the510keeper Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 WOW, all I do is Datsuns right now. I told my house painting crew if I have to paint houses this winter they are all fired :) Getting a project build up and the shop and need things to leave. I took the JDM 4 door apart in January and sold the 280zx coilovers. Now finally upgrading to Troy's (510 parts outlet) set up. most expensive set up I have ever bought and I will see if they work as I hope they will. 6 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'd be curious how those compare. Lets hear a review after you put a few miles on em. 1 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Front end back together, now rear coilover time Yes not as low, save the oil pan Took her to The 510 parts outlet, troy aligned it for me. Also decided to do a bit more. I had been running 1/4 spacers to make up for the T3 control arms. (the control arms use a huge nut on the bottom) He did a little mill work to those nuts. ( that nut had been hitting the inside of the rim with out spacer). Drove to Reno and its load very load time for carpet. but what a comfy ride :) Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Finishing things I wanted to have done before Canby, but Canby is always a rush and something's have to b skipped to make the trip. We put a towel over the gapping tunnel hole for the 20 hour round trip drive to Canby and back. But it gets hot, and towel blows around. Then my engine guy glued fabric over the tunnel hole for Bluelake. That worked for being unfinished. Took the little birdie to Reno this last weekend and decided I'm done with the noise. Interior back out and now time for some fun made a template Redneck break Not to hard to do with some metal and basic tools Sanded the chassis saver and I'm not using chassis saver anymore, some areas just peeled up with out problem, very bad adhesion. Kinda funny cause the paint store dude said wire brush only. Zero Rust to the rescue Next step Lizard skin and carpet 6 Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ran through my ass to finish the carpet b4 BRE reunion, here are the pics Sanded the zero rust Applied Lizard skin only used a quart Had a carpet kit template I use a soldering iron to burn the holes in the carpet for seat brackets. I still have to modify the center conceal this is only half of it. but ran out of time Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 And this one little part consumed 6 hours but does complete more of the interior Steering column cover, hard part to find and I keep losing out on ebay as they seem to be gold used a 2 part epoxy to glue in the brass treaded studs, some one messed them up using sheetrock screws And this finishing part was broke I used an auto cover (nobody needs these) for downer parts The other half also needed attrition, broken plastic every where There were several steps in all this, glue wait for it to dry sand glue wait for it to dry sand etc Drywall mash tape to help with support RHD cars have a bigger hazard opening for the switch, and I don't have that switch, only a stock LHD switch, so I filled the slot Ta da Painted the ign switch ring Found this little bitch in the underside of my back seat, then killed her 5 Quote Link to comment
