JakeWard Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 James, Skib, and Tom probably know a lot more about this car than I do.... Basically I wanted a daily driving 2 door. So what does one do? Call The510Keeper. Here are some pics. Sway bars mini-tubbed rear super fresh L16 5speed Front coilovers I just want to enjoy it before making plans that I can't follow through on. Learned my lesson on this car: Now hopefully older and wiser, I'll be planning out projects that don't have me scratching my head for days. - Jake As of right now the car is still up in Datsunville. I'm sure James or Skib will post something. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 On a side note Tom pulled his freashly L16 apart and realized it is a SSS L16 with flat tops and a 219 head. He will be using the 219 head on his fresh L18. The L16 will be getting a A87 soon and a 5 speed Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bye bye battery tray When your front apron is fucked, just saw it at the fender / front apron edge. Once the fender is removed then you can get to the pesty screws. Lookin like it is ready for sandblasting pulling the dash Quote Link to comment

Pennvalleydimer Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Sweet animation is that Maya that you use? Quote Link to comment
JakeWard Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yeah how'd you know? It was kinda lame because I had to render quickly, versus rendering for HD quality. Quote Link to comment
Pennvalleydimer Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have Maya and a few other 3d programs but I have not played with them for a while. So time consuming :confused: Quote Link to comment

JakeWard Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Went and bought some paint today. I always enjoy the suspense of people not telling what color they chose...... So, enjoy the suspense and stay tuned. PS. Say no to crunk juice. Quote Link to comment
