I thought I'd finally post a pic of my lovely beast as well as some of the parts I bought today as a lot.

Heres the beast;

I know this is a valve stem seal but I've never seen one with a metal base, their obviously brand new. Anybody know anything about this style?

The guy I bought this stuff from said he bought all of it from Datsun comp in the 80's

These came with the car, their 12's but I just bought a set of 4 exactly like this in 13's as well, they should polish up nicely, anyone ever seen one's like these before?



heres one of the rocker & rear lower quarter being repaired



here's one after the patches have been welded in



heres its future motor, a little clean up & it should be grand!





So, there she is in all her glory. I've sworn this will not become one of those projects thats still not on the road 5 years from now. I plan on having it painted by summer & on the road by hopefully September. It's a lot of work but should be worth it.

does anybody recognize any of the headers or the valve springs, I was told the springs were Datsun comp 1200 GX, I'm assuming thats correct.

Even after todays purchase I figure I'm into this thing only about $3200 for everything so far & I've gotten almost all the new & replacement stuff I need. I figure thats not too bad.

thanks all.
