Hey everyone, thought i'd join up so i could share some of my rigs. I'm 20 from eastern Canada and have a 1971 Datsun 510 as well as a 1974 Datsun 620 pickup.
My 510, still a little to high for my liking, first pic is how it sits now, 2nd was before i lowered the front a little more. It's running on some 13x7 +0 wheels with (gag) 175/70/13s... They were on the wheels when i bought them so rode on them for this summer, plan to swap some lower aspect ratio ones on during the winter and build some rear coilovers for it like it did the fronts. Since just a basic height adjustable set would run me close to $2000 i cut the front strut tubes, used inserts from the rear of a Toyota MR2 and welded some perches on the tubes with coilover sleeves


and my 620, just picked it up bone stock but plan to do roughly the same thing as the 510, looking at some 15x8.5 -35 wheels from japan for it right now

I'll post up a build thread for the 510 here after i get off work!
