datsunfreak Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Can someone tell me if this is the stock setup for my 72? Springs look like they are (or used to be) yellow maybe? If so, those may be the old Suspension Techniques springs from Datsun Competiton/Nismo? But I also see yellow paint on a lot of other stuff too, so overspray from a previous repaint maybe? ^_^ Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 But everything looks fairly stock, so... Quote Link to comment
Rushin510 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 The car has never been yellow; just about every other color, though! ;) I think they were white, you know, when they had more paint than crust on them. Hehe. The sway bar is yellow, though. This is probably a long shot, but are there measurements or anything to know for sure? I live nowhere near any part store that might carry Datsun parts. Everything will be special order, I'm sure. I guess the thing that piqued my curiosity was the weld on the cup dealie that holds the spring. (I'm sorry, I know that sounds SO stupid. I don't know what it's called). Quote Link to comment
dr.feltersnatch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Can someone tell me if this is the stock setup for my 72? I can take better photos if need be.yes at this point i am pretty much convinced rust did come stock on these cars! Quote Link to comment

Rushin510 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Over the last couple days, I patched my driver's side inner fender and part of the fender support. I had my hubby weld the first portion, but I did the rest. Here are a few pics. The part my husband welded in for me. Needs a little finesse work, but it's a start. Here are the sections I did. I'm getting more comfortable welding this thin metal now. Since I've got the feel, I'm not putting holes in it anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment

Rushin510 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Lol! I'm with you, I don't like it much, either. Pretty fussy stuff. Quote Link to comment
