I got more cleaning done last night. I think I got pretty much everything above the cylinder head. To my surprise, the rocker cover was barely on. I went to clean around one of the bolts and it turned.
I was up late last night with a toothbrush and some q-tips. I found a shiny, pretty engine hiding under all that gunk!
More gutting done this weekend. Found some troubling rust…
I installed the steering wheel I had in my 240sx. I also installed an ngr quick release hub adapter. Should be easier to get the dash back in.
The engine is a little cleaner now.
The gutting continues. Seems like the drivers side has the most rust. There seems to only be two holes through though so it’s not too bad.
I removed the body kit, but left the front bumper. I think it looks a lot better now.
From my research I believe the engine is from a 260z.
The Beast Lives! Just got my Datsun back after about 6 years. I gave it an oil change, fresh gas and it started up real nice!
