I'll let you know if I have to make a trip down there, thank you. I might have a line on an L20 short block locally.

Haha no... I want to be the only one with a dope cover. Every valve cover I've powder coated in like 7yrs. has been wrinkle black.

I'm going to be watching this... I should be following along this path here soon (hopefully anyway).

These are sweet... Too bad I don't have a truck. GLWS.

Switch to Flickr... I've never had an issue with that site.

Yes you will need the rubber insulators. That's what takes all the vibrations from your engine... You can use any bushings that fit, though that would take a bit of trial and error. Your better off getting OE pieces.

I love that color; I'm a sucker for green.

Oh wow, super clean. Welcome to Ratsun.

Because drift missile.

Haha well not only is it something that really isn't that's seen, but we don't want to be 'that guy' because we can't deliver (or at least give it our best shot) what we say we're going to do. So anyway, until then it's under wraps so we can plan

Haha deal.

Bump. I also have a set of bullseye hubcaps I can include for a little extra. They have been sandblasted and are ready to be repainted. Those would give you a little more OG status.

Yeah that L20 should have been kept... Silky better appreciate it. I was thinking no motor oics until its finished, but I could be swayed to post one. Q-tip and I have been in discussion for something fun... We have a plan. But that's going to remain a secret for awhile until there's something more concrete.

I'm obviously not Vintage, but I bet it would look far better if it were a lot lower.

Ok, I feel like this is an empty update so I apologize for that, but wanted you to know I'm still alive and kicking. Money is short lately so I've been focusing on cheap upgrades which means mostly engine bay cleanup and organization. Lots of parts are getting powder coated, cleaned, moved, and hidden. On a shittier note (shittier than no money?), my L16 seems to be on its last leg. I'm hoping to find a new L-series transplant for the car... I'm pretty sure I've got a good head so even a good L20 block would be nice. Anyway, those are the two things going on right now. And so you get something for the visit to the thread, heres a shitty picture of the car while I'm at work:

So gorgeous. I love classic J-tin 4drs so much... Yeah, not sure why but the guy stopped updating for about 2mo maybe. Then he deleted the whole blog.

Glad to hear things are going great! I'd love to be able to quit daily grunt work for running my own business.

Pictures would help. Also forum rules require you to post a price.

Yep, this is the easiest way. If you use flat rate boxes then you just pick up a stack of boxes at the PO (I think there's even an option where they will send you some) or if you use your own boxes for Priority mailing then just buy a mail scale. Weight it, print off a label, and drop it off either at the PO counter or sometimes they will have a package drop box.

Sounds like you're doing it right, it's just sucking for you.

Yeah the car is at the point where I don't know if I want to take the car that far. It just needs a little better engine to be a little more reliable.

<_< Thanks Jon... But honestly, I do enjoy the idea of column shift autos though haha. That wagon is just so nice.

My engine has been a little iffy lately, but I'm trying to build something better in time for Rainer.

Well that's no fun... What troubles did you run into?

What's funny is that I listen to a lot of J and K-pop and found that video a few weeks before it was super famous here. I posted it in Insomniacs and then the Internet went crazy with it. Not to be all Hipster about it, but just thought it was a hilarious video. If you're into the poppy fun dance music like that, there's a shit ton of J/K out there that's good. Anyway... Sweet vid.
