the progress. Troy set up the car before the prior owner purchased 9 years ago. I am not looking for credit for Troy's work :thumbup:.

Yes, it is done. Glad to see someone is monitoring. As for the work Troy did, I only have the prior owner Shawn's word. Shawn bought as a Father/Son project from Troy. Troy put in a rebuilt L-16. Shawn did not want his son to have lots of power so it was rebuilt stock with the Weber DGV carb. Z-5-speed. Camber plates, sway bars front and rear, battery re-located to trunk, roll bar and harnesses. P205/15 tires Shawn lives in Carson, NV and trailered the car home. When I bought it he trailered it to me, which was a good thing because the alternator had failed. The car was virtually never used and just sat at Shawn's for most of 7 years. The temp would spike, so I changed out the thermostat and then the radiator before determining it was the missing bypass hose causing the problem LOL. Added a bypass hose and no more problems.

I finally got started on the body restoration. Cut out the rust and began repairing panels. This car was built by Toy Ermish 9-10 years ago for another Father / Son project that never happened. The car sat for 7 years before I acquired it. L16, Z 5-speed, wildwood disc brakes, Z drums on the rear. Mechanically good, the body was sound and just needed cleaning up. The plan: Windows out, Bright Red Paint with Ghost Flames on doors. . . . new body seals from Datsunland Socal
