datsunfreak Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Does anyone ever "roll up a window" anymore? No. :rofl: :rofl: I believe only a couple of cars can even be bought with manual windows, and those are the cheapest of the cheap. But I am intrigued by this project. I have a '78 620 roller taking up space, so... :devil: 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Exactly. Or "what do you mean you only had 12 airbags?!?" :rofl: Or "Grandpa, tell us about when your car had pedals you had to push..." My first car, a '64 Dodge, had a single brake master, no seat belts and a steel dash without padding. It wasn't uncommon to hear an accident was caused by 'brake failure'. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Ummmm, motorcycles? Why are we giving a guy crap about how his car is dangerous, when half of us ride? Death trap? Maybe. Worth it? Indubitably :) 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 At least that will make installing a shifter easier... ^_^ Seat is coming up a bit, or trans is going down? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 That's a Z22 head on that Z24. Z22 intakes are round with EFI injector notches so they would fit the Z22E engines in the S110 200sx, Z24 are square with rounded corners and no notches. Also the fuel pump boss does not need a cover on the Z24 head. Other than that they are the same inside. 1 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you're careful enough, nothing good, or bad will ever happen to you. If you're going through life just being safe, you might as well end it now. That way you'll never get hurt. If you're not willing to put your life at risk, do you have a life worth living? And so, BE careful, BE safe, BE good, but never BEhave. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dyeing light. Loose translation, drive it like you stole it son. I look forward to watching this come together man. Thanks for posting up. BTW did you fab that tail and nose? STORY PLEASE. 3 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Glad that trans is moving down. See a pretty girl at the wrong time and you might find you accidentally shifted gears with both hands on the wheel :) 1 Quote Link to comment

Believe.me.if.I.could.order.half.the.So-Cal.catalog.I.would.and. build.it.with.period.looking.new.parts,but.such.is.life. Okay, You don't need to toot your own horn, we'll do that for you. Trust me, plenty of guys out there with the talent to build a car, but never do it because they've convinced themselves they can't, because they don't have the scratch. Anyone can order a specific part, but it takes creativity balls to, as you say "using.whatever.junk.I.can.get.a.hold.of.in.order.make.it.work!". That's the gift of resourcefulness I was talking about. I consider myself lucky you can't afford to buy your way through this build, but you're still doing it. Like it or not Dude, I see what you're doing, and I'm impressed. Piece of advice, in the rat rod community the mantra is, give yourself permission to fuck up, and when you do, learn from it and move on, because perfection is for bed wetters. 5 Quote Link to comment
