I 'also' scored a 510 wagon!!! :)

[71DIMER]

Damm that was 4x4 status there :blink: I did find my before lowering pix & the rear of mine was the same as yours but my front was 1 inch lower..wierd. Anyways looks wayyy cooler. Oh & this year you can go to JCCS..it's in September !

 

That makes total sense Mark, the rears were the same and from what Abe said (PL521SSS) my strut assemblies were 1" taller than his and Hector's when we measured them...so must be the same as yours. Yeah it was totally Big Foot looking. I've been so happy with it lowered now that I have driven it everyday since (cause it has gas lol)! :)

I like the look of the Minilites!Imagine it another inch lower! What size tire is that?

The minilites are 13x6 running 175/50R13 tires! Actually that after front reading is with the minilites, so that's the max drop.

[JDM510]

I didn't take it as offensive at all, just funny.

[71DIMER]

Well I've had this for about a year now so I figured on cleaning it up...

 

Base color done:

[Pacific coast Datsun]

Ahh thats kid stuff ;) JK i like it. Will you be adding the silver stripe again that goes around the headlights ?

[71DIMER]

Nah...looks 'meaner' all blacked out...j/k.

 

Here it is with the silver stripe back...but the center section was looking a little bare bones

 

So...I was lucky enough to get my grubby hands on a uber-rare JDM Bluebird coupe emblem (borrowed from a friend in Japan)

 

So I made myself a decent copy of it! :)

 

Here's my blank made of high strenght/temp plastic:

 

Beginning the masking/painting:

 

Then came the detail painting:

 

Than finally gave it the center grille honorary spot. The grille came with a like new GL badge but that's not to my liking!

[Nice140Y]

First time I went through the whole thing... Man, I am jealous!

This is a nice goon project.

[Pacific coast Datsun]

Mi gusta the new emblem !

[71DIMER]

Nice140Y: Thanks man, I'm not anywhere near being satisfied with how the engine bay is but you only see it when the hood's open so there's plenty of time to get to it. :)

 

Pac: Thanks amigo, I've made a much nicer looking one that I will swap it out with once I get some more mounting hardware. :)

[71DIMER]

Hey that lot looks familiar, went to a mini meet there once :cool:

 

:P

[71DIMER]

Ok well I installed the JDM Bluebird grille then washed the goon.

After that my buddy Gustavo (Gus-Gus) came over brought over some wax he had and helped me wax it.

 

I ended up selling the Panasports since they were the wrong offset.

They rubbed on the front non flaired fender.

So for now I'm going with the Watanabe's.

 

Cleans up pretty good doesn't it? ;)

 

[JDM510]

damn i love it!!!!!! looks soo simple and clean i say leave it and have fun driving it

[Pacific coast Datsun]

I like the new shine !

[CranberryYumYum]

great color and awesome nose :)

 

shouldn't you have center caps??

[71DIMER]

shouldn't you have center caps??

The only place I've found them online wants $130 for them but they haven't gotten back to me if they'll fit so I'm not about so spend that much when they don't have a refund policy. :unsure:

 

Plus it is $130 JUST for centercaps...kind of steep for just caps!

[CranberryYumYum]

i understand. so get some z wheels :)

[71DIMER]

i understand. so get some z wheels :)

But I want some good looking wheels :cool:

[GUS-GUS]

Like the pictures Mario it came out clean. I'm about to buy some of that wax again it does the right job for just a quick two step process. :)

First the "Taco Taqueria Wagon" at the meet up now these awesome pics a wagon is sure tempting. :cool:

[jun]

This is such a sick wagon!! Nice job on the grille and repro badge. I miss the roof rack though! :)

Thanks Jun, no worries I just had to remove the roof rack inorder to wax the roof but it's back on.

Here's a pic of it at our recent Pleasonton all Japanese classic meetup.

 

 

I had access to a stock roof rack that I had picked up for my buddy Pacific Coast Datsun (Mark) but he ended up picking up another one so I sold the one I had to AZHitman, I just couldn't put holes in my intact roof. :P
