the engine is stripped and ready to be pulled out but im having problems with the transmission, both bolts to drain the fluid are striped and i can;t get to the last bolt on the drive shaft so hopefully that will get done today.

 

Unfortunetly theres alot of things i wish i never saw, plenty of rust and weldin to do, well thats for later

thats how the night ended, now later today i have to strip out the other side and take all the parts to be stored away, so that will give me some extra work room, after that it's time to start sand blasting and cutting out the rust and the worst part isdeffiinetlythe floor boards and frame rails,surprisingly no where else really, and the battery tray is perfect!

little over a year later, the car is finally in the shop to be sandblasted, took it to Ace sand blasting in Chicago, great guys to work with and definitely not a place that will break your wallet to get a WHOLE car sandblasted, i wish i took pictures of the 280 in a U Haul truck, will have pictures when the cars on its way back, Also got the engine coming in, can you say VQ37dett? i know everyone likes the old skyline motors, but i feel this 280 wants a little new gtr in it .
