Scurrvy Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks, I'm about to order some lowering blocks and then figure out how to crank the torsion bars. Want all the low. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Here watch this video it is a 521 but it should give you enough information to re index your torsion bars. It is actually pretty easy. Make sure to wire brush all the threads and spray a good penetrating oil on the before starting to remove thing. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/63543-video-how-to-reindex/ Quote Link to comment

Scurrvy Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah they aren't cheap. Been looking around auto shops here. Have to fix that and get vacuum lines. Woo! Anyone know what grit sand paper I could use to sand the paint down to metal? 1 Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Removed the paint from the hood this weekend. Going to go with black plasti-dip for it I think, then maybe a hunter or olive green for the body when I get around to that. I sanded it first or attempted. So that didn't work well. The picture above has spray on aircraft stripper. This is after that was scraped off. Eh not so good. So I decided to go get a jug of the stuff. Boom, in action, stuff is wicked. Had to go grab a respirator. This was within five minutes of starting to put it on. Finally! I had to sand a little more...there are still a few red spots, but its nothing I can't get rid of before primer and such. I'm still a novice on body work, so bare with me if I make mistakes. Hoods are fairly cheap online in case I mess it up. 1 Quote Link to comment
poopypants720 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 How much was the jug of aircraft stripper... I've been told about the stuff in the past n would rather use it than sand n sand n sand.... 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 freaky510 had a jug of some pasty shit man. Slathered it on with a brush, waited, then went back with a scraper after a while and the paint literally fell off. Just gotta be patient. If you scrape it off while its still fresh or too soon its like nasty goop shit and sticks to everything. Wait till its barely damp n falls right off. easy clean up 1 Quote Link to comment
poopypants720 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Nice... Wonder what it does to bondo? 1 Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 it was 13 at advance. Yeah this all took about two hours because I didn't buy enough the first go around. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 It's call aircraft paint stripper. It's pretty cheap for how powerful it is. It will strip fiberglass but won't take bondo off as well as paint, a heavy wire wheel (grinder style) works best on bondo. Good looking 720, looks like a good start. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks! I'm going to mainly just get it or paint it myself, lower it to where it has an aggressive stance but still can be driven nearly anywhere. Since I've had it I was getting horrible gas mileage and it would back fire when ever it was shut off. So I cranked the idle down, (well backed it out, for it to go down.) Didn't help. Noticed a blue wire on the choke plug was cut so I just tied the choke plate open, OH MAN! What a difference that did. So it's quiet and doesn't sound like death anymore. I'm on the market for a ST wheel and hub combo, Mud flaps, mine say Nissan, but the lettering is worn off for the most part, and a Tan under dash tray to complete my dash. Also does anyone know if any stereo cd player wont fit. Like I know double din's will not. But are there any others like certain width or depth? Thanks for any help. But really I want a st wheel and hub. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Found some pictures of my OLD 720. I had in 2013. I miss it so much. The one I have now hasn't filled the void that one left, I may need to buy another one. 2 Quote Link to comment

Scurrvy Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I know where an early 80's model one is..but if it runs and stuff I have no idea. But it's the ones with the lights under the tailgate. I wish I could find a 510 in my area..but they are nonexistent. 1 Quote Link to comment
ericsb210 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 That would be a 1980 with an l20b...I need a front driveline out of one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scurrvy Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I had a huge hole in the driver side of my seat so I stuffed a throw pillow in it and got a seat cover to finally hide it. lol It was a purple-ish pink throw pillow. Anyone have a spare brown seat belt and buckle? Driver side has one out of a newer vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment

Scurrvy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Borla turbo muffler? Anyone know how the sound is? I have a flow master on it now, I'm thinking either get a glass-pack or something more noisy. Also going to get blocks soon, well maybe, right now I need to fix and oil leak and get some tires. Stock tire size is like 175/??/14 yeah? 1 Quote Link to comment
