Dirttrack510 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Any new progress on this build??? :) Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not much until recently, but now the money is there and things are moving right along. Got all the important rust fixed up, the passenger area rust sealed, rear suspension off, a little bondo where necessary. A little more welding and sealing and we'll be painting it. Most of the updates are posted on NWD though. http://www.nwdatsuns.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=123&start=20 Quote Link to comment

ftlallday Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Updates! Project is in full swing now!Drivetrain lined up, working on suspension now.Picked this up, anyone looking for a rust free kc shell? Parts run! 280zx struts attained and beginning to get them ready for coilovers and the rest of suspension. 2 Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 you should use the 620 kc as your parts runner, I think it would prove to be mega good karma, instead of ripping it's heart out. But your choice Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I thought about that, but its been cut up pretty bad. More than I can fix. The motor hasn't ever run in the truck either so with my options weighed out, im good. I have a 720 to run parts :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 My cousin almost bought that truck. But he is scared of wires. Do I remember correctly in saying its a '77? Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 yep its a 77. Dude, may see if you wanna roll down with Adam one of these times and help with some wiring. For cash of course. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yea its always an option, just an issue of my days off from work. I may have to swing something. And I should probably talk to you about the wiring... over to NWD... 2 Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Got this ka, the motor sat for i'd say at least a year. Rings were stuck when I went to do a compression test. Got them freed up. And got a fair reading for the given circumstance. all within 10psi of each other so thats a good sign I suppose. Plan to rebuild it up after Canby. Just gotta get it running to make sure it makes it to Canby, right... 1 Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Working through the suspension things still as well as cleaning up and getting ready for assembly. Finishinng touches on the rear cross member are done. Went to pick it up last week. Man.. is it awesome.Moves pivot point up 1" from stock, swivel to self align, exhaust hole drilled out to 3 1/2". A friend who designed them swears by them. So we'll see how they are soon enough. Some cleaning.. 4 Quote Link to comment
