[shfty]

.

Do you have any website links for a new front fender?,,,, front grill? ...front apron/valence?... front or rear bumpers??? .... for a wagon?

 

....... I don't "need" another car,,, ,,, but if someone really wants it .... .. I could pick it up at the border if that's even legal ... ... it doesn't look too rusty

front fenders are in a warehouse in tj mexico and cost about 900 pesos each i think that comes out to 70 dollars before shipping but i think there are limited quantities let me talk to the guy that sells em

here is a link to some parts

let me dig around for some more but every body part is still availible you just have to look for parts and know some people

[shfty]

Pleeeeease dont v8 that car, its sweet as fuxk, I have an l series crossmember I could possibly hook you up with if you dont.

Its not set in stone sir but let me tell u that even finding an l series swap is hard if you have parts for l series i'll take em !! but shipping is a bitch

here are some pics of the rust and the cars general state

floors are rusty

heres my girlfriend checking out the rust :P

rusty cowling complete see through

rusty parts car

[Tristin]

Yeah that car is nice... even int hat condition. I would see if theres a way to part swap over the border. Both of you drive to the line and swap 710 body panels for L-Series parts... that would be a win win for everyone.

not a build log but i have some pics to share

new bulbs and old school eye lids

front signals

chin spoiler

rear lights

fender lights

new dash pad

just thought i would share tomorrow i will widen the front wheels and put the suspension on but still no clue on the motor

[Syncro]

you can get new front fender here for about 200 dollars ....grin

i would trade you for a ae86 or a 240 sx ......

do you mean a corolla gt? I'm tired of that douche bag term for those old corolla's, initial D does kick ass, but I don't go around calling my rx7 an fc because it sounds retarded.

[ggzilla]

I suppose you don't like anybody calling your Z an S30 ??? AE86 is just the chassis number, it's not a term that fanboys invented ...

[DAT510]

I call my RX-7 a FC... Cause there are 3 different bodys..

no I dont, a corolla GT is a TE72 in japan which you know as the 1980 Toyota corolla the AE86 chassis code is not a fan boy term invented by initial D i think your confusing it with the word HACHIROKU which is overly used as a term from initial D but this whole Initial D comment seems to be a couple years late. body codes are used to not mix up the body styles

Welcome to the site! The white car looks familiar - I think I've seen it somewhere before, when someone who was a teacher in Mexico posted a few pictures. Is that you?

 

I'm curious to see if people have any luck with picking up front panels in Mexico to spruce up their US 710's. I found some for my 710, but they had to come all the way from New Zealand. ...Mexico might be a more convenient option!

 

I tried to get parts on Mercadolibre, but couldn't figure out a way to pay the seller.

I have two Violets (non V8s)

[Will]

Take the two L-motors and stick them together with JB weld.

 

Presto! 4.0 V-8!

I just prefer model names and years to chassis numbers. around where I live people use chassis numbers and 2 things will happen, they confuse people, or they've got a barely a clue of what there talking about. suppose that may not be the case here, though.

[RedBanner]

Use both like bawses, I called my fd a fd, amd my fc a fc IF I was talking to car peeps, everyone else I said rx7, just to avoid explaining what the hell I was tal,ing about.

Yeah around here is pretty good. I think that if you have a love for your Datsun hobby you can't help but learn some stuff about them even if you still call your estate car a goon but really it's a WPL510. Chassis number/names are much more accurate.

yup same one i lost the info for that account so i made a new one and i will order some of the panels and post pics of them as soon as i get them so you can see the quality .

paying for them is kinda confusing and slightly shady but like i said let me get the parts and i will post some info
