Bugeye Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks to a lead from a fellow ratsun member and my cousin, I was able to pick up my newest project, a 72 pl-521 this was fun to get on the trailer, it was sunk in the hills almost up to the front bumper, but she is home and she is safe and sound...and I got a hell of a deal on it. Anyways, I know you guys like pictures, but at this moment they are uploading to photobucket...so those will be here soon, and there are 36 of them:lol: Quote Link to comment

420n620 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 :drool: looks like a nice find, cant tell if it was originally gold, purple or red . so whats the story on it like how did you find it way out there in the boonies, whats the plans for it and how much denero did you shill out. I also just found a red 72 L16 and talk to the guy saturday for 300 firm, going after it this week. thank s for sharing the pics, looking forward to hear whats your plans. :cool: Quote Link to comment
Bugeye Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 well, conrad found it, he was buying some parts from the guy that i got it from, the original color appears to be a maroon color, She only cost me $200, and I had to fill my cousins truck up so another $65. As far as my plan for her, Im not yet sure...Im thinking of stuffing an L20 in her, but conrad is trying to get me to go KA with it. body is pretty much gonna be blasted down to bare metal and start from the frame up...im in no hurry to get her done, I have been wanting a 521 for a long time, and coulnd pass this up Quote Link to comment

dat521gatherer Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Interior pix! took the words right out of my mouth. thief!!:lol: btw mike thanks to you i have got on the freeway twice recently and when i got off i noticed my choke still on.:blink: go figure.:lol: nice score man. nothing wrong with putting a l20b in there. 521's rock! i noticed something on yours that i've never seen before. the wiper ??? uh wiper um? ok somebody school me on the nomiclature of the wiper part i'm thinking of. the part that holds the blade. it's not the arm's. are they called bows or something. anyway i'd like a closer look at those. i think they are original and am wondering if they have a L or r stamped on the front. i have my originals and they both have a l stamped on them so i'm wondering if i have 2 left sides. i dont know of any place that sells just the refills so people buy the bow/blade replacements and throw the originals away.

Bugeye Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i'd like a closer look at those. i think they are original and am wondering if they have a L or r stamped on the front I'll get some up close pics of those for you, when i take some pics of the inside Quote Link to comment

Bugeye Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dat521, I was looking at the wiper assembly this morning, the pass side is stamped with an L and the driver side doesnt have a stamp at all...I will get some pics of the inside when I get it cleaned out Quote Link to comment
