The Wats look good. Do you know specifically what color of bronze they used?

This is one of my favorite cars on Ratsun. Nice work on the control arms. Your TIG welds look great, I can see good penetration on the back side of the joints. I started TIG welding a couple of years ago and what makes my welds look good is making sure everything is super clean, a tight fit up at the joints, and lots of practice. Since I don't weld all the time when I have a welding project I find, or make, similar type joints from scrap and practice a bunch before I start welding on my actual piece. Keep up the nice work!

I dig your car, but that 70's "Safety" bumper has got to go.

Congratulations on the win! You earned it for sure. Thank you for taking the time to post your build, it's one of my favorites on Ratsun.

Awesome work you guys! Thank you for sharing your experiences with everyone, this one of my favorite threads. It's cool to see 50 year old Datsuns still kicking ass.

If you follow this link you can see Bert Vorgan's 510 with a turbo L20B making 300HP since the 80's with a Weber in a box. http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25088&start=90

They're welded to the strut tube. You can see it in this link. https://responsetype.com/shop/datsun/fairlady-s130/280zx-to-s13-coilover-adapter-kit/

I hope you do too since I pulled the trigger on a set. I'm interested to see how much more tire clearance you can gain, if you can reduce the scrub radius and still be able to add the camber you want.

Those adapters are super cool. They're made by a company called rt.trackpro. Their web site is https://responsetype.com/shop/. I only got the website to load properly once. They have a bunch of cool products, I hope they are still in business.

I found this over on the Realm. http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11086

Super cool car, nice job on getting back to life.

I'm in.

I like green or blue with those wheels. Green is opposite of brown/bronze on the color wheel, which makes it a complimentary color. I painted my car green with bronze wheels so I'm biased that way. Paints fucking expensive, so make it something you're going to dig for years to come.

Honestly, when you said you were going to paint it purple, I thought, all that work and your going to paint it purple, WTF! But it looks awesome, way to go!

Where did your get those door panels, they look sweet!
