Greased monkey Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Parts hunting is going nowhere fast. Plus having to upload photos ONE by ONE to photobucket (which is still not working for me) then copy each code One by One is really a pain in the ass. I am not going to be posting pictures anytime soon. I will be removing the the ugly rubbers in the rear bumper then sandblasting all the chrome off and welding up some scraps to make the bumper one nice smooth piece just like it was meant to be :) I will be doing the same treatment to the front Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Genuine Dash pad NOS emblems now I just need the rear and the center for the steering wheel Also picked up some wheels just not sure I can choose a "final" wheel! I guess it is wheel whore time? 2 Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Haha I almost bought those wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Haha I almost bought those wheels. Yeah I thought about it for a week and decided it'll be good motivation to see in the shop even though I have plans for other wheels :) Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's been awhile since I've had any real update. I can't find any paint stripper that actually strips paint and not just cash out of my pocket. I've tried sanding a bit and throwing more paint stripper to it and nothing. Started media blasting and compressor went down so I went to look for another one laying around and WALA! I found a couple little ones laying around the shop and will have them installed this week. I have been collecting parts for the 710 from everywhere around the world except here in Japan! Kinda though I'd have most of the stuff I need here but no luck. Got some NOS fuse panel and cover from Kuwait some emblems from Cali. The only thing I've been able to get here is wheels so I've been making good use if the opportunity :) I like the way these look I might do something like it Messing around with the ssr mesh :) Going to actually make 4 clock from the faces on "down time" Hopefully soon I can actually have some real updates on the build. Getting past a few projects in the factory and I should have some time in the next couple months on. 2 Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Better lighting. Debating if I will cycle thru these wheels or just use it as my garage art and weld them as part of my wheel wall I'm currently building. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've done some jobs with the wire but if you seen how the glass is on the 710 under the trim the glass is recessed into the body so the wire would have to do a 2 "magical" 90 degree turns to make it work. I guess it goes without saying but I am in search of a windshield :) 610s are the same way go invest in a set of cheap guitar strings use one of the 3 larger ones so it acts as a saw blade and cut into the sealent with a knife till you can get the guitar string threw then one person in the car one out of the car just gently saw away at the sealent it will come out in one piece next time 1 Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 While I hunt for all the hard to find parts (which seem to be EVERYTHING) I kill time by getting easy stuff like wheels :) 2 Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Nice! Following. Pretty cool to bring one from here back there and looks like a really clean starting point. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. I wish it was in a little better shape, a bunch of pieces are so brittle that I can't put them back on. I'm just gathering pieces for now and this week my compressor should finally be installed,the electrician just finished hooking up all the electronics and getting some new hoses and pipe installed so I can connect anywhere in the shop without needing a single 100 ft line. I hope I can find a bunch of goodies at nostalgic 2days at the end if the month for the build and make some connections :) Quote Link to comment
budsaipan Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I was going to say chamorro but wasn't sure since you were living there in japan. lol. Solid project going on here. Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Haha it's all good chelu I was just messing around :) Yeah grew up back and forth between Guam and Hawaii im from Santa Rita The Quintanilla and the wolfords in toto. I'm just waiting for all the plumbing to be connected on my compressor so I can start the media blasting and get this project moving again. In the mean time it's just parts hunting and tracking down all the things for the motor swap. Quote Link to comment

Scurrvy Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 How hard is it to find 6 lug banana spoke wheels over there? Quote Link to comment
Greased monkey Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 How hard is it to find 6 lug banana spoke wheels over there? You got a picture? I think you might have better luck posting in classifieds or the wheels forums, but If you are serious I don't mind helping out. I'm sure I can find a set while I go parts hunting Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 So... um.. I haven't been following this build at all. WTF. This is awesome. Got my eye on it now ;) 1 Quote Link to comment

Got my eye on it now ;) Thanks man slow progress but it's always moving. Finally got the electrical and plumbing all hooked up on the new compressor. I am able to continue the media blasting and move forward with the project. Still parts hunting (apparently I'm a shitty hunter) when it comes to 710 parts lol but I did manage to find another set if wheels in the meantime :) 5 Quote Link to comment
