datsuntech Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 If it was only that easy... He hit the curb hard enough to make the T/C rod mount concave instead of flat where the bushings mount. That's going to take a bit of massaging to get straight again. At least he didn't damage the body. I hate body work. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 For that money I think I would go with Bprojects. Unless they have skyrocketed in price since the last set I bought. Quote Link to comment

jovial_cynic Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Just welded up the 510 spring perches onto my 280zx struts. I forgot that I hadn't ordered the strut inserts, so I hopped into rockauto.com and ordered a set. Now I get to hurry up and wait. 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Got a 60 amp altinator and regulator. Found a headlight relay to clean up and get the lights going better on the 72 sedan. Still gotta find all the parts to do the front end together. 2 Quote Link to comment
ByStickel Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Got me 4 of these. Rota TBT 15x8, 0 offset. May not get tires until spring, after it warms up. They'll fit on my flared 510 and my Z; that's nice. 2 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Took the 72 for a ride with my brouther. That new 60 amp altinator really kicks up the lights. After I redo the light relay it should be unreal. What a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yea the back window is the hard part if I remember I used 3 strips and with a razor blade made a line across where it overlapped, then pulled out the strips that where wast and carefully squeezed it so the seem was very clean and less noticeable.

Yeah that's how I've seen it on 510s. I haven't got mine done partially because I want to find a rear glass that's in better shape, and possibly get it tinted with it out of the car.

paradime Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Smart move to tint with the glass out Shack. Makes it so much easier to cut in and get the tint all the way to the edge of the glass. Personally I love the look on a 510 as long as the paint is a flat color. I saw it done on a light blue metallic Dime and it just didn't look right to me. Mine 3 Quote Link to comment

I saw way back where people where putting the parts in the doors and trunk to use a fob to open them. Quote Link to comment
