The thing i **** about build threads...I always forget about them.Drive my car as a daily, of course...Went to Old school reunions "FEST" some photos i found.





ohh and i went RHD!


Just kiding this is a local wagon tat has IRS, and a custom fabbed RHD swap..Im trying to find parts for a rhd part. I need a steering box, or have to go to a rack and pinion out of a 240sx which would mean a ka24de inside the car also.

More pics of the IRS wagon

i like my music don't get me wrong. i just found a way to hide it. all i use it for is to hook my phone so all that is needed is an aux in cord. i cant wait to find a factory datsun Am radio. ill re wire it so it has an aux in input. and then my dash would look perfect.

Thanks for the nice comments guys! it really helps motivate me. I just bought a gift for my wagon.. Just have to wait for it to come.

Looks like you're doing a nice job so far. And you've got some good cars for inspiration. Keep it up!


p.s. I like your current wheels

Amazing wagon. I **** the look of modern stereos in older cars too,but it's going to be a necessary evil in my wagon.

Good looking build man, keep it up!

Plans were to buy blocks this summer and drop it about 4 inches....frame is 6 inches from the ground...I would get as close as i could to 6 inches eventually.

unfortunately they are building a house next door. and i ran over debris and popped both my passenger tires. so that cost $50 and is pushing my lowering project back.


and went on vacation to the coast of Washington. I love my state.

I feel like 13's with white letters give it that Original look... I'm really not a fan of painted on lettering or fake white walls.

And man do i wish i was in Australia so many rare parts for a 510. and you guys are a lot closer to Japan,

Unfortunately I white-lettered mine with a paint pen, still some old school tyres though :P

Australia sucks for parts man haha, our import laws are stupid even though there's more Jap stuff here than the US. New Zealand gets all the good stuff haha
