Tiny update for you guys. I should be going down to get Matt's spare chassis next weekend, which means work should be resuming very shortly on this project. I'm starting work the following Wednesday at a Nissan dealership, so I'll not have as much time to work on it. However, I desperately need a car to get to and from work, so getting the damn thing on the road will be way up there on my priority list. I've got every part I need to do it (minus the engine block, which the machine shop STILL has), so the only thing it'll take is some time. And tires. I think there are 20 year old Michelins on there right now.
On that note, anyone have decent tire recommendations for the factory size? I was looking at Toyo R888's (I think they're called, memory is a bit fuzzy). They're street slicks though, which was perfect for when the plan for this car was track duty. Now that she'll be my daily for a little while, that's obviously not going to work. I'm in New York, so I need all seasons. Or at least something with some tread, and then a set of snow tires. There's basically no options in a 14" wheel.
Oh also, I plan on getting started on the transmission later today. I may finally have some progress photos for you all soon. I just plan to grease up what needs greasing, inspect it, clean it, and paint it. It needs done before it goes back in. The thing is NASTY.
