1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 So I saved my first datsun. It's a 74 with some sweet body work. I traded a totally gutted and rusty 86 pontiac catalina for it. It also has 13x7 Carroll Shelby Inc rims that are vector knockoffs. Any source for 235/50r13 tires? Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 1 wheel with tire off. Hard to read in pic but it says C.S.I then 2 "E" stamped in. 1 Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 The bad :( Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 This is going to be an extremely slow project since the wife told me that I have to finish the bathroom remodel that I haven't started yet before I can spend money on the datto. 2 Quote Link to comment

B210GX Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I like what( assuming) you did between the wheel opnings but the front is lacking IMO. Where the bumper is tied into the fender.. Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 She is as I found her. It's all gotta come off though so that I can kill the cancer. I just got her home 5hrs ago. Im going to flair the front some to match the back when it goes back together. Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ok I misunderstood, Good luck with the project. If you cant find it elsewhere look me up. Partswise Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Sweet, thanks. I'm sure it will be tons of work, but tons of fun Quote Link to comment
scooter stuff Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Damn! you've got some work to do. Hopefully they didn't screw it up too much by welding all that crap to the Datsun sheet metal. Quote Link to comment
Mikeystoy Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Got a parts car here? Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Some of the kit is tack welded, other parts have pop rivets. I'm going to strip all of the kit off, then cut and fix the rust in the car. Then I will start trying to replicate the kit as best as I can with a few changes. The kit it's self appears to be made from scrap metal or hvac duct sheet metal 1 Quote Link to comment
mahi2010bv Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 This looks like it could be fun Quote Link to comment
Raggleflaggle Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'd love for this to continue to be as pic heavy as it is so far. That is some awesome looking bodywork. If only I could replicate it... Quote Link to comment
1stdatsun Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Found the previous owner while trying to get a title. He was on the road in Colorado on his way home. He wife called him and he said that the car was stolen from storage around 2000-2001. I left my number and offered to return the car to him if he wanted it. His wife called him and said, he didn't know if they still had the title or if he would have to get a duplicate. He is supposed to call me tomorrow. We'll see what happens next. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nascarkeith Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I would like to see more as well. I just picked up an 80 B310 and do not like the safety bumpers. Interested in how you redo the kit. Quote Link to comment
