The Blue L20b engine was getting tired......and the transmission had always sounded like it was going to croak... .... so I sold the motor and transmission:

After debating a more modern motor swap .. .. . .. .. . I found this on craigslist:


A 1974 Datsun L18 ....... 1800cc SOHC ........ with a isky racing cam....... and dual 44mm Mikuni Carburators..... it even came with a 280zx 5 speed transmission and shortened driveshaft:

2 weeks after the Maaco paint-job,,,, my car got hit in a parking lot,,,,,, ,, luckily the guy left a note ....


He was in a Suburban,,,, with bycicles on the tailgate ........ and the bike rack hit the driver's side fender,,,


He broke off the glassed on fender flare ...... ... and I tried to re-attach the flare:
