Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Gene. Cut off & re-use the front part..or just have a driveline shop do it.I picked up a VW part yesterday that may be used as a shifter....pix soon Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I spent a few hours today working on a VW connecting rod that i want as a new shifter. It was rusted bad..took a wire wheel & brush to it & after a few hours its done.Ill leave it bare metal & i also made a new shift boot thats secured to the floor under the console. 2 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 TY Steve. I picked up a few more VW rods & a box full of random gears last weekend for future shifter fabrication. Took a pic a few weeks back.You can see the lower bedside extension a little better here.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 In preperation for WCN in April I am working on the air bag system. I added a 2nd air tank after giving it a "rough" look & made some brackets for a 2nd battery that will power the air compressor. & I welded on an old bed hook to the wheel well that will secure the black hose on the new tank.

Steroid Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I still don't see where You installed the HUSSOMETER. I know it is working for You though, as well if not better than Tony's. Quote Link to comment

My hard top is ghetto, I used chrome vw baja hood clamps to clamp the top and some lowes home gate latches on bottom but I need to get those outta there and get another set of baja's. Also My roof is pretty sad overall with lots of ripples in the top :( Heres a current pic of my vert... go vert 620's! :) Also planning on a backwards dump soon... :) Quote Link to comment
