oregonhomeboy541 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 So I guess I took my sweet time getting this build thread started, but here we go! I missed a couple parts but this should cover most of it. I found this 620 in 2011, fell in love at first sight. I had to have it. Here she is minutes after getting her home Got her for a steal with a bunch of extras. Her PO had got it for a project then said that he "couldn't keep it up," and got a camaro instead.

Kirden Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice, I really like the flares. Wish I had known about KCs before I got mine, but driving around with your knees in the air is what the cool kids do right? Do you have any specific plans for this truck? Quote Link to comment
oregonhomeboy541 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm not to sure, for a while there i actually had fooled myself into believing that this may be my only Datsun....Going to canby screwed that one up.. I'm thinking just something nice, smooth ride, nothing crazy fast, just a cruiser. I'm not really sure yet. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Haha, I think we have all been there. "I just want it to run well" *Joins Ratsun* "Maybe an LZ or SUs" *First show/read and epic build thread* "I want (insert high powered unobtainium engine)!" Nothing wrong with just driving it and enjoying it. So far my 620 has been the most fun out of any vehicle I have owned. Its slow, rough around the edges, and drinks gas like a v8, but its old and awesome :P 2 Quote Link to comment

oregonhomeboy541 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 So here are the rest, It started with only one panel, so I made two new ones from sheet metal, Center console is a .45cal ammo box, The shift knob is a bmx peg. And the most recent addition is these two 8in subs and 500w amp. 1 Quote Link to comment

oregonhomeboy541 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 So between finding this sludgy oil under my valve cover today.. And this, Oil in my raidiator. I don't know how it got there, gotta check the head. This could also answer why my coolant is disappearing. I'm pretty sure I've got my work cut out for me this summer. I'm ordering a gasket set and going to clean everything up. Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Good luck man, I blew a head gasket last week. Replaced it this weekend. it's not as bad as you think to change, Just gotta be careful! Quote Link to comment

oregonhomeboy541 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 So I started my head gasket change. Been super busy with work, but here we go. Pistons: Adam, Thanks for the heads up on that tool. Here it is in all of its glory Valves are real dirty. And finally the culprit, most likely why there is oil in my coolant...I think 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 looks like the culprit to me man! if you haven't reassembled it yet then make sure to get in there with some razor blades and clean off the head and block surface the best you can! And if you have a spare head bolt ask levi about making a tap to clean the head bolt threads 1 Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 yeah, we got some nifty little helpers for reassembling! Quote Link to comment
