Im working on it as we speak, it wont crank over. Sounds like the starter is too weak to turn over the engine.

Went with Type X Front Bumper, Origin Position Lights
Image
I also picked up this 95 hardbody, Lowered it, and put some wheels on it. Nice Daily Driver.
Image
My kouki bumper was sitting right on the passenger side, because the fender was f***. So I got another one, and the dude I bought it from didn't tell me about the big a** dent. :tisk: I threw it on anyways. I also picked up some B-Sport Skirts.
Image
Here it is chillin in the shop after a couple months. Rat 240 :gapteeth:
Image
Picked up a D1 hood.
Image
Another month, and my brother shows me this pic. The color is toyota metallic gold.
Image
The moment you see your car another color, you fall back in love. I couldn't stop saying Holy s***!
The day I got her back.
Image
And now for the good pics
Getting her all washed up for some pics, mainly the engine bay. Boy was it dusty.
Image
Picked up some LEDS from Superbrightleds.com Awesome website!

Ha, that would've been awesome, but I sold the Ka long before I got the datsun, and the datsun is gone too :(. I love the Isis exhaust, but got tired of DD it, so I welded an Apexi Muffler on it, and now it sounds like seks.

Why?

That was a sweet looking little car. ESPECIALLY for the price you paid.

The datsun got a weird Idle problem. Took the Carb apart cleaned it up, put it back together, and it still ran like crap. So I sold it. Will post pics of the exhaust when I get home.
