Ran last early 90s Laguna Seca , Driver T. Nakamura ,I want it bad ,I have three L18 race motors here waiting , its getting an L18 import engine EFI head(has three intake mount holes at top of ports) import motor with a weber carb , maybe I should try and offer wagon for a trade ? keep it as is ready ! .I wish also they would have left the front alone .Someday when I win the lotto I will have a race car .

RACECAR TO STREETCAR -Cut tunnel bigger for long trans , roll bar is integrated in drivers seat looks hard to modify , and passenger side roll bar will be difficult to remove for a seat ,has fire system and fuel regulator in car there .

Engine bay got a quick white out looks much better , use foil where needed to mask quick !100_3013.jpg100_3014.jpg]100_3015.jpg]100_3012.jpgL]100_3010.jpg]100_3016.jpg[

Orange 620 is a customers truck , a fireman , anyway he had to have the Wilwoods same as his RB25Z in the pics.

I thought most of install of 521 four wheel disc is listed on last page , really worst part which not listed is duck tapping up bearings on removed axles to cut off backing plates .

I did this so my shop 521 gets an easy park brake system with Nissan calipers .

The guy has a Datsun 620 fibre glass bed somewhere , I was looking for ,honest , he recently moved all those cars , like fifteen cars from one old shop to new shop and left dirty , I love checking out old shit (like most of us car breed does not mater )and was maybe going for another sedan delivry , why ? 1954 would be kind of cool ,not worth as much as 56 but later may be ? Also why ask why ,wish I had money like him for a Boneville car !

Had this super cool midget drive by ,was a race car has a very low windshield ,

also some artsi tail lights

My sons ka24de is finally getting going with a new bend and as long of a pipe as I can fit , for air flow meter to keep on right side of motor instead of on wrong side with log stupid tube , and swapped battery to a left side and a smaller battery (wagons should keep battery under hood not in people area ) Also cutting a long header to fit , not that bad will bend a tube to clear steer box and re-weld , bought two headers ,doing both ,one for a customer that we may do a kade install for later .100_3126.jpg]100_3127.jpg]100_3124.jpg]100_3122.jpg100_3121.jpg100_3123.jpg100_3129.jpg100_3130.jpg]
