Dat Lurka

oooh goodie. I think I'll buy one and try it out on my GX

Not enough love in here. These cars look fantastic in white

Today was the day I pulled the carb to investigate some leaks I was damn sure I would find. No pics, sorry :yawn: Was a breeze (besides that rear passenger corner base nut, It shall have it's own meme, and I shall invest in a stubby wrench) Got all set up on the porch and dug around till I found that NOS carb kit. . I broke open the carb and found shredded soggy gaskets, leaking pumps, etc. It looked as if a very small crazy person smeared greasy feces all over the place. Turns out the kit had been opened and was possibly for a different carb or contained parts for multiples models at some point. I used what I could till I realized the choke body gasket was not going to work. It was leaking between the float bowl and numero uno. So hell I decided to try again. My small town parts store happened to have a rebuild kit in stock. 25 freakin dollars. Tore it down and put it all back together again. Ended up using some parts from my spare carb. \ Practice makes perfect! Like the time I put my L20b together with the cam 180º out :rofl: trying to figure out why I had no fuel till I realized I was sucking through the exhaust and blowing out the carb. But hey, it only took an hour and a half to tear it back down and put it back together correctly and drive it home! I have a pretty good understanding of this teeny hitachi son of a bitch now. Anyways, it's running like a top. Starts up and idles so smooth and quiet I can't even tell it's running! Still needs a tune up. Pulled and capped some vacuum devices till I can get some hose and another day of datto driven patience. It get's a little weird under power. Might have broken some dirt loose but didn't get it out of there. Note: Averaging 27 mpg city and that's not putting around. B) Fresh tank with the ignition and carb work and hoping for 30+ (but the gravel is oh so fun)

Last week, got some parts in from rockauto. Ignition components, shock absorbers, and wiper blades. Got a nice hot spark and a lot less skip. Ride is pretty stiff now and have gained a lot of control. No more bouncy house and bottoming out. First time changing shocks before. Don't know how I've managed to miss out in the past. Was a piece of cake! Crawled under the front to take a look at the transmission etc. still trying to source the noise. This fucker: took a WHILE! Accumulated a pile of tools in the process. But of course, when I finally get it out, it's full of good clean dope :) Fun times.. Hmm something isn't right here... Exhaust leak located :fu: I'm gonna scrap the cat and go buy some pipe and a glasspack. Went for a test cruise and saw this beauty downtown. PRISTINE I dare say. The last of a great era. Most definitely under 100k miles.

Not often do I get to see a datto that's not mine. This one is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! The last of the Dattos

There is photographic evidence if requested..... Also this

Me and my dick.

I just had sex, twice.

It's a 1971 B110 that has been chopped into a truck.

A short ride on one of my favorite roads coming back from a delivery in the rain. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=539437049518284&l=4143060939059198434

Got the goods! Folder full of receipts etc. The PPO bought the car in '93 and in October '94 it was restored. Huge list of goodies. Nissan reman A14 was swapped in at 234k so in total it's at ~340k miles. Oil changes 3-5k miles. The list is pretty long. I'll probably scan it in tomorrow. Hoping to get it back up to par by Oct '14.

Painted the grill Got this idea from my little brother. Index cards! Panted hub caps My best friend. She loves working on the cars with me. Before and after

Blue is nice. Saving up for this one http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/4550952438.html Would be good to store for parts or fix up for my lady (auto transmission) What part of VA are you in?

Got tired of riding around with crappy paint. The fenders were replacements and the red was peeling off. I had to do something to cover up the rust spots. This is the color I want Also, I used rustoleum double coat and it was the best ever. Took two cans to do the car.

Started working on the paint again and gave up when I realized it wasn't worth the time. So 20$ and 2 hours later-

They sat at those prices for years. Day late dollar short. Check Parts train, JC Whitney
