mrbigtanker Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Cool dog but its a 620 so now you drop points. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 There was -nothing- other than this truck when it came to Datsun up there. There was a 720 but the bed was literally half rusted away. Frame was about to crumble from all the rust. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Also did you not see the moose'? Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Went to Joeys house and picked up my finned valve cover & cap and Draynors old dogleg from his goon Quote Link to comment
Shawn Abbey Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Do you still have the mirrors? If so, I might be interested. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 One is rusty and the other is clean..get me a 6 pack of Blue Moon and they're yours. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Stopped by pick n pull on foster for shits n giggles on the way to Vancouver. Found bumperettes, a tailgate, 68 grill, headlight bezels, and blower motor cover. Then went up to vancouver to get an L18 runner that came with a 4spd. Kind of a bitch to move around with no hoist, but got the trans off and motor on the stand Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Score, I heard it was there, I also heard the windshield was delaminating, and from your photos, it looks to be true. Was the wiper motor there? Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Nice!!! Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yes Wayno the wiper motor was still there along with a Nikki fuel pump that seemed good. I tried to pull the wing window glass but said fuck it Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Mounted bumperettes and flipped 69 firebird tails. Attempted to degrease engine bay but I'm going to have to wire brush it with a drill and pressure wash it. Got tailgate on and aligned. Camper comes off tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Royal, I was going to get the bumperettes off the foster PNP, but when I went there, they were already gone. But I am glad you got them! to remove the wing window, remove the main window stop. Remove the door latch mechanism. Then remove the four window regulator screws, and let the main glass go all the way to the bottom of the door. Then remove four screws on the top front of the door frame, and the two bigger screws that hold the lower part of the main window run channel. Now the wing window frame assembly can be moved back, at the top, and then lowered slightly, to come out of the door frame channel, and finally, pulled out. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 The only part of the door latch mech you need to undo is the lower pivot bracket :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Got the camper off and mounted a mirror. Not exactly where I wanted it but one less hole in the door.. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 That looks like an MG mirror, a right fender mirror for an MGTD Got the camper off and mounted a mirror. Not exactly where I wanted it but one less hole in the door.. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yessir. Its a replica. I had these as fender mirrors on my last 521. Decided th8s time around door mirrors are the way to go. I want to mount the mirror one inch down, but i dont need another hole in the door. Too many already lol Quote Link to comment
BigBopper805 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mounted bumperettes and flipped 69 firebird tails. Attempted to degrease engine bay but I'm going to have to wire brush it with a drill and pressure wash it. Got tailgate on and aligned. Camper comes off tomorrow. If you decide you don't want to use those bumperettes i think they would look better on my Unwanted. :rolleyes: 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Screwing around a bit.. Still wondering the best way to get all this crap off. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well, went up to Vanc picknpull, and scored a 1 piece driveshaft from the 520 They had. Someone beat me to the tailgate and dashtop, no biggie though. Also got chrome door pulls. I was with Joey and I got him and another guy a bunch of 620 parts that were needed. Its nice that the 1 piece drive shaft is already a slip yoke since Im swapping a dogleg. Also got my L18 all cleaned up and painted. Pics coming soon as where Im living I have shitty phone service and cant post oics. Soon! Quote Link to comment
Loren O Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Are you still looking for a tailgate for your 521? I can probably find one for you. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I have one now, I just sold the extra to Joe. I always buy them when I see them and wrecking yards because someone always needs one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I got lucky today and found a 520 on craigslist for 200 bucks. Still had dash and many other things in it. Scored another drive shaft, tailgate, and my metal dash top! With the knobs and switches still in it. Good score these last couple days. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Finally got wifi. Oics time Motor before cleaning painted dash with the metal top. Not sure if I'll repaint the top black or leave it polished metal, but I know id regret it while driving 1 Quote Link to comment
