The Red headed Hottie and i are driving something Datsun up. May throw some parts in the trunk, but last year at Canby selling was a waste of time. Totally cool with parts delivery on request. Just really wondering what the hell i will have available to drive, seems I'm back to selling everything cool I build. would be cool to see the normal crew of Datsun heads Keeper out

Two for the price of one and a 1200.

Looks well sorted! Nice buy! I went and visited my car this week as she sits out the winter in a nice and warm place 👍

About when I made the tail light repair thread, I put together some pairs of 521 tail lights, for my 521 trucks. Since then, I have let it be known that I will take any 521 tail light parts, no matter how damaged. I might be able to come up with some pieces you need.

There would be three fusible links connected to the positive battery terminal. One Black and two Greens. One Green link goes directly to the ignition switch and in the ON position powers fuse 1 through 5 In the Accessory position powers fuse 6 and 7. These are all items that need to be controlled on and off by the ignition... fuel pump, rear defogger, ignition. The Black is connected directly to the alternator to take the charging output and then also to fuse 8 through 13 on the fuse box. Fuse 8 clock Fuse 9 not used Fuse 10 powers the heater fan through the switch. Fuse 11 powers the horn Fuse 12 is the brake lights and 4 way emergency lamps Fuse 13 powers the side markers, license, tail lights, parking lights, interior light, and dash lights. The other Green link powers fuse 14 and 15 the L & R headlights

I started cutting some rocker rust out. Got distracted by all the squirrel nests and acorns. I'm kinda jumping around so seats are out and the floor work has begun. It will all be one color. Here's a before: I finally finished the IRS cover panel and seam sealed it. No pics of it finished but I'll show it once it's painted. With the interior bare, I noticed the shock mounts were starting to rust. These were hastily fabbed up the week before I moved here so I could dolly tow it without the rear end bouncing everywhere. I never really finished them, but they made it through the 2018 Challenge. With speed holes and paint, they are now finished. About 1/4 lb removed. Since I was jacking up the rear to get the shocks out, I saw an opportunity to replace the rear springs back to OEM height, hopefully raising the rear and leveling out the stance. Here's my super awesome trick for easy rear spring removal. Not sure it's any better, but maybe? Also I paid $18 to get some new numbers stamped on this thing I found at a flea market.

Cheaned up her plugs and that crap that builds up in the rotor cap an Wala she runs great again. So took her to drink coffee this foggy morning.

She's new to me, my wife named her Jolene. Naturally as soon as I got her it's been rainy basically every day so she's just taunting me from the garage. I took her out for a quick trip to the DMV to transfer the title and had a bit of fun getting the rear end loose in second gear 😉

Got a bit carried away on the left door so back to priming stage Been pushing the car by the wheels and it sucks, figured it was time to install steering. and sold the coilover built for this bird. but got a hold of some others and went with it.

Primer time On to the inside of the hood and doors This hood is near perfect besides this rust WTF However instead of welding it up i decided to use panel bond, " said to be better then welding" Clear it real good and squeeze it in there. One door was blasted couple days ago the other blasted a year ago, hand print rust, my fav Metal prep to the rescue Sealed DP40LF epoxy primer sealer
