Kalani hooked me up with E30 comfort seats since he was able to source some sport seats that look fucking awesome  :w00t: his car is going to be fucking sick!!

 

these are the ones he supplied me with, i owe him lots more sand blasting now   :rofl:

considering going back to mechanical fuel pump too, practically free parts that cleaned up well.  fuel line got sand blasted, primed and painted black, carb was just cleaned up by hand.  Spacer and gaskets in the mail along with speedo cable from Rock Auto...

^^ I know wheels right, I kind of hate these ones I have but not ready to drop the $$ on a new set. Going to get new tires and run these for a while until I find what I really want..

 

Just picked up a 240z rest view mirror too, should mount right up on the 510 right??

Snapped some shitty oics this morning with my crap iphone of last nights work.

 

removed passenger seat to test fit E30 seats, going to be a little more challenging then i originally thought

Filter pods took up a little more space then i would like, oh well they will work fine for long drives and fun runs.  I will use them for the long haul up to Canby.

SHIT i didnt take any oics from last weekend  :crying:

 

anyway nothing to interesting but i did manage to get a few important things done.

 

 

 

Replaced my passenger door seal with a brand new one.

 

 

Removed my passenger door trim and replaced the outer squeegee and then polished, waxed it and put back on the car.  Car should now stay fully dry when i wash it  :thumbup:  :thumbup:

 

 

Got a set of VTO center caps for my enkei 92's that fit perfect and where super cheap.

 

 

Put back all my door handles and window cranks since i finally ordered a set of retaining clips.

 

 

Also installed new nissan hood bumpers since i was missing one and the other 3 were painted and really hard.

 

 

Finally removed my wink mirror and wend back to the original stock 510 mirror for a cleaner look.

 

 

added a few coats of black paint to my tired looking pillar vents so i can put those back on next.

 

 

and i put a new metal Datsun emblem on my trunk, fit the wholes perfect and couldnt be happier with the quality  :w00t:  :w00t:  :w00t:

^ i know right!! next on my list is getting these rear shocks put on, getting alighnment done and hopefully having a new windshield put in next week  :thumbup:

 

after that maybe replace all the steering stuff and cut struts while everything is apart, all depends though i know Antony has tones of work on his plate so i might just wait until after canby... no rush
