Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Honestly it's a no name brand from Home depot. I used 1 & 2 inch widths. Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Do you have any pictures of the engine bay underside of your wagon? More specificly the hoses running from the trans to the radiator and back. Hopefully the set up on your car is still pretty clean and factory compared to mine. :rolleyes: Anyways, any pics you can offer would be greatly appriciated. :D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I can jack up the car & snap those pics for you in the next few days. Mine is about as stock as you can get & semi clean so you can see what you need to see. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey Mark I thought I'd post the pics we took of our little informal Datsun meet at my place just after you picked up your goon. :) Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Gen..pics this week i promise :D. This week i used a product designed to restore faded paint on the hood & im impressed [thanks Guy]... I had compounded & waxed it before but it was starting to haze again. This product is supposed to "lock in" the shine for a long time..then i waxed over it... Im excited..just wanted to share :cool: Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 PRESTO !! :lol: Guy gray bought it off E bay...did his 620 & only used half the bottle. The other half will do my wagon.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ok Gensaiken heres those pics i promised...hope they help... & i also installed the GR starter...the old unit was in rough shape.. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ok i know more boring cleaning & painting pics :rolleyes: I also "ratsunized" a fan shroud out of an 80 720 & made it fit in the wagon. I cut 2 inches out of the width & trimmed it in a few spots.... & got underneath..degreased & painted most of whats vivible while im driving... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Pacman so any starter will fit the L series auto? For some reason I thought I remembered you saying that the auto one was a little different. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Pacman so any starter will fit the L series auto? For some reason I thought I remembered you saying that the auto one was a little different. Good memory Jeff. Back when i got the car @ Marios he gave me a starter & the solenoid was touching the block preventing the starter holes to line up. The GR unit came out of a 80,s Z car & cost $12 :cool: Now i need to bypass the neautral safety switch so i can start it w/ a key :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 ;) use the N safety switch wires as a secret anti theft switch :mellow: Quote Link to comment

denveratsun Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Love the bamboo man!:D Feels like Da' Islands Bradah! This thread has helped me a lot. I am thinking about picking up a light blue '71 510 wagon from a guys field in Nebraska. Totally complete...really clean body...ran when parked...titled...tiny rust spot in the bottom corner of the passenger side front fender 3-4 hundred bucks. I think it sounds good to me. The tips on here have helped me know what to look for. My 521 is just missing something:blink: Like...enough room for all the butts.:lol: Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Ok been awhile..just been driving the wagon & enjoying my 30 mpg:D believe it or not i now have another set of rims for the wagon thanks to Mario [71 dimer] He scored some 13 x 5 center line look-a-likes w/ good tires. They need to be cleaned,sanded & polished then they will look fine... he also set me up with an electronic dist. w/ matchbox which ill swap in soon...:cool: Quote Link to comment
