I found a picture from when I was there. They were all in this type of condition except for the ones he drove.

Found another.

Sounds like you have a good grip on your plan, keep a notebook handy, draw lots of diagrams and label EVERYTHING you take off, put every nut bolt and washer into zip loks with a label of where it came from(plan on replacing lots of rusted and broken nuts and bolts). I would suggest you get the Nissan FSM its somewhat better than the Chilton's. I started on a "refresh" of my 75 which was going to be a 6 month project and 19 months later its still not complete, you will get into the "while I'm here I might as well do ....." thing pretty quickly so I think your 6 month plan is way optimistic, also plan on spending at least 40% more than you figured. Doing all the work yourself will prove to be very satisfying and you will learn a lot of new skills. Have fun and remember the folks on this board are more than happy to help you in all manner of things, I couldn't have done mine without them.
