my 620 progress

[datsunfish]

I have been taking advantage of the nice days to work on the 620 now that I have it running nice.Since I swapped out the motor with a 210 head and stock mani & weber I have an amazing increase in gas mileage.Before it got about 19 mpg.Now,de-tuned,as it is I am getting over 25 mpg.Honest!I used to watch the needle go down and now it is much slower.Also the power is still good.Better low end torque.

So heres some pics of the cool stuff.

Tell me this shit aint cool!Faux wood grain dash.Pain in the ass but cool as hell!

another shot

got started on the body work then the weather went to shit.

the whole fam-damily:)

I finished off the exhaust.Yes it points foreward but I like it that way!

[datsun dreamer]

Nice 620:D Do you plan on installing a tach? Noticed the empty spot:).

[DatDoug]

It looks way better w/o the canopee. The color is better too. What wa that other color anyway? Like a shit-bringled-brown?:blink: I need you to do some body work on my 620. Teah I still have it:fu:

[datsunaholic]

Ah, yes, always good to have an exhaust that will ram-scoop water when you run through puddles. But I do like the woodgrain facia.

[datsunfish]

No tach,I had one but sold it to a friend.I have a stock 72 block off plate somewhere.Otherwise..woodgrain diamond plate!:D

I believe it was "shit bringled brown" as a matter of fact.A rare JDM only color common on most 72.5s sitting in the bush rotting away.The doors and fenders are somewhat solid primer but the bed and upper cab is just a quick dirty shoot to even it up so I dont look like a total ass driving it.

I suppose there is a point as far as water going up the pipe.I argued with a guy at work that swore up and down that it would run horrible on the highway on account of air backflow.Actually I didnt argue with him I just said"shut the f@ck up Steve!"

[datsunfish]

Also datdoug,did you notice the guy you got your 620 from had the exact same horribly ugly canopy I had on one of those?I gave mine to a friend with a hardbody 4x4 single cab and it looks f@cking killer.Really.

Sweet, get ready for rusted lugnuts and peeled clear coat on the wheels behind the exhaust though!!

i like the wood and the rims. now that its staying light out more we can all work on our rigs longer. the weather has been nice too.
