OK, so the last sentence in my last entry was more than a little optimistic. It's been a bit longer than "soon". Oh well, sorry. (As if anyone really cares.)
Got most of the non-Datsun projects at home wrapped up. Still some maintenance to perform on the other vehicles, but nothing particularly major. We did get the headliner installed in the Datsun a couple of weekends ago. And I took a couple of new pictures, one of which is below.
Yesterday, I left right after breakfast and drove to Portland again. Actually, to Blue Lake Park just East of Portland. The NW Datsun Owners' Association held their annual Show there. I decided that even though I'd rather drive somewhere other than up the freeway to Portland again, I wanted to meet up with my friends up there bad enough to justify the trip. (Next trip with the Datsun will be over roads that are more fun, I've promised myself that.)
It turned out to be a pretty nice show. Well attended, a wide variety of Datsuns and a few more modern Nissans, good weather - all in all, a pretty good day. Chatted most of the day with friends, and even came home with an award, even though I did no preparation, and didn't even clean off the bugs from the 125 mile drive to the show.
Nothing much else to report on the car itself. I'm still looking at carpet suppliers, and doing a bit of research on more wheels too. But that's about it for now.
