TSKB310 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ken Blocks gymkhana MK2 Escort. The B310 would look crazy with a wide body (Rocket bunny?) like that. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 So TSKB310 stopped by today (aka Charles) with some goodies. :thumbup: We were talking projects recently, and since he wants to do more of a TS racecar thing (but he has chrome bumpers) and I want to do more of a slammed Japanese street car kind of vibe (but I has racecar fiberglass bumpers), we decided a trade was in order... ^_^ He also brought me that '79 lower valence that has the nifty mini-spook thing, and a square-eye JDM grill. :thumbup: Also some wheeling and dealing yielded a spare fender from his square-eye parts car... Not perfect, but a LOT better than mine... :thumbup: 5 Quote Link to comment
TSKB310 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Think that lower valence is going to look bitch'n if you do mount it over-top your current one. Funny thing, I always thought that fender looked like crap... Until I seen yours today, lol. 3 Quote Link to comment

TSKB310 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The car or the wheel? All of it. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 All of it. Damn... :blush: Looks like it needed a lot of work, but I'd love to have a Fairlady ZX that already had a pantera hatch conversion... 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Good. I have a hard time saying no to money. :rofl: so... might be the right wheels but he said they look like 13s. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 he said they look like 13s. Look like? Yes. Are? No. ^_^ Just measured them again to be 100% sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 but he said they look like 13s. Cast into the rear of the wheel it says... 14x7 SHELBY I would've sworn they were Appliance, but oh well... ^_^ Just one more reason for Tim to hate them... :P Decent lip for a 7" wheel. Not super deep, but respectable... Current plan is to paint the centers gold, then polish the lips... 3 Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Current plan is to ship them to DaBlist because painting the centers and polishing the lips is to much work... 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Current plan is to ship them to DaBlist because he's gonna find me a set of 14x8 D-slots for my 1200... Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Current plan is to ship them to DaBlist because he's gonna find me a set of 14x8 D-slots for my 1200... If only 1200's had 5x114.3 we could probably make that happen D-slots in 4x114.3 14x6 boring and easy 4x114.3 14x7 doable 4x114.3 14x8 I think would take your talents to find Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 If only 1200's had 5x114.3 You know this is actually a fairly easy thing to do, right? ^_^ But if I do it, it won't be for D-slots. It'll be for something like this. :cool: 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Also... D-slots in 4x114.3 14x6 boring and easy Have two sets now. D-slots in 4x114.3 14x7 doable Have one set now. D-slots in 4x114.3 14x8 I think would take your talents to find Never seen them in person except in 5 lug. Half tempted to try what vex210 did and get a set of 5 lug 14x8s and weld up the lug holes and redrill... 1 Quote Link to comment
