fo0manchu Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Sorry that's what I ment was cut the houseing, what did you use to make sure the axle tubes were straight and centerd? i just measured, marked, checked everything, made a little jig.. tacked everything up... made sure everything is straight and welded away.

67 411 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 What engine are you gonna run? Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 What engine are you gonna run? Thanks man. I already got a KA24de turbo in there. It had already been running untill I decided to swap out the rear. Got sick up all the wheel hop and one tire burnouts and crappy traction. I have been entertaining the thought of a vg30et though. Other project posts with that swap has gotten my attention. Quote Link to comment
67 411 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I would just build up you ka or maby do a sr swap, that way you have a lot less time were you can't drive it. Plus they doth make good power. Quote Link to comment

Do the VG30et! I've got a tube-frame 510 (2-door) P-R-O-J-E-C-T in process (enternally) with the VG30et, but I was thinking a 8.8 rear-end, 4-linked wagon with the VG30et would be a super idea. -Here you are half-way along with it!!

67 411 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah I'm not saying don't do it, it would definetly be cool. Quote Link to comment

67 411 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I just read through this again and you car looks great. I was wondering if you had any info or suggestions on setting up a 4 link like yours. Your setup looks like what I wana do on my project. Do you have any more pics Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Haven't done much due to time. Will try to get more pictures up. Got some seats in and a chance to test fit some different wheels. Might be flaring it out so I can fit some meatier rubber under there, so I got some fender flares and molded another to see how it would look. My recommendation is the satchel 4 link like what I did. Measure twice cut once! Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 mocked up some wheels and flares. Not sure on the front flares yet, might cut them down a little bit. Will be getting smaller tires up front as well. probably 205 instead of the 215's. Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Nice! Always wanted to see flares on a wagon. Quote Link to comment
sick620 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Nice, what wheels are those? I like them flares with those wheels! Nice work on the suspension... Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Nice! Always wanted to see flares on a wagon. More wagon flares: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/674663/1971-datsun-510/page-1 check it out! Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 More wagon flares: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/674663/1971-datsun-510/page-1 check it out! yah, ive seen that one. Pretty awesome, but not the look i would go for. I'm going to go 15" wheels 16 max, and lower. Quote Link to comment
67 411 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hey those flares look great, i would definetly cut down the front ones that would look awsome. Your car looks so good keep up man. Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 yah, ive seen that one. Pretty awesome, but not the look i would go for. I'm going to go 15" wheels 16 max, and lower. I've seen that one too but the wheels make it very unique. It looks good but not as good as smaller wheels. Your use of the smaller wheels would make your wagon resemble a flared 2 door. Better proportioned. Quote Link to comment
