710Hippy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I owned a 1975 710 post and when i bought it i spent 25$ I saved it from the depths of a mans backyard where it sat for 20+ years had a blown L18 in it. My friend being into datsuns had two 620 trucks and one a parts truck for the time being had a perfect L20 and four days later and about 400$ it was on the road but still looked pretty bad and over time i started to get glass for it and then it was on the road as my daily driver with all the glass and functioning parts. i owned it for 3 years and i loved it best car i have owned. it was soon to get overhauled and i planned to park it for awhile and start making it what i want it to be first is a VG 30 swap not sure if i want it turbo or not with a 5sp tranny custom rearend so i can make LSD, full roll cage, custom fiberglass dash to match the origional but without the cracks, racing seats, lowering it. making it my own but unfortunatly that never happened some jackass pulled out in front of me and totaled the car i will post oics from the time i got it through all the work till time of death Quote Link to comment
