Vegas Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hey everyone, my name is Vegas, I work as an artist at The Tattoo Lady in Hammond, IN. Today I bought a 1976 Datsun 620. I also have a 1992 Nissan 240sx, that seems up all of your alleys. here is a few pics of the 240, Datsun pics up tomorrow: the motor is bone stock. and currently in half. replacing the head gasket atm. head gets back from machine shop this week. i bought the Datsun as a daily, but after looking around, i see it becoming just like my 240 lol Enjoy.

pharouh Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 cool! Another Hoosier with a 620! That makes 2 of us! :rofl: You're about 3 hours from me. (Shelbyville) I'm restoring a 73 620,so we should have a lot to talk about. Can't wait to see pics! Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Please tell me you were just mocking up that nice Grant wheel? I notice there are only two screws holding it in. While definitely "ratsun" that could be slightly dangerous. :) Oh, and welcome! Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Nice we like datsuns and nissans and lots of pics Quote Link to comment
Vegas Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 here they are. and as for the grant wheel, unfortunatley, thats how many is holding it on, the hub isnt correct, and no one can get a new one for me. the old wheel was held on by 2 as well, but they were next to each other, so the wheel came loose. :( datto is amazing, the brakes need bled. its terrifying lol Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Very nice! You got some work ahead of you, that's for sure. Be sure to make a build thread so I can keep track :P Quote Link to comment
