RadioRedline Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Is that shop on a farm? Radio Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 It's just a house in a rural area with a little land. Glad to see some Datto work getting done JR. I think most people seem to have issues with any of those components in that area hitting side draft air cleaners. RHD gets it easy that way... Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Nice! Glad to see some money headed the goons way... I'm a little disappointed that you did a trade for a motorcycle though. Not because they aren't cool, but you and Hans don't need any more toys to distract you two from working. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 i low balled the trade value and him and his son had to have the truck....this is the first thing i sold where there was no haggling or himming and hawwing....i said i will give u amount this in trade value.. .he shyed away saying they had to go to dinner and would call me later to just cash me out at my price...he called and said the bike does him no good just sitting there like it has...so he took my low ball trade offer and paid full pop for the truck.....to be honest at the price i sold it it was a steal...i had tried to get what it was wroth ...fair market...even had a deal for it to go to sacramento...but in the end this guy called ///showed up next day and we dealed it out....have most all the motard parts .. just need the expensive wheels and tires...oh and a over sized stator...this wil be a spring project ... the goon will ride by then ....it has too... hans is switching to days instead of nights and it will be harder to do the early am stuff for him....

jrock4224 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 yeah needed the space for han's 521 to recieve some work.... so we dollied up the goon.....we put all the dash inner structure and venting into the goon .....had to drill out a bunch of the broken bolts and tap them all.... was a total pain in the ass....drilled out as many other various broken 10mm off too till we ran out of appropriate drill bits for the job...wtf datsun ..broken bolts are a staple in a datsun rebuild...tore out all the e brake brackety ... modeled up some front brackets to make for the suspension...got the steel all sheered up this morning at work.... gonna punch the holes and start welding .... layed some of the harness in this car....enough to realize we need to finish a few other things before we get this thing all running and shit....still gotta bang out some paint work on this car too......need to paint the spoiler black..... and the rear window frames and the gas door that i purposely didn't paint then ran the shit out of it .......he kept hollaring at me to not forget the gas door while i was painting ...so i went over there and just hosed it down till paint was running off it ....having to sand it off was worth it from the look on his face while i was dong it...( i already knew i had more parts to paint anyway, so i had a little fun...at both of our expenses..besides there was still a dent in the edge that needed to be fixed but i was told not to worry abou tit and just paint it....not really my syle to paint dents..) maybe u guys remember it .... we have been trying to catch the goon up to this level the 2dr is at so we can finish them at the same time... but i have been unsuccessful in staying on task on my end...spent last weekend tearing a crf 450r down so we can motard another one.... ----really trying to concentrate now on getting a roller by thanksgiving .. that way i can button up the floor and get the seat brackets the rest of the way in and bed line both sides of the floor....being toying with the idea of just going ahead with the icehouse/philcas exhaust tunnel.....i already got to raise the tunnel weld on the floor for the rest of the seat bracketery...i just hate cutting up the floor when there's no rust...got the heater box with me at work gonna tear down and powder coat it all ..... damn it i wish there was a replacement one available... may just have to figure out a pressure test and try and make sure its a non leaker before going back in.... plan n rebuilding the valve as per the 620 heater valve threads.... my outter dash the plastic part needs some real work ... i see i need a glove box door and the refurb on the gauge cluster is dire.....oh well i don't really need that shit yet ..... but i will tinker with those parts as i can at work... i need a axle and a drive line in the car so the floor can be finished. there was more work done to the goon then the pics showed but i kinda figured i would explain that as i go....once i finish blastin the doors i will take those to he shop at my house to paint them and get them ready to reassemble and get on the car...the front fenders and hood will be a chore too, deciding on what to do ...i think i will just rock the patina there kinda rough from being off the car and man handled all there lifes between us and when po had the car....thought about a rusty hood cause its real wierd but now that honderps do that ... its off the table... fuck i just realized i need a windshield .....grr one more thing....plan to post more updates now that its winter and it rains to much to fly ....lol Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 This is how I feel. It's hard deciding which project to work on when you have your free moments. Decisions, decisions.... But at least there's forward movement on the goon :w00t: its even harder when u got all this different shit too not just say fuck it and watch the nascar race when u could be out there putting a mazda back together and making it a safe driver again..i never should have started the crf 450 project right now.... but it went from a full bike on a stand ...to a motor on the counter in about a 1.5hours...the rest of the unneeded dirt bike parts ended up on ebay...i got the frame and everything here at work for powder..the parts i am selling almost cover the wheel and tire package....so i'm off to give blood and the navy to recoup whats left... .my gm tech buddy owed me for some powdercoating on his blazer and 68 camaro so he offered to buy the parts and do the work for free on the tahoe... so at least i aint gotta worry about that one .... it lost the power steering two and a half weeks ago and i been driving it sparingly .....but its kinda a nice arm work out....(no its not...)

DatWifey Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Haha, I hear ya. I just spent all weekend sanding and painting two fenders, headlight rings and a cowling...... all while still doing my wifey duties :angel: Too many toys though, it's hard to choose which one REALLY needs the work vs what's more fun to do. We've all been there..... to at least some extent. Quote Link to comment
