rxtoy Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 this place for the talky talky........................ http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23329 i mentioned ages ago i was looking for a cheap reliable daily........... somehow i ended up with this. will have to see how the fuel bill is before i know whether i failed completely. a nissan/datsun???? i know, what the fuck???? but its old and ugly and rare and thats what i like. just picked it up tonight, these are the trademe photo's. its only done 152000 km's and no, it hasn't been around the clock. the interior is mint, double bench seats and all, the exterior has got a few little dings and scratches but i'm quite happy to drive it round like it is. its also got a fresh wof. plans???? i bought it as a daily and i'm not going to be doing much to it til the stout is done, just a touch of lowering and some wheels. fuck, 6 stud wheels. what was i thinking. idiot. pajero's might cut it, whats the story with the special wheel nuts you need for them??? anyway, pics................. and the thing that actually let me consider the idea of owning a datsun 720 double cab in the first place................... thoughts?? ideas??? anyone know anything about 720 chassis's and how to lower them???? cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 excuse the night time photo's but 2" blocks are in and torsions wound down a bit. its a start anyway, still a fair way to come down before i'm happy though took the ugly loading thing (name????) off the back too, the wood will come out, just going to ditch it at work tomorrow and picked these up at the swapmeet on saturday, just a pair so far but if the 5 stud swap that Ueli's got me half convinced to do goes ahead it means i can do it one end at a time and still be on 18's all round (sorry Cam but you haven't got me convinced on 17's, maybe once i see these on it i'll decide if they're too big.). need a polish, any recommendations??? i've got a mothers power ball, might give them a burst with that over the weekend. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 this thing has been a fucking hassle. think i've finally got it sorted, after a water pump, a thermostat, a radiator flush, a new battery and a fuel filter. its been running pretty sweet the last few days though and i'm starting to enjoy it again. put the wheels on finally, makes me realise how much it needs to come down. damn i wish i could find another one of the 5 spoke ones, they definitly suit it. and yes sparkle, the pajero's aren't really for this. they'll do for now though and i should be able to make some money on them so meh, not a major. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
