willz Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 picked this truck up a week ago for $1100... got 127k on the odometer, ran great, stoped great.... didnt look so great. and that was my 92' urs4 in the background that made close to 600whp (on a good day) It has since been sold and parked on a hill.... eventually rolling down into a pond and sunk like the boat it was Quote Link to comment

willz Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 i'd like to repaint the parts that need painting/body work, keeping it the original factory color... want to build the 620 version of this: basically if datsun had made a 620 gtr..... keep it fairly period correct Quote Link to comment
willz Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 So of course I had to mess with the front torsion bars yesterday, upgraded the bolts to the stronger grade 8 bolts and got them a few inches longer than stock and I repainted the grill, still need to soak the nuts on the upper eyelid grill thingy, dont want to break it 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is going to be an interesting project. Quote Link to comment

Super X Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Willz, that 620 looks awesome! Especially for that price. Although I must admit, I was a bit disappointed when I opened this thread. Though there was some B120/B122 content in here :hmm: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 We all need things... :cool: And I don't think Portland is the PNW; It's like 3 hours from the Puget Sound. Oh well, I just thought you were a lot closer. Quote Link to comment

Oh well, I just thought you were a lot closer. I thought the PNW was oregon, idaho and washington? it take me about 2-2 and a half hours to drive to seattle, i like the drive so if theres any events up in seattle, i'd probly be able to make them 1 Quote Link to comment

The area around the Puget sound is the Puget Northwest... There is an event at Golden Gardens this Saturday which is in north Seattle. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm guessing only the people close to Puget sound call it that....for most people, PNW is Pacific Northwest....which as mentioned is OR, ID, and WA 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm guessing only the people close to Puget sound call it that....for most people, PNW is Pacific Northwest....which as mentioned is OR, ID, and WA Ill accept the Pacific Northwest. Everyone wins... Though to stay on topic, Im hoping this build goes well. It would be interesting to see how youre going to adapt the GTR look to your truck. Quote Link to comment

willz Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 been a while since ive updated,spent st. patty's day in vegas with my family (mom's 50th birthday), blew a ton of money, had fun....so the truck has been taking the back burner as of the last week...BUTI have managed to start building new door panels and kick panels to accommodate my new 6.5" alpine speakers.bought a nice all black kenwood deck to throw down in the center console din, plan on using the factory tape deck location for some gauges, volt, air/fuel, probably make it all out of aluminum, make it niiiceee.....ordered a 10x10 of dynomat.... that stuff isnt as cheap as i remembered it being,going to do the floor and firewall, pull the headliner and install there and behind the bench seat, which is currently getting measured for a re-wrap and new foam.... hopefully get it done in some perforated leathersome 2" lowering blocks magically made their way into the rear end...... but i think i might flip the rear leaf springs and get whatever i can get out of whats already there, which looks like another inch at the very minimum, pictures to come soooooon Quote Link to comment
