hastifc Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 well, finally jumped into the datsun world after doing a ka engine/tranny swap on a friends' 620. always wanted a 510 since a kid, but went the vw route. moved on after 25 years, and there was a void left.. met tagen and his 4 door at the end of the swap, great guy! anyways, located a 69 521 down south wa., drove it home while tallying everything that needed to be done, as it was trashed :mellow: ive started working on it, but progress will be slow, as i also fabricate and do gunsmithing as well, but it will see the road. picked up a new hood, bed, l16 frame mounts, wheels, dogleg( thx datdoug!), l16, l18, etc... sooooo... heres some pics, nothing special. then this showed up... apparently they are pack animals..:D Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Awesome. Love the pair of trucks. Love the Subi. I use to have an 87 that I had lifted and a EJ 2.0. Wish I still had it. I would leave Jeeps straight stuck in that thing. Welcome to Ratsun. Quote Link to comment
hastifc Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 thx guys. love the subie myself. i know im 4-linking the black one with coilovers, discs, and L18t with megasquirt. gotta figure out what to do with the second. probably keeping it a cruiser... but i doubt it;) Quote Link to comment
hastifc Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 with any luck, and a break in scheduling, i will be installing my overhead hoist this weekend to seperate the black body from the frame. then the fun can start! Quote Link to comment

hastifc Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 fair warning: updates will be slow coming, as im trying to open a gunsmithing shop thats eating a lot of time... but ill do my best! Quote Link to comment
hastifc Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 not really an update, but after more inspection, the black one is pretty swiss cheesed, and there would be TONS of patching and seam sealing.. so, gonna make 2 into 1, with the red one being the survivor. i will collect all surviving parts from blackie for other 521 owners.... still wanting to do coilovers but i dont think its possible without ditching the fuel tank, or modifying the bed. neither is an option im interested in. ordered front and rear brackets from beebani.. thats it as im still trying to reconfigure garage and doing buttloads of paperwork, as well as working on the wifes 68 bmw 1602..
