smelt240 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 OK I finally got on here,after buying a car from Wharf Rat,I just wanted to say hello to everyone,and throw out my current projects info. I bought the RL411 SSS of him a month or so ago,and have been driving the wheels off it,I also have 2 510 2 doors,one(the 72) is as parked in 1980 with 35,000 miles showing,and the plates and inspection sticker still from 1980 still on it.It was bought for $250 up in the mountains in northern Maine,it will be our driver when its all been gone over,the other is a 71 rust free(with the exception of the DS footwell,where the salt water from Virginia beach has made a few pinholes),I sanded the whole car down,and found only skims of filler here an there from all the dents dings and other minor mishaps over the last 38 years.It came with a bunch of factory performance parts,suspension,aluminum drums,carbs,3 engines,4 trannies,and a few truckloads of misc new and like new parts.Im in the process of getting it into shape to be a BRE clone,the paperwork is all sent in to BRE2,this winter it should all be done.After years of driving muscle cars,and 5 or 6 built 240sx's,it was time to go back to what I really liked to drive(Datsuns of course),so i started with a 1978 Datsun pickup.Ill update this with some pics soon,it wont let me post attachments yet.

smelt240 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 As soon as the camera charges a bit more,Ill get a bunch of better shots of the 510s and the 411...heres one more of the 240sx,its sitting about 50% of the way down,I could go lower,but the way I have the rear wheels cambered now for clearance is a little much,for a street car anyway...and I can barely get out of the driveway now.
