dimlight65 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks, it'll be much cooler when I actually find my car. Did you look behind the sofa... or the fridge? It's always in the last place you look. 2 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 L20b acquired and teardown started... Hope to open it up soon and see what the inside looks like... 2 Quote Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hmmmmm, this looks strangely familiar to my original plan. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hmmmmm, this looks strangely familiar to my original plan. Well, the L20b is usually sort of off limits for a 1200, since it's a little on the tall side and clearance is too tight. But... We are giving serious thought to spacing the crossmember down an inch off the frame... 1. Because baja car. 2. Because more engine room. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment

goes2fast Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 And... 3. Because there ain't no replacement for displacement! Yes there is, it's called a turbo! :rofl: Quote Link to comment

Yes there is, it's called a turbo! :rofl: Don't give these guys ideas. It's going to take 3 more years to finish the Baja turbo'd L20B 1200. That's too long and I have yet to see these guys finish a car. There's one car in their stable I'm waiting to see work get done to. At this pace... 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I have yet to see these guys finish a car. VG30E, Maxima power leather seats, big brakes, suspension work, etc Full race L18, BRE intake, dual Mikunis, full cage, etc Built L20b, 5 speed, 510 bumpers, ZG flares, Recaro seats, AC, etc. Z22, 280ZX trans, 240Z seats, fully redone interior, AC, nice suspension, bigger brakes, etc. Rebuilt L16 with SSS head and carbs, Nismo header, nice suspension, Volk wheels, big brakes, lot of rust repaired, etc. Lotus 7 kit car we built completely from the ground up... We've built 4 different engines for this car already... Oh, and in my "downtime" over the last 6-8 months we built an L18-5spd 521, a very fast and well handling '67 C10, did a full top to bottom restoration on a Jeep Wrangler, and just for grins built a hot rod Studebaker Avanti. And in between breaths I've done big brake upgrades, engine swaps, seat upgrades, etc on at least 20 Datsuns for friends. I only show you guys maybe 10% of what we build. So please don't give me a shit about not finishing one. B) 6 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 There's one car in their stable I'm waiting to see work get done to. At this pace... And in case you didn't notice, I sold my 510s just to get to your favorite car sooner. 2 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I wish that C10 was mine, that is the only full size pickup I would own, but at current prices not likely to happen. :crying: What color is that blue on the 521? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 What color is that blue on the 521? Chrysler Electric Blue. Same color we used on a '71 wagon build that Kelmo owns now. I wish that C10 was mine, that is the only full size pickup I would own, but at current prices not likely to happen. A lot of fun to build, and to drive. We basically did a full ground up resto on it too, including suspension mods, wheels, paint, all new interior, aftermarket gauges, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Is there a thread on that car? I don't think so. Maybe him having it was a secret? Oops. ^_^ I actually sold it to him as an unfinished project (did paint/body and engine swap, but needs interior and brakes), and I think maybe he wants to wait on a build thread until he's got more done on it. You know, so people don't nag him about the lack of progress. :cool: 2 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Who doesn't need more cowbell though? Apparently at least 7 threads so far... :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 About 20 is my count before I got told administration had enough cowbell. How can one ever have enough cowbell? 1 Quote Link to comment
