Nas Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) What's up, fellas? My name is Nas. Another new guy here, with a 74 datsun pick-up named Julius. This is the orange 74 that shay posted in the for sale forum. I've wanted a custom bullet side since I was 8yo, and saw one in minitruckin magazine. I had been wanting a new project for some time, but couldn't find anything I was into in the seattle area. Then I found this forum and looked at shays post. Bingo! So my buddy and I drove down to lyle, wa to save this little guy from a boring life sitting around in the country. My friend is a talented mechanic, so I let him handle getting the mechanics sorted so I could roll w/o worrying about breaking down. Ill handle the interior and cosmetics as time and money permit. I'm planning on keeping Julius real clean and happy, so we can roll around seattle hollering at girls, picking up random furniture projects, old pedal and moto bikes, and hauling stuff from place to place. Here's a link to the thread my buddy evs-one put up with pictures of julius: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=14619 Big thanks to Evan, who owns 360 imports down in vancouver, wa. This guy does it all, from basic mantenance to full custom roll cages to v6 swaps into civics to american steel. Edited August 20, 2009 by Nas Quote Link to comment

Stock Lowered fr/rr Painted the wheels Beauty rings! Found a killer hookup on beauty rings in the Portland area if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment
