Very cool little car.
Glad you were inspired by my road trip.

I think the car needs some seriously blingin' wheels.

[Mattphi]

Put those silver wheels back on, those looked amazing.

[OG patina]

diggin the original patina on that ole girl

needs older style mirrors too i reckon, and some tidier seats and it'll be awesome. id be tempted to cage it out too, but thats just me. add bucket seats and work the motor some more and you'd have one hell of a sleeper

X2 on the other wheels, Post some more pics of her and do some more mods to her.

I love the drive you have in this project.

[P78]

in that last pic, it seems like u got it right

[X5X]

nice project, I like these wheels more that the silver ones

[OpelWagenGT]

I second the idea of some flashy wheels. It would contrast well with the crazy patina. I say you just repaint the faces of those meshies and polish the lips to a mirror.

Also you should keep the Datsun emblem on the front too many people take it off.

Have fun now, the lower quarter is through, wont take long til that whole car is done...old Japanese steel goes quick.

[C-Hutch]

You gotta keep it low all the time! Or at least stop admitting that you raise it up to drive places. I like it though. And the Enkei's look way better than the Rotas. The Rotas are almost too big looking for the car. I dig the big tire look and throwback style of the Enkei's.

The stock 510 struts were shortened 2.5" with MR2 adjustable KONI yellow inserts


4.5" coilover sleeves in the front and #225 QA1 springs front and rear ... . handles like a go cart,, looks like a sleeper ...
