Thankful for a bit of normal. Only good thing to come out of this year to was time to work on my truck. Thankful for that, too. Take care🎅 Ok, so a well-deserved, highly anticipated New Year is upon us. What are your biggest aspirations for your DATSUN 2021? Put your wish list in writing so it's more than a thought or daydream. I hope & pray all the California Datsun meets & events happen this year so we can see what 2021 dreams came true! 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Fix the differential noise. Visit my grand kids in Calgary in my 710. Drive my Datsun around some. 3 Quote Link to comment
Str8jacket Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I would like to get time to get back to the 620, I have to finish the engine install. I'm thinking of some chassis mods to fit it in easier and re do the extractors, well the whole exhaust then. If the chassis mods work a rack and pinion should fit, then I have some 300zx 4 piston calipers there, d22 spindles. Also on the project list- finish cnc lathe and mill control retro fit, build cnc plasma table. Just have to fit this in between three kids and running 2 businesses, learning to program in C and python. Yep, sounds easy, wonder what I'm going to do by March? I will have to find another project. 3 Quote Link to comment

Angela Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) So far, so good. 2021 is here & I'm gonna push the positive. The sun will come up later today, I'll go out to the tent(s) my 521 & 510 wagon are parked under & kiss each hood ornament with gratitude & thank the Datsun God(s) for keeping me sane enough to make it through a truly f'd up year & know we're on to better times. I won't delude myself into thinking a calendar change will suddenly make everything right but it's a start. Sometimes that's all we need. My 521 benefited greatly from me being furloughed & got a rebuilt L20b, 5 speed transmission, new radiator upgrade, carpet kit, headliner, painted 521 dash (thanks Ted), installed my overrider/coffin handle bar to front bumper (Thx again Ted), New tail light housings & heater box boot (thx Jakemakes), powder-coated my steelies & heater box, rebuilt my heater, found & installed a set of original Datsun side mirrors & a few other nitpicky things I never had time to do. I spent hours & hours of down time just doing Datsun stuff & loved every minute. 2021 will be for my wagon. I plan on addressing any rust that might be popping up, treating/prepping the rattle can roof & installing the NOS vinyl top finally. I'd like to have the windows properly tinted to protect the not so new anymore interior restoration from a couple years ago & maybe have it lowered a bit. Big dream$ but why the hell not? I really like to hear what others are planning so please jump in & add your 2 cents 🙂 Edited January 1, 2021 by Angela 3 Quote Link to comment

Oh I have very big things coming for my truck in 2021, but 2020 was great for me as there was less traffic on the 91 freeway. Hope yours is better. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I can say with the certainty of experience, that there is no condition or position, good or bad, that you may find yourself in, in this universe, that is exempt from getting worse in the future. It's entropy as applied to the human condition. Order ---> to disorder. The best you can hope for is the rate of change from order to disorder is slow enough that 2021 seems like 2020. It's comes as no surprise then, that looking back from a future time we remember the past as 'the good old days.' Quote Link to comment
