1982 NISSAN Bluebird 910 SSS Hardtop Restoration


Shawn

Recommended Posts

This is a restoration we did just a few months ago and i posted it up on many forums so some may have seen it, I just recently found out about this site so i thought why not post it up here also. here is some backround

-owned it for over 20 years also is first car

-originally came with a z18e engine was swapped later with a LD20 

-originally a auto later converted to a 5spd manual 

 

This Hardtop model was imported everywhere but the in the US we only got a sedan model that came with a LD28 and L28 and was longer and also had a different frontage.so combined those two to make the first 910 Hardtop with a US frontage

we didnt have the tools at the time to take the drive-line out and it ended up falling out in the middle of the road
