willz Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 sort of, but I really want the black rivet-on flares, some fender mirrors and non-painted bumper. I want it to look like it came from the factory like it Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 In the US, all the datsuns had number designations - 1200, 510, 620 etc... In japan the 1200 was a Sunny, the 510 was a bluebird - what did they call the 620? Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 maybe the 1600? Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I get my entire front end suspension replaced for Christmas minus the KYB's I already have. Sooooo tie rod ends, ball joints etc. anyone know of any links to good deals or part numbers so I can purchase locally? And as an update, Lola is finally in the garage after some major cleaning duty. She's been sitting under a tree on the side of the garage for about 8 months now.... uncovered :( got lots of sap and pine needles to clean up before I get to work Quote Link to comment

willz Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 New verses old... the new lines are shorter because... well they didn't have anything longer than 60" Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 So I picked up some MDF board: And here is some numbers for those of you wanting to make some of your own Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 It was a slow and dusty process... Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 But it started to come out looking like brand new. Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Picked up some body clips from ace hardware for less than $10 I recommend picking up around 20 clips at a minimum. Here they are pressed into the door for fitment Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Also bent some fuel line to go back to the cell, I honestly should have bought two more of the 1/4"x 60" tubing and just made them longer... hindsight 20/20 is a PITA I'm going to need to take them back off again clean and respray undercoating on this dirty section Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Before I can put the bed back on, I need to address the only rust on the entire truck... better to be one big rust hole, than a 100 tiny ones all over Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 After dinner, I'll take some pics of the new fuel cell spout from Jazz ( or however its spelled) Quote Link to comment
Mirrorimg Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Have you already made some mounts/straps for the cell? I see it sitting in place, but I take it you made the fuel lines to the rough area the tank is going to be at? Quote Link to comment
willz Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 The lines stop close to the shock mount, from there I'll be running hose down to the sump. heres some pics as promised of the new inlet this is shown with it mounted the wrong direction; and here it is sitting about where it will be mounted 1 Quote Link to comment

I see it sitting in place, but I take it you made the fuel lines to the rough area the tank is going to be at? Since I decided to go with straps, I wont be able to mount the tank until I have the bed on so that I will have proper clearance of the 45 degree filler neck. From the top of the neck, to the bottom of the fuel cell is roughly 12" I think... scratch that. ill need to go 're measure that again. Quote Link to comment
