Ah, darn. Well, thanks anyways!

Hey, man, thanks! I'm glad I'm not dead, either. I've been looking on Craigslist and offer up, as well as cruised the classifieds here without much luck. Haven't been accepted back into the FB Ratsun, yet. Plans for it would be to be reliable and manual, and save up for a little ka24e ITB build because I like to tinker. Edit: saw the one in montesano. There's a better (in my opinion) 77 around here for 1125obo that was ppsted a week ago with new brakes. I plan on changing to disc brakes at all 4 corners, but its ,ice to know. Has all of its mirrors, too! Insurance had actually decided to buy and replace the engine. Is it a 3.2 v6? If the one they ordered is the wrong one I may shoot them a heads up with your permission. Soubds way better than what they found. As far as I know they are skaiting the total line by around $200. I have no problem swapping engines in older cars, but I hate all of the electronics on newer engines. Never thought it woupd be this way, but thats something I would easily pay to do. Lmao.

Lets give this a shot. Heyyyy, now we're in business! This is from the dealer pictures. The one above shows that no matter how hated, plastidip goes a long way. Here i've done the lug stud conversion and some other small bits. Nice and low. First paid show with her. No comment needed. Satsop, WA Getting towed after hydrolock the other day.

Alright, getting it sorted. Seems there is a 50 image limit per hour. On imgur, I have the same username. MurphyEF. Will post a couple here when I get them all loaded.

Dude, imgur is a PITA.

Uploading to imgur as I type. Previously used photobucket and that seems to be a crap shoot on every forum, now. So I *gasp* read a sticky!

Well, Ratsun, I have strayed from you for far too long. After my youngest daughter was born, I got rid of my 79' 280zx, but was still getting messages on how to do what I did to her for over 2 years after leaving the community. After my ZX, I got an 03' Xterra and made sure to add a Datsun badge to it. As per my previous cars, I still jave people asking me to explain how I did something to it though I haven't owned it for 2 years. Que my latest car (RIP), a 2006 Audi A4 Avant. Acxording to Audi, o1 of 18 made. Unfortunately water cannot be compressed and the engine has decided it doesn't want to run anymore. Insurance is totalling it out as we speak. Now, as to why I'm back: I jokingly told the wife I was going to buy a 620 as my commuter (job upgrade, a bit of a commute). She then said if I could find one for under 1k, I could get it. Now I'm on the hunt. Currently located in Spanaway (Tacoma), wa Help me keep eyes peeled? Found one with no brake lights (must be towed) for $700 that was posted a month ago and they haven't responded.

Yeah, just run it from behind the office buildings at speed and it'll reach up in there.

If you ever need to rinse the undercarriage on that thing, the back side of the Mile Hill McDonald's gets a decent lake going in heavy rain.

Orange 510 just now on Martin Way in Lacey. Had no side mirrors. Passenger was smoking. Gave a wave and they waved back.

Initial thought was a cypher lock of some sort, but when I saw that it didn't require a combo to open, I became more inclined to agree with naner.

Spotted a yellow and primer 210 in the Port Orchard Walmart parking lot. Also spotted a baby blue truck (my datsun weak point) driving up Mile Hill, also in PO. Both today.

Saw a gold 510 today on my way back from the parts store. They had a passenger and atleast one kid in the back. They gave a wave as they passed and had obviously made an effort to say hi. They were followed by an older van that was spraypainted black and couldn't take the hint to merge. All on Martin way in Lacey between best buy and nisqually auto wrecking.

Zdriver has a writeup in their tech section.

Gah! Finally one closer to home and I have to work...
