Super progress!!

That was my thought too! 🤣🤣

That sounds cool!

I can't tell what I'm looking at in the first picture. The second picture looks like they could be "Bad Dog" rails

I drove manuals for decades with no neutral safety switch. I always check the car for neutral before starting with the clutch pedal down or not. You'll only try to start it in gear once, maybe twice... 😉 In other words, I wouldn't try to install one...

I'm ok with using old cooking oil for jet fuel or biodiesel. That seems to make sense but after we use it for food!

@Diseazd As an aside, what are the two water tanks at the back of the shop for? Looks like lots of filtration

I've always thought it sort of foolish to take your food source and turn it into fuel, but what do I know...🤪

The good news is, even at that consumption rate you're still ahead of if you had chosen a big mac! 🤣🤣

I wouldn't think reason #1 or #3 as likely culprits. I would suspect internal wear...

@SteveJ I like that red Z with the 280 hood. Nice looking paint!

Thats fun. I drove one of those one time. Fast and fun even for a sedan 😎

Are we gonna let the box hang out the hatch or fold you in half in a shorter box? 🤣🤣

I had to do this recently on a BMW Z4. I put the rear wheels on 4" solid masonry caps. Doesn't allow the suspension to squirm but atleast it is loaded and mostly settled

I liked the roof rack, a very cool item from that period.

Also, you will have better success with the hose clamps if you use an actual JIS screwdriver!

A fully charged 12v battery should be 12.7 - 12.8v If its 12.2, 3 or 4. The battery is low

Good sleuthing!!

Yup in the main panel, not the drains. I would get some fine stainless mesh and melt it into the backside with a heating iron. I plastic weld panels a lot for the vehicles I repair. I'm not a fan of super glue. Really doesn't work that well in this situation. A good epoxy might work but the nice thing about plastic welding is it allows to to work the repair some when it gets soft and dress it smooth when it cools. I would mesh across the hole and repunch the hole when it cools. Google some videos for plastic welding.

I'm not following. what exactly are you trying to reattach?

Looks good. You made a quick job of that

Yes, I had to fold the end closed on the gutter I bought too.

Most of the damage related to broken driveshafts and flywheels and such are from high horse power drag racing scenarios. It can be very dangerous is you low quality parts in that situation. The original factory u joints are very high quality. If it's wasn't broke, I wouldn't break it. You might try to grease them though, if possible

If the floors were replaced , they may have deleted the factory retractor pockets

After having just browsed their offerings. I think on my next big Datsun project, I could just order a bunch of metal from them. Maybe, I will finish the car in that Chromate green as a tribute to their products 😉
