Skib Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 So I picked up this 521 out in the BFE of Nevada a while ago... and started working on it the last few days. tossed out the nasty stock drums... and slapped on some beefy disks... some yota wheels... and some 3 in blocks for the rear...

Skib Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 ^ thanks. You going to buff it out or just leave it as it is. Iv already test buffed a spot, the paint will come out nicely. This is a 240z I brought back from the dead. It was so faded it almost looks white. and a little compound and a rag does wonders Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 both the dashes I have are missing the pading all together so I modded one to clean it up. started with this cut and re welded the ash tray hole smooth not perfect but much improved 1 Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Skib - I call dibs when you decide to sell this one. As you know I don't like them slammed. I think it's perfect now. Hit me up when the time comes! ;) Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 re doing all the dash parts and getting it back together. it got left out in the sun of NV for who knows how long and all the plastics turned to dust as soon as you touched them lol so I re pinned them with new plugs Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Are those "new" plugs as-in you pulled them from another harness or are those actually new? Ive been trying to find a source for connectors to complete a spare dash harness I have. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 thos are from another harness. you can get the 6 pin ones new but idk about the others Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Where do you get the new plugs from? Datsun 521 trucks seem to either be from the southwest, have less rust, but more damage on plastic and rubber parts, or from the northwest, and plastic and rubber is in better shape, but more metal is rusted.
