chamb-o Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Alright I've been lurking for a while now and finally signed up... Hi, my name is Mike and a while back I purchased a 78 810 wagon and have been daily driving the crap out of it when I first had it after doing a little work then I refinished the wheels bought a parts car salvaged some stuff As it sits now... my plans as they are now: 5speed swap rebuild l28, f54/n47 flat tops custom intake manifold MSnS header dual exaust paint swap over to 280zx front suspension (for the rack and pinion, and so I can run a rear sump pan) IRS from 280 all under s13 coils (I have some laying around) but that can change when I get into it a little further Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 That bumper is undoubtedly the best solution to US market bumpers that I've ever seen. Well done. Stay close, I'd like to see more of your wagon. Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Where in colorado are you? my buddy should be buying a 510 wagon in a week or so and we are going to get it road worthy at my place, I have a 280z 2+2 I have been building for 5 years. It would be sweet to see some other datsuns. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 What if you joined and welded behind the vertical bumper part so the weld doesn't show? Still great idea. Quote Link to comment

Still great idea. Unfortunately I tried the bumpers were not long enough... eventually I want to lead it and re-chrome Quote Link to comment
