Welcome to ZDriver!

Is that a picture of your car, or a pic you found online?

Egh. I'd go Panda on it. Black and white is a good classic look.

in that pic i'd paint what is blue black. and yes i can agree about it being to much work to do it now, but shoulda done it while in the process. but i can see how that would conflict with what your life was doing at the time.

you can get the main rear bushings from nissan. you may want to make the diff mount solid by welding steel to it. or if you dont want to buy the expensive bushing do the same on the side mounts

I am beginning this same swap this coming week and would appreciate any info you could send my way. Especially interested in the motor and trans mounts.

Thanks
