We also failed to get pics of the matching paint job on the fiberglass top or the kit for the transmission install, but here are some shots of the finished cross-members, the engine (almost) in place and the car on the trailer.
The front suspension was changed out to accommodate front disc brakes from a later Sprite and hubs that had been re-drilled to the 4x4.5 Datsun lug pattern. Years ago I had scrounged up a set of 14" two-piece Empi wheels; you can see them on the front of the car. I had also acquired a rear axle from a 210. It has a 3.9 diff. There are future plans to get it cut down about 4 inches on each side so it will fit the Bugeye. There's a lot yet to be done, but the car is going to someone who can easily do the necessary work. I can no longer do that kind of work, so this is a good thing.
Next up? Getting the recently-acquired brake booster from a B210 fitted to my MG Magnette sedan and getting the rebuilt Datsun 5-speed installed in my Morris Minor sedan.
