Minty Fresh 510


Tristin

Recommended Posts

Only having one car to drive is a real pain. i feel your frustration.  That was holding me back on a lot of work for the B210...

 

Got my truck back and running in less than 24 hours. Time to swap insurance to the truck and swap motors, brakes etc on the B.

 

Eventually Ill pick up a second vehicle. I have the cash now, but the right one just hasnt fallen in my lap yet. Once that happens larger projects can happen and I wont run into this issue anymore. 

 

I knew something like this couple happen, but just didnt think it would be like three weeks. Oh well, live and learn. Just means I need another Datsun in my life no matter what the girlfriend says.

If Im going to buy a 521, I have my eye on a certain one. Just playing the waiting game... Id like for it to stay with the current owner, but life happens. So if that goes that way, I want to be able to give it a good home. Decent condition, good price, color I want, and helping out a friend. B)

 

 

 

Until then Ill just keep plugging along and hope I can get the Dime going. Friday is the day Im told so we shall see. I think with all the people in the garage, one of us can get it going haha.

Best luck on the L20B swap Tristin (and friends).

 

Watch out for the exhaust studs .. I use a little anti-seize ... on all parts of the exhaust almost lol ...

I personally like to chase the threads (if there is time that is.. we all know how that goes).

 

Front and rear (cylinders #1 and #6) exhaust studs "tend" to snap on the L24 , L26 , L28e , L28ET ... all the time .. :lol:  ( steady hand ,,, right hand drill bits ,,, and left hand drill bits will extract it ... light pressure ... ever so light if you run into that problem ).

Dump some "Iso-heet" in your gas tank since it's been sitting 3-weeks :thumbup: burn out the moisture.

 

Having your flex-plate stolen really boggled my mind ... still does ... of all the parts to get boosted :confused:

 

521's are good lookers man.

 

Head up !

It was left outside and was made of metal... so we think someone tried to scrap it.

Hmmmm... Beer and getting work done... Sounds counter productive. :frantics:   BUT, maybe you should make a rule that he can't have a drink until he finishes X-amount of work. Then he has to finish another X-amount of work before he can have another drink.... yeah?
