Finally got around to looking through some random stuff that the previous owner gave me. I found some pretty cool stuff.

The original window sticker

This is who the previous owner bought the car from.

And some random brochures

Plus all of the service records.

Anyways I thought it was cool that he kept all of this.

You can soak the differential air breather in a clear glass of peroxide on a sunny day to whiten it.

I was cleaning mine and it broke:(. Then I found out you can order them from Nissan for less than €1.50.:)

Also helps if you fit the breather before you mount the diff under the car. They can be a tight fit and not much roomto move.

I reached a milestone today. The car is officially a rolling chassis!

Rear drum brakes installed with all new parts.

Back on the ground! Not sure why its sitting so high in the rear. Hopefully it will settle down once the motor is in.

Yea I rolled it about a car length back and forth. Also the control arm bushings and spindle nuts are still loose. The only thing I can think of is that I tightened the sway bar while it was still up on jacks. Not sure if that would matter? ?

i believe the sway bar should rotate freely in its bushings, so it wouldn't present any resistance to the car settling.

are you sure the springs are set correctly in the perches? also, are you sure you have the correct springs (front in front, rear in rear)?
