Dime Dave Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Well you don't have a 280ZX strut. That would be a vented rotor. I'm thinking maybe a 610 strut (the one with the smaller spring) or maybe B210 or 210? The '68-'73 510, '74-'75 B210 & '73 610 all used the same rotor. later 610 & 710 had the same rotor diameter with a different bolt circle. I really don't know what you have other than it is not a 280ZX strut. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Looks to me like the keeper was swapping parts and forgot about that. 1 Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 It's funny because when I first got it off the trailer it was sitting weird. I thought it was a liberal cuz it leaned left! 2 Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've been thinking of running for governor. My platform consists of only 1 agenda. Racetracks. We need a racetrack within 50 miles of every city. Imagine the jobs that will be created. And then we need more tech schools. More on fab and welding. Not everyone needs/ wants to go to college. Imagine CA the car Capitol of the world again. 4 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I had mismatched struts on my wagon. I think I determined one was from a 610. But both had round top hats. 610s may have had both styles over the years, and my determination could have been wrong as well, but I think B210 has won my vote. They had triangle tops.

earlyvws Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 So at this point I don't know what I have for struts. Going to have to look for those 280 zx ones I guess. There is a wanted ad on CL so I'm not the only one looking around here. Off to a pretty good start on the body parts. I don't know why but almost every car I have done this kind of work to has panels where the previous work consisted of bondo over dents. Dents that even the most basic skill could pop out. Same for these. Got more to go on them but this took all night to get to here. 4 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Joe your moving fast, you little republican you..lol :hug: I will find you some struts down south, I just bought a whole ground control kit with fast brakes and now I don't have to guess. As of right now thats what all my body panels look like. Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ray, thanks for the offer. Let me know if u find them. I've been very confused on this strut situation. If I want a setup like urs, what do I need exactly. Just 280zx spindles and everything else is new? Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 So that was a complete set up i purchased from a guy. Check crags list there is always some one selling a 280 strut kit. You can do it cheap or go all out the one I got for the Wagon is a over kill but I guess I will look cool.lol Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 So this is where this car Great progress man.....no BSing around :thumbup: I was going up to buy a different 510 from him but this one was more what I was looking for. I had trouble finding one like this. So my plan was to start buying some of the cool expensive parts now and find the 520 later. I started with the tail lights. I bought these weeks before the 510. Ironically they just got here. My goal is to have it bee a very Japanese car, not sure what that style would be called. But I am really liking how different the car can be. Just bought the rims. Hopefully they actually show up. Post pics when they do. I started working on the quarter panel but been side tracked getting a whole bunch of stuff sold. 2 Quote Link to comment
