new to me 71 510 build start

[71pl510]

So I have been lurking here for awhile and picked up a 71 a few weeks ago so far I have the left side stripped of paint and started on the front and back ends pulled the 2L motor today to start on the motor bay prep for paint and swap sr20det I think not sure about that yet. I am still on the steep part of the learning curve and searching the forums for answers.

 

I want to keep the fenders stock but have the widest rubber possible soooo my question is do the coil over rear shocks decrease the clearance on the rear wheel wells.

 

Thanks

Nice to have you here. You've found the best place for Datsun info. Probably everything you need to know is buried somewhere in past posts. It's kind of traditional to post pics of your car, no matter how bad it looks. I even put up a couple of my F10, and it's no beauty queen. So I'll be the first to say - Post Pics (when you can).

here are some pics of what I am doing left side stripped of paint floorboards sand blasted chem treated rust painted then coated with undercoat there was surface rust, the worst on drivers floorboard. pulled the engine yesterday and need to start the cleanup of the engine bay. It;s about 15 degrees out in the garage right now so kind of hard to get too modivated.

Lots to do but I am fairly motivated until it get's below about 30 deg then I start to loose intrest.
