Also worth pointing out: Every FB Marketplace locale has someone parting out Nissans. Lots of them. There are certainly Nissan six-speed transmissions out there and you could probably nab a few Altimas to put together a decently fun car that would probably start in Class B.

Yeah, uh, no. I had one of these for a while. For the record I am willing to drive my HMV Freeway on the freeway, I am willing to drive my exceedingly tinny voiture sans permis in Seattle traffic, I am willing to drive my fully-caged two-stroke SAAB pretty much anywhere on public roads without wearing gear, and, in general, I am willing to engage in many profoundly ill-advised automotive activities, but these things are so poorly designed, so poorly constructed, and so poorly, well, everything, that I cut mine into little pieces and threw it away:

Have that 66 Mustang themed as a "father/son project" and just have a father and son screaming at each other through tech and throughout the weekend. Lots of flashlight holding. etc.

Guess it says it right on the hood, rocker panel, and rear quarter. Ope, should probably flip through ALL the photos. It's obviously been ages since I've seen a 2.2 without the TURBO valve cover.
