My Pearl Blue 1969 510 build


Recommended Posts

I started out posting new threads under various topics when ever I did something new and soon realized this was not the ideal way of documenting my build.  Duh!  I'm not going to write a novel regarding every turn I take with the build but rather post pictures of the different states of existence she's in with some commentary.  I've got a crap load of after market goodies and I'll list it all once she's almost done.  PM me and I'll give you alist off line regarding which way I went with a particular area.

 

First day in my driveway.

This is when I started to fully strip and inspect her for rust.

Techno Toy Tuning (T3) Coilovers (comes with camber plates) with 280zx struts and hubs package, they supplied it all.  I've got a Datsport DIY rear x-member and T3 rear coilovers.  She's got all four wheels on but we need to put the fenders on and check clearance.  The told the fab guy to roll the front and rear fenders before paint in anticipation of my offset, etc, but he forgot.  Since no engine or rear diff is in, the stance is kinda funky, not picture worthy.  As soon as the fab guys are finished with all I’m having them do, I’ll get the stance right and post more pictures.

 

Thank for all the comments!

 

 

 

 

 

Nice project!
I see you are running a Datsport front suspension. What struts are you using with that setup?

So are you in Grapevine? And is this your shop? Want to paint some more Datsuns?   ^_^

 

Yes, I live in Grapevine.  Nah, not my shop.  I'm sure he'd love to get your business but he's not cheap.  Send me a PM and I'll give you his contact information if you're serious.

I have had the car back from the paint and body shop for several weeks now but it's been way too hot lately for me to get motivated.  This morning was nice so I decided to assemble my rear adjustable x-member, and rear disc brakes.  Next up is the Wolf Creek CV Joints.
