skunks 510

[skunk]

well i didnt really think i would find one, but i guess the datsun gods were looking out for me.

pics suck its dark out iv been in the car all day, ill get more tomorrow.

 

 

its got a L20 with a 5 speed. i also picked up these along with it z su carbs on a 4cyl intake.

it was full of alot of parts ill clean them up and take some pics of them to i guess.

 

Im going to get new tires asap, get the timeing set, new belts, plugs, wires, battery and hopefully a electric dizzy along with new fluids in this weekend.

[Skib]

[sssr20det510]

I think you will like this better than a z

[skunk]

yeah it was a long day, had lunch at red robin with skib. drove around got lost a few times lol.

truck that i was towing it with overheated a few times on the way home.

i got all the parts out of the car and will start cleaning all of it first thing in the morning.

all and all it was a fun day,

[nukeday]

You are going to have waaaay too much fun with this. What are the plans?

[skunk]

well first things first, get it on the road. so iv got to put it back together. dash seats lights. get the timeing set.hook up those su carbs.new tires. New oil,water,plugs,wires. elec dizzy.battery blah blah blah

 

im going to need to put a headliner in and patch up a few holes here and there.but it is a datsun

 

as far as what i want to do, im going to start by upgradeing the brakes and suspension. not sure what route im going to go just yet, iv got some reading to do.

 

what id like to do is build a Ka24d from the ground up. But i want to run dual side draft carbs on it rather then the efi.

but thats a long way off.if i can even find a intake for the ka to run dual side draft carbs.

[sssr20det510]

Id go itb's over carbs but that's just me

[skunk]

i just love the way the dual 45 carbs sound. mikuni /weber what ever

[nukeday]

What's the status of it now? I know dislexicdime posted that he started it up the other day. Does it have a Weber or stock carb? Brakes ok? Clutch? Any of the electrics work?

 

I know it sounds sort of silly, but I wrote out an actual list/plan for my car. In order of what I thought was most important to least important. Already checked off some stuff, and it's a good feeling to look at the list and see things getting done. The front/back glass gaskets turned up high on the list, which I didn't expect, but otherwise, it's really helped me stay on course.

 

I've got an external box electronic dizzy here, let me know if you want it. It's not as pretty as a matchbox, but it should do the job.

[skunk]

yeah i need to make a list, it runs. i drove it off the trailer and into the drive way. its got the stock carb but not for long i want those su carbs on there.brake lights and turn sigs works. I think all the brake parts are new they have just been siting for some time, need to flush them out.

im going to really get into it in the morning ill start makeing a list then.

[skunk]

almost have all the grill and headlight parts cleand up, some of the parts are beat but will work for now.

found a 4 to 1 header in the trunk, really rusty. im trying to clean it up to see if it is still usable.

[78kingcab]

damnit, i broke 3 bolts of 4 takeing the hood off.

 

on my car tear down i broke all but 3 bolts :unsure: and that was the wwhole front end

[skunk]

Jessi cleaned up the hood, gave us a chance to try out a new rust converter.

Jessi also sanded and treated the 4-1 header

I got a new belt, battery cables and battery in.Also put new radiator hoses on.

then i straightened out the front bumper and got it on,it was bent up really good.

then i spent the rest of the day cleaning up the grill parts and head light parts

[The Dat-side]
