There isn't one. haha. If there was i would definitely use that for a while just so i can drive it. But around here its hard to find a datsun, period. even in the junk yard.

That would be cool. It looks good, and if you ever want to get rid of it........ :thumbup:

Thanks man I actually have that bookmarked. It has almost everything I need to know. I found a KA on craigs for $$100 I didnt know if he was serious so i called him and told him i was gunna come pick it up tomorrow and he never answered again. :'( but ill keep bugging him to see what the deal is :thumbup:

excuse my ignorance haha but what front spoiler is that?

Anyone know if i could run coilovers on the rear? If so what mods would have to be made? And im thinking of building the a14, but is it worth it? i want to get is going as fast as possible, and i like the idea of keeping the motor but its hard to find a trans. whats the smartest idea? i also found this on Craigslist. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/pts/3341240314.html how easy of a swap is this?

thanks man. any one know where i can get rear springs??? there sagging like grandma tits.

I hope so, its just gunna take some time.Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what i need to get it low and still ride decent? Whats the most bang for my buck?

You guys should definitely post pics so i can see what you guys are working on.

Fixed and thanks. Arent old 200sx rears hard to find??

I've liked Datsuns for a while but could never find one, so when i seen this on craigslist (literally 2 mins from my house) and i had to go look at it. It had a a14 with a 5 speed and 174,XXX miles on it. but the day before i went to see it the guy sold the transmission -__-.It has been sitting since 94 after a kid ran it into a ditch, bent the wheel and fender and they didn't want to fix it. (or so the guy says.) so he said 200 and i figured "why not i could get about that much in scrap." So he towed it home for me yesterday, and now i have a project on my hands and im gunna need some help,because I'm not to sure of what im doing haha. I pretty much want to get it in working order. I want to swap the a14 with a KA24 and a 5speed, and have it on coilover sleeves or whatever, but im not to sure what to do with the rear. I also want to put flares on it, but dont know which ones to get. ??? Can anyone tell me what Ill need to do to get it where i want it? Anyway here are some pictures of what i started doing. Hopefully ill get some better ones tomorrow of the whole car.

IMG_2560 by dblockcakes, on Flickr and why does it have a gangstah lean??haha just bad shock/ springs? IMG_2524 by dblockcakes, on Flickr UPDATE: Took off fenders, bumpers, hood, finished tearing the carpet out, got most of the rust removed from behind the back bumper, and i think that's it. IMG_2581 by dblockcakes, on Flickr IMG_2583 by dblockcakes, on Flickr Opened up the glove box and found this mostly empty. maybe that contributed to running into the ditch. haha IMG_2590 by dblockcakes, on Flickr Mouse nests in every place possible. IMG_2594 by dblockcakes, on Flickr i found this little dude in there. IMG_2599 by dblockcakes, on Flickr IMG_2604 by dblockcakes, on Flickr IMG_2606 by dblockcakes, on Flickr Still not too sure why its leaning so much. The springs are much more compressed on this side than the other. Any ideas?
