willz Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Little update: All the wheels are on, haven't had time to find out why I can't crank my torsion bars down anymore and the frame is currently sitting on blocks to keep the fenders from sitting on the tires with the whole weight of the truck. I think it might be due to my shocks being stretched all the way out in front and the front end seems to be my only hang up on having 31's. My POA is to remove the shocks, see if I get any extra play. If not, it will be time to borrow my dads welder and build some upper and lower A arms with a custom shock/coil over setup. Basically a Mcphearson style suspension. And oics for your eyeball pleasure 1 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 To make things easier on myself, I might cheat a little and install some zg flares to give me some extra clearance. Quote Link to comment
Omelet720 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Do you have sway bars on this truck? I know they can bind and keep your suspension from drooping. Quote Link to comment

lazarus223 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Looks great, heres mines. I took another route. Quote Link to comment
willz Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Well, she's been sitting under the car port on the side of the house, untouched and almost forgotten for the last year or so. I happened to go through a thrift shop today and saw an old wood hotrod steering wheel and thought "hey, that looks cool and it's only $20. Holy crap! That'd look good on the datsun!" Project Lola will now continue Stay tuned 2 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Things I need: Weber carb and linkage 1978 turn signal 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 The linkage is basically just a bracket that allows you to reuse the stock throttle cable I have a spare - PM me Might also have a turn signal switch for you too I'll have to check Quote Link to comment
isomswim Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Digging this one up a little. How did you get the fuel cell linked up with the stock filler location or did you? Looking into one and like the mounting location but unsure about hooking up the filler neck. Quote Link to comment
willz Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Digging this one up a little. How did you get the fuel cell linked up with the stock filler location or did you? Looking into one and like the mounting location but unsure about hooking up the filler neck. Found a fuel hose that fits the stock filler tube and goes inside the tank. There is a tube that is hose clamped over both the inlet to the tank and the hose. Fits pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 The truck has been on the back burner for a while. But this thread is going to get resurrected soon 2 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Anybody have a working carb and linkage I could borrow for a while or buy? Gonna start moving the truck out of the carport today and start assembling her 1 Quote Link to comment

2wheel-lee Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 OK, I only went the last 5 pages and then the first couple....I just gave up. :) Need some recent pics! 1 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 She's been sitting in my carport for the last 2 years. Between my boat(s), house(s), owning a Land Rover as a daily driver and "adventure" vehicle and all the rest of the crap going on.... it's been hard to spend any time on her. But I blew the oil pump on the rover a month or so ago, replaced it before it really fucked up the motor and it's making some weird noises so I'm not driving it (obviously) so the need for transportation became an issue since my wife can't drive me around everywhere with her car (that I pay for). Sooooo Lola is gonna be a driver again! 1 Quote Link to comment
