Bling 22,352 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 HAH! I just came to post that. Nice work man, I can't even keep up with the updates, let alone that work rate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Mk1 4,364 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 No that's a bit harsh, I think it will be a sweet wee car just a tad over it. Look forward to throwing it back together and watching tv after work instead, fiddling in the weekends 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 31,145 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just my 2c, this car (along with every other 1200 I've ever seen) seems to have the axle offset a but more towards the drivers side. (It must have been a jigging fuck up, cos they all seem to have it) so before you declare the old girl ready for colour, make sure your wheels of choice are a happy fit on the drivers side first. There was a bit (might have been one of my talentless attempts at a repair) that used to rub on that side even with a 185/60/13 on those 5.5 inch Tridens. (Hence why I often ran those yucky R33 wheels) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris.QCR 10,243 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yeah my old wagon sat closer to drivers side too and from memory Nicks sedan did too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NickTheFox 73 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 My coupe is the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flauski 1,454 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Every 1200 I have owned (3 from quick memory test) had the drivers side rear wheel issue. Looks like this ol Datsun stalwart is getting the treatment she needed. That is some super fast work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Mk1 4,364 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Funny you all mention that, as I was finishing the passengers sill tonight and putting a sheet over the rear wheel I though wooo this one has heaps of room! The drivers outer clears but the inner I admit I hadn't checked. As Bart said, there were scuff marks on the inner. i seem to recall Escorts do the same, perhaps it's the joys of leaf springs or the lowering blockage of, which chooches them? i have a couple of leads on the chrome boot garnish, which I though would be the hardest to find of all the deluxe badges n attachments.

BobbyBreeze 367 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 B310 has the axle offset around 10mm too. Makes me think it is done for a reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mof 14,017 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 There must be a good reason, the samurai has both axles offset to the right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 31,145 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 It makes it a cunt to fit 185/60/13 in there. I'd weld up the locator holes in the spring pad and redrill them. I remembered today I think I have a b210 sway bar for it too Josh. They're a bit thicker. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Mk1 4,364 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I had been quietly looking out for one. Got new bushes the other day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Mk1 4,364 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 And mounts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 31,145 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 The front mount ones are different on the b210.s. If I still have that sway bar, I know where it will be. Right now that's hugely overgrown with massive thistle plants. But I'm slowly working my way in there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant 42,314 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm dying to see this all fresh and red! It'll look awesome with those gold wheels too. Best save ever. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
