hey guys, just thought i’d share some pics of my new summer driver. drove out to Moody Texas, near Waco, a couple of weeks ago to pick it up from my uncle. details: '77 datsun 280z L28 with old school Bae turbo kit 5 spd manual he gave it to me because it has a leaky head gasket, oddly enough it’s just air escaping and no mixing of fluids. so i’ve got a rebuilt cylinder head, new gaskets, and ARP head studs to remedy the situation. hopefully i’ll have it on the road by next weekend. pics… ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0001-1.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0001-1.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0001.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0001.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0002-1.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0002-1.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0002.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0002.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0004-1.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0004-1.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0005-1.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0005-1.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0005.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0005.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0005_2.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0005_2.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0006.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0006.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0007.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0007.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0007_2.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0007_2.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0012-1.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0012-1.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0012.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0012.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0014.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0014.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0016.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0016.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0017.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0017.jpg) ![http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0018.jpg](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/appleseed114059/280Z/DSC_0018.jpg) ---
