cruznude Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Small update but a spendy one. $3500 into parts/labor and machine work. Just think after all this time and money, still need more. Is it really worth it? 2 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Is it really worth it? To me, yes, to others, probably not. But thats how it works with ones projects. 3 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 You can do some of the assembly yourself. No hobby is free, don't worry about it. I'm just glad you are able to afford it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Took almost 1 1/2 years to get the engine done to this point. Lots of scraping metal and side jobs for money. Lack of money is the only reason this project is taking this long. My priorities are my children over the datsun. BUT one day, it'll be complete 7 Quote Link to comment
