LeX Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Goon is lookin good lex. How do the wheels look like from the side? they fit alright... just temp on there since they are for my skyline. Fronts rub on sharp turns on the inside and the rears poke out a little bit even with slightly pulled out fenders.. with a proper full they would fit fine on the back or some skinnier 205 50 15 tires Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just checking in with the goon squad. I have some serious surgery going on with the Ozgoon! I'm doing full replacements of both rear quarters. :blink: Wow, and welcome to page 100! Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Holy hell...I didn't think that wagon would need that. Looked so clean. Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Holy hell...I didn't think that wagon would need that. Looked so clean. Neither did I :) I found a lot of bondo in the sills and quarters. We're getting it back to square, and hope to have it paint-ready by the summer. Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Checking in... Finally joined Ratsun a month ago. I just went through this thread. 100 pages. Now my finger hurts! : ( Before I post my own wagons, I have one simple question: What ever happened to this car? It was really quite amazing! These are from Canby 2005. I have not seen it since.

Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wish there were more pics on how he got that maxima plenum into that engine bay, doesn't look as drastic as I thought someone would have to make it on a VG Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wish there were more pics on how he got that maxima plenum into that engine bay, doesn't look as drastic as I thought someone would have to make it on a VG Me too. I didn't appreciate what I was looking at back then. It is the cleanest VG intake in a 510 I have seen. The 200sx ones are nice but I don't care for the side entry. I have pathfinder intakes for mine which are better (to me) but still off to the side. I really like the symmetry of this one. Here are a couple more photos of the car. It had a 4-link rear too.

Can't wait for summer to see this thing done. Then I can take a can of gas and a match to my car. :lol: Quote Link to comment

Then I can take a can of gas and a match to my car. :lol: The car is at my buddy's shop in San Diego right now. I am doing the bulk of the work, but Smitty is making sure I don't crap in my hat along the way :) I've seen it done many times, but the wagon is a bit tricky because I'm replacing the dogleg along with the entire quarter. It didn't really need all that replaced, but once we figured out where the seams were, replacing it all seemed the most logical. If I ran various machines like you do, all I would have is scrap metal when I was done :) Quote Link to comment
johnbureezu Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looking fantastic John! Too bad you dont have a shot of your rear susp! Yeah, they didn't get that shot. It woulda been cool. It's the first time I did a 'studio' shoot. They photograph in complete darkness. Ps I always wondered about that orange wagon. Just the canby pics and car domain is all I know of. That sucks is bad ass withe the tubbed 4 link. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Steve Epperly in Oregon built the 4 link in that orange vg goon. Quote Link to comment
kevwal Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I have always been a 2 door guy but for some reason the wagons are pulling me in. I prefer a wagon over a 4 door. Nice work guys. I have a brother that was always into wagons and we just picked one up for him. One of the cleanest we ever got. Quote Link to comment
kevwal Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Sorry for the big pics. Didn't know they would come up that big.:blink: Quote Link to comment
