Project "Blu WagOOn"

[DatDoug]

This 69 510 wagOOn is my daily driver rite now & I am doing little fixes here & there. I am also working on finishing my Garage/Shop so I can get my 521 road ready. Then I can start the real work on Ol Blu here:cool:

 

So far I have done the following:

 

Better Weber carb 32/36 put new elec. choke on.

 

New/Old windshield Got it for $40 down in the Couv:D

 

Put a nice thick rubber mat in the back cargo area

 

Stereo & speakers (relax! I did no cutting)

 

Hedlite relays

 

Electronic ignition

 

More little things I want/need to do:

 

These things are coming in the mail: Hood bumpers, domelite, gas pedal, brake and clutch peddle pads, gOOn squad sticker:D

 

Alternator upgrade

 

280 z struts that I just bot:D

 

Hook up the horns someone installed

 

After I get the 521 on the road:

 

Swap out the L16 for a built L20 with Hi-Comp A87 peanut head

 

Z 5speed

I'm sure there will be more. Here are a few pics.

Well, you'll just have to come out with Jeff and I next time I'm down Doug!

[DatDoug]

I have been having trouble with the hedlites on the blu-wagOOn so I took these lites from my 521 & put them in. I love the look:thumbup: Now just got to get them to work rite:blink:

 

[Guest DatsuNoob]

Lookin sharp Doug! Very nice wagon, keep the pics coming.

[DatDoug]

Have not been doing much with Ol Blu but driving the shEEit out of it. But I threw it in the garage & put it on stands & pulled the tranny & front struts. Got 1 of the 280z struts in tonite. Also found out my dogleg 5 speed is for a NapZ :angry: Hopefully I can find a bad L series dogleg & swap front Housings.

Any Luck putting that bell on? I'm curious to see how it worked out!

[DatDoug]

Yes I did get the front bell on my dogleg trans. Thanks again Jacob for coming thru! Datsunfish & I spent the better part of Sat. nite fucking with that thing! First we could not get the front bearing keeper clip off then we could not get it back together rite. Finally we figured it out bout 11:30 @ nite! Put it in the next day & diecovered that a dogleg trans IS NOT a direct bolt in to the 510. Bolted up to motor ok but I had to fight the crossmember, cut the tunnel cuz the shifter sat more forward. But its in & I have a 5 speed in my goon! Took it for a spin & it shifts smooth & tite! Car rides & handles way better now with the front coilovers too. Now I neeed to take it in for alinement.

 

I will post pics later as I am exhausted from the work.

 

The next thing is to put together my L20 & throw it in:)

[DatDoug]

Got Ol Blu back in the garage. Pulled the L16 & I am currently cleaning the engine bay & getting it ready 4 paint. Was going to go with satin black but the paint guy @ the parts store talked me into going with the stock blue. He mixed me up a pint & I did the under side of the hood & WOW! It looks great. Im glad I went with the blue instead of black. :D Should av the engine bay painted by tomoro nite. Also getting my L20 bored .50 over with A87 ready to bolt in :w00t:

How do you know its a Delta Cam?

[gen4maxima536]

I'm guessing because of the blue paint near the rear of the cam, they use it as an in-house job priority/custom job marking

[banzai510(hainz)]

[DatDoug]

Its slo goin but I am making progress. Got the pan cleaned & painted. Got the valve cover cleaned & shined up. I wanted to go with the wrinkled black look on the Valve cover but I had this polished 1 on temp. & it looked so good I am going with it. Picked up my radiator. Got my studs in the head. :frantics: Damn! There is so much to do!

 

DatsunFish (Ben) is coming over tonite to help me with my exhaust mani. Its the stock L16 mani & downpipe & since I am using the taller L20 the pipe hits the block on the ear that bolts to tranny. So we need 2 cut & angle it away a lil. :frantics:
