Message	Picked it up from a lady selling off her late husbands cars scattered around their farm. Found a set of round top SUs from a 72, rebuilt them and made sure the engine would actually run while it was behind a friends shop. From there it went to a (tiny) garage I rented from another friend where I did all the metalwork on the pans, frame rails and rockers. Also did some electrical work, typical s30 stuff for the starter and headlights and added an electric pickup in the distributor. Toyota 4x4 calipers up front/280zx master cyl, kyb shocks and Motorsport blue springs. It's technically running, but it doesn't like to idle very well. I think I just need to do more carb tuning, valve adjustment and timing work but since it's still in VA I don't get to work on it more than twice a year right now. src="http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx263/InsomniacZ31/ttnetsigTR.jp g">
