oldschool90 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 well theres no reason why you can't start one of your own using this as a model. Other than the fact that there's no other datsuns around here :) Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Other than the fact that there's no other datsuns around here :) LOL, yeah well i guess you can't argue with that. Your just going to have to rep for everyone then. any pics? Quote Link to comment
oldschool90 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Your just going to have to rep for everyone then. What do you mean? any pics? Not recent ones, but I found a couple: I'd go out and take better ones, but I have it all torn apart right now. Quote Link to comment
oldschool80sguy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 NIce truck. I was just saying since your the only one in your area your gonna have to make a real nice example out of your truck to represent for the lack of datsuns there. I like it, are you tearing it down for any specific reason? Quote Link to comment
oldschool90 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I was just saying since your the only one in your area your gonna have to make a real nice example out of your truck to represent for the lack of datsuns there. I have seen a couple of trucks around here, but its extremely rare to see them. One's a 720 and one's a 620. But like I said, it's rare to see them. I've only seen the 720 maybe twice in the past 6 or 7 years and maybe a couple times more for the 620. I like it, are you tearing it down for any specific reason? Thanks, I love my truck. Lets see, I have the drivers side side panel off because I opened the door one day and the door caught the edge of the side panel and bent it pretty bad. I have the hood off because I wanted to start painting the truck but after painting it with rattle can paint, it looked horrible. So I stripped the paint off (again) and now it's just sitting in a shed until I can figure out how to at least seal it for now so it doesn't rust. I have the carb off because I noticed I had gas leaking right onto a nice hot intake mani. I have the trans out because I'm in the proccess of rebuilding it. I have the exhaust mani out because I broke a stud taking the nut off so I could take the trans out. AND to top it all off, I have a crankshaft coming soon so I'll be tearing the lower half of the motor down to swap that out. Quote Link to comment

oldschool90 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Your gonna Be busy! LOL wish we could help. *sigh* I know. I wish I had the help. It's quite a load of work to do. I just gotta stay focused and motivated. Eventually I'll get it done and I can start with the looks. I eventually want to lower it a tad and paint it. Quote Link to comment

Hey all, 1 car per weekend. a different members house or car every sunday. if you don't have a good garage then you can bring it to mine for the work. so on the 30th we will see who paid dues and decide who is next.

socaldatsun Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I've tried paying with my car and says that my card cannot be used. I've never used paypall so maybe I'm doing something wrong? do I need a paypall acount for this? Quote Link to comment
Digi7al Trauma Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Just had another thought: even for people who are not local to greater san diego, you could still snatch up the idea and run with it in your area. If this gets enough support i may even cover the fees to make this an official meetup group. that way even in different locations we could all still share experiences with how the group is running in other locations. Sharks with lasers you know? that would be an awesome idea, but sadly ive only met two other ratsunners in Nc... one got banned, and i bought his 620... the other is about 5 hours away..... plus i havent seen any other datsuns anywhere around my area lol But I will keep you informed if i find some people :cool: Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Bump for any other san diego member that might have missed this. Quote Link to comment
