    Hung out with my good friend Abdu yesterday. We did a nice little cruise up to Malibu. We explored a few different beaches and checked out a worthy canyon run. We jumped into the ocean together, climbed rocks together, ate together, took photos together, and saw what Malibu is really about, together.

    We came across more than one strange thing as well, but I won't get into that here.

    The car did well. It didn't blow up or stop on us, which was nice. Abdu managed to take a nice photo of the car during the canyon run, and I snapped another with my iphone. I had to climb a large rock to get the shot, but it was worth it.











    There are very few limits I won't cross to get a good instagram photo.




    It was a great day.

          Definitely an excellent day and everything he said happened.
          Ryan's car was a trooper and is surprisingly comfortable for how planted it is. He's definitely taking it towards the right direction.

          Here are a few more pictures of our exploration of Malibu. It'll happen again in time.

                        I needed a pedal box for the Sacramento car, so I went and got one. Except it came with a lot of extra parts. It was a pretty good deal.

                        Loading Up:






                        Driving back:







                        Passenger Side:








                        4 engine blocks. 2 are short blocks, two are bare blocks. No idea on the condition yet.







                        Car came with a VERY detailed log. The first owner took note of everything he did to the car. I mean everything. Here is my favorite entry in his journal-log:








                        Unloaded the car and began unloading contents. It gets a bit wild. It's actually in pretty nice condition. Especially the front clip.








                        A bunch of boxes filled with misc nuts and bolts and things. Overwhelming.








                        A whole lot of things. 3 sets of front corner windows with trim. And much more








                        And more things. 3 transmissions. 2 heads, 3 extra valve covers, 3 extra intake manifolds, 3 extra oil pans, 3 extra flywheels, a nice spare tire well, a few good crankshafts, weber carbs, a complete set of BWA Sportster wheels in 13x6 (<12 lbs each), 4 perfect early hubcaps, and a bunch more stuff. Just look:








                        How about an extra set of struts? Extra front subframe? I know you want three more brake boosters and two heater cores:







                        Anyone need a piston?








                        I always wanted 8 driveshafts. One is a bonerfied 5 speed driveshaft which is cool. Car also came with beat up recaros. Can be reupholstered.






                        And I'm pretty sure I have the original Arizona license plate. Dates back to 1973. Pretty neat.







                        VIN of the car:















                        Not a bad haul.

                            I hope not. Because that would be bad.
                            I just buy things. Whatever comes my way and sounds like a good deal, I buy.

                              Fixed.


                              Sounds like you got a good score of parts. I do the same thing, if I find a good deal on parts, I can't resist.
