The List!

All rightie then. So last Sunday I went to Ramona and picked at the vast sickening amount of information that is inside Justin's head. Upon initial pickup we noticed that the car had a tremendous gas leak. Suck-city, so I ended up getting a freshly pressure tested gas tank that had been re-sealed and was in great condition for $150 bucks up in LA off of hybridZ. One step closer to being done :)

I also needed some tires that were in good shape and picked up a set from a local guy here in SD..actually that was a wheel and tire package. The wheels I'm not too crazy about, but can't say no to 200 bucks for a set of Kumho Ecsta AST's with 75% tread left. The extra wheels were a bonus. I found out that the wheels that are on the car right now do actually fit..it just so happens the wheels on them are too wide in the back, so once the car is actually done, I might throw on some slicks on them.

Here is a list of new/good used parts that Justin recommended I get. Seeing he is who he is, I didn't want to argue with him. It's a long list, but being a Datsun, it's not going to be that expensive to get back on the road. A lo
