LAYEDOUTB2K Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 nice. it reminds me a lot of my dads 4 door. same color and almost the exact same wheels. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 ... for hooks??? :cool: ya, I sure hope he's going to weld some hooks on there. Then he tie down some boxes on the roof and trunk lid. :mellow: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 That is one of my favorite colors of all time! Looks very shiny :D Oddly enough, I'm not a huge fan of the color, but I kind of had to paint it this color. It will grow on me I'm sure. Notice you shaved the side lights too :cool: Not so much "shaved" as "changed". ;) In two weeks it will have the JDM side markers. And emblems. And lights. And grill. And... mirrors going back on the fenders I hope? Most definitely! Just considering trying to find some new ones first. Mine are a bit pitted on the stems. They were used when I got them. If I could figure out how to take the damn things apart, I'd just get the stems rechromed. :D Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Oh, and on the fender mirror issue, I actually took the SSS mirrors off a few months back. I've been running the Deluxe mirrors since then. Those are the ones that are pitted. See this photo: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 These are some of the badges going on... Deluxe fender badge: Rear Deluxe badge (goes in place of the "510" badge under the taillight): The upper badge in that photo goes on now. I stripped the paint off the lower one because I want to get it chrome plated. They are supposed to be gold from the factory, but being the only gold badge on the car looks weird to me. So gold and black for now, chrome and black later. ;) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Got most of the trim back on today... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Got some more trim back on today. I think the only outside thing left is the rocker moldings. I'll get those on tomorrow... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Also picked up an old Dobi airdam and painted it to match. Will go on in a few weeks... Quote Link to comment
rusty510 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 looks great man. also i like the deluxe package rather than the sss that everyone does (not that its bad but good for a change). Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 looks great man. also i like the deluxe package rather than the sss that everyone does... That's pretty much why I did it. I see everyone put the SSS stuff on and no one using the Deluxe stuff. Of course that made it all A LOT harder to find. :P Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i grabbed a cool DeLuxe badge from a JY, dunno the origin, but its goin on the wagon :D where did you score the airdam? im thinking i should make a mold of mine before i totally destroy it. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 where did you score the airdam? It came off a 510 I bought a few years ago. The previous owner mounted it too low and when we took the car off the trailer, it cracked. I took it off and put it in storage and kinda forgot about it. I sold the car it was on a year ago, then when I was rooting through my parts stash for trim pieces for this car I "found" it. Did some major fiberglass repair and here we are... :D im thinking i should make a mold of mine before i totally destroy it.[/i If it's one of these, I would. No one makes them any more.

hang_510 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 i want to also add the AL pc to the dam, so it matches at the fenders better Quote Link to comment
