Today we picked up this..



Not bad for 100 dollars, more like $95 considering all the change we found.
Now it does run (if they wouldn't have took the battery out) but the previous owner said it makes a horrible noise in gear and a "mechanic" suggested the TOB. Would that be the ISB if it made noise in gear? Anywho, we'll get back to that later.

First thing we do is give it a quick wash and put it in the shop.


The interior was, well..horrible. I have never seen a car so neglected before. Pictures don't do justice.



I go up to pull the rigged pink wire that was for the battery relocation that they did. It was bolted to a dry rotted plank in the trunk, which wasn't fastened down to anything.


but it is a B18A1 with around 80,000 miles. Compression test and leakdown soon to come.



We start stripping her down. It's okay, that's what she wanted.


Found a better reason for a siberian air intake.


This how you start it.


Cleaned up the dash which is actually in really nice condition.



That is about where I am at now. I forgot to take pictures of the interior once we scrubbed and cleaned everything all OCD like but I will get pics. Front bumper and fenders are off and cleaning the mud from the previous owner. I'm doing the whole process with rims to get them back to chrome-ish.

The whole thing is that we wanted to part it and sell it but we are slowly getting attached to it. If buyers come for the dash, tail lights, engine, engine parts or any other miscellaneous parts then you could help me get back on track to getting my Datsun lol. Or we'll just scrap it! Many questions right now.

I'll try and keep this updated for anyone who MIGHT be interested. Thanks for reading!

 

****, mega pics. Someone is gonna have to teach me how to shrink these things.

 

Pics aren't too big unless you have a teensy 800x600 display or something lol

 

lol that's good then. I always see some people complain about pics like this.

 

Poor da glad to see someone is taking care of her

 

I'm trying to fix her up nicely. Didn't get much done because of work but I'm on the wheels now, which will probably take two or three days to finish.

Before:


After:


I think they look a little bit better. The other three will look better now that I know the process. I think I hit it with too much grit the first time. That's it for now but I called some friends over to discuss matters with the engine mess.

 

i think im just seeing things but thats the same guy in that pic?

 

lol yes, that is all me.

 

Pressure washed the car so now you can grab things and not get a ton of mud on your hands.

I also put a battery in and cranked it over but nothing but smoke just came out. I'm not wasting my time on it, I think i'll just wait to pick up a new engine harness.

 

I like where this is going.
Subscribed.

 

Thanks! As if today not much went into (or out of) the integra because I helped a friend install some KW coilovers on his BMW 3-series.



Other than that all I got was this. This harness wasn't too bad though.



I need to start looking around for a new harness. Let me know if you or anyone can point me in the right direction to find one!

 

If you have beef you can catch me in the bay area.




Getting there.

 

nice progress so far

 

man I like where this is going....in for this

 

Thanks for being in! Got off of work and went straight to the car. Not soon after, I broke 2 ratchets trying to remove the spindle nut. Yes, I removed the locking tab. Maybe just need some heat. I guess I'll acquire some more tools tomorrow and try again. Other than that it's beggin' to be dropped!

 

glad to see its in good hands now. GL brotha

 

Thanks man. Driveshafts are out and will hopefully be dropping the engine and tranny this week. I also picked up this little thing for free, but is far from useable anytime soon..but FREE, might not even be used anyway.

 

Oh and it's been bothering me. I need a title change, it needs to say "Aye" instead of "Ate". lol This ain't no Aston Martin.

 

OCD GUY.. nice progress mayn

 

Aww man, tough times. Mostly because of Christmas I didn't get to touch this thing all of December. Now things are going a little different for me. I have plans of going up to California February or March and kicking it up there. Therefore money is tight and I can't touch this thing :/ So on that note, this thing will most likely be scrapped since I can't leave it in the shop. I guess for any reason if there is something in here you would like give me a shoutout.

 

id really like that exhaust lol

 

Lmao, pick out the ONE thing I probably can't get rid of.

 

looking good man..once its running should bring her out to the meets
