  • Datsun 710 build

    I've been building this Datsun since I was 15 and its still a work in progress, but I'm getting it painted in the next couple weeks. Anyways, here are a couple of pictures of it during the last couple of years. The car has a few modifications all around, the only problem is that I don't take very many pictures of what I get and then install.
    The car is a 1975 Datsun 710, they are getting kinda rare these days.
    Engine: 60k miles on it, stock l20b with dual 40mm weber sidedrafts, I installed these after I bought the car, 5 speed dogleg transmission, I plan on switching back to a stock l16 manifold with a weber 32/36 dgev in the next couple weeks


    Interior: I completely stripped it, and it now has seats from an '04 civic si, new carpet mats, which I will change out then completely refinish in black carpet. Stock dash, 12" alpine sub with 2 6x9 alpine speakers, and an alpine amp and deck. All of the sound system is located behind the seats (old picture of when I still had the automatic)



    Body: Stock, getting prepped for painting, small amount of rust and a couple dents here and there.





    Suspension and Wheels: I have 280zx struts with unknown coils in the front (adjustable) and unfortunately I'm sitting on leaf springs with 1.75" lowering blocks in the back
    My wheels are 15x8 Varrstoen v2 with falken 195/50 tires all around, but I plan on switching to stretched tires soon

            Nah...no clearcoat...WD40 and a scotchbite pad will do wonders for this car! Plus you can save $$$.

                Thanks everyone! And I was thinking about keeping it down to bare metal only, but a lot of people have been starting to do that lately so I'm thinking about going with a kind of blue, almost like the subaru's

                  Beautiful, that would be a nice color for it, or maybe a fire red.

                              That's a pretty bad ass Datsun. Nice choice on the EP3 seats.
                              The only thing lower than my standards is my truck.
