Picked up today....
...other one is on the UPS truck. Ordering up full upgraded internals upon its arrival. Now, to get off my lazy duff and get started on all the 2017 car stuff that's already in the garage.
Nahhhhh, it can all wait for some sunshine.

Whew...it's either a bad sign or a very good sign that the UPS guy shows up at my door with a box half as tall as me and nearly twice as wide...
Soda can placed for scale.
...and I don't know what it is until I checked my computer to see what I was expecting (and then opening the box).
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh..... right. Muh other headlight.
Well, guess that means I can't put off my front end work now.
Oh yes I can... it's raining.
But yeah, have a number of things in the works for my 33 and some more project work for the other two cars. Parts all gathered. In boxes but for the two wheel projects already underway.
Unfortunately though, Z33 projects for 2017 have been re-prioritized down the list due to NEEDING work done on the German hotrod. Ah well.
I have an illness I think. It's called Can'tLeaveWellEnoughAloneitis.

Got first pair (1 not shown) of tires for Z34N wheels this morning - which are going on my son's car.
Then we come home from dinner with friends and found that FedEx came by again late, leaving a different front pair (half the set) for my AME's, currently with mis-sized (and 70% gone) fronts...
...of which I had to order a full new set, not wanting to mix brands... so I'll have a pair of 275/35-19 RE050As with 400 miles on them in the Marketplace soon.

Temporary warehouse.
The blue tarp is covering two more wheel/tire sets. Sadly, of all these, only two of the tahrs are for my 33 (two direct center). Others for various other projects going on.
I'm sick, I tell ya. Rubber fetish.

Just looking at the post a couple above and I say, "Wow, how'd that happen.... they're ALL gone!" Sold off all of my loose tires and wheels including everything under the tarps. Man, wish I had more Mercedes AMG wheels to sell.... had four buyers on the first day! One of them even offered me $100 more than I was asking but I sold them to the first guy... didn't think it would've been fair otherwise.
Anyhow, jumped the gun, so sure that I was going to pick up a Z32 Vert the other day...
...+2 underneath.
Then the guy bagged on me. Stuck with these. Ah, well, I'll find something to put these on or sell 'em...

My wife saw this in my office last night...
"That's a LOT of Hot Wheels!!" (since that's all I've been getting of late. )
But not this time..... "No, honey, for once, REAL car parts."
Last components for my four-pot brake conversion. (On my S30, not my 33)
Now that all of the hydraulics are finally in order, this should take car of the braking. (Unless I decide I really need the rear disc conversion. But I doubt it.... this car isn't for hill runs necessarily... or at least not to the level I push my 33 or SL).

Look at this beauty: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-510-19/ Granted, it's appears to be a 90 point car but in general, Dimes are whacko expensive. "Poor man's BMW 2002" indeed!
