on the three mounting bolts, I had to drill out about 1/8th inch out to fit. here the before and after. Cutting the lip off to flush made for a really nice fit for the 210 tops . Just the height I wanted :D

Indeed! Just enjoying cruising in it. Took it up to mt hood a couple times, up the coast, all over really. Only thing that has broken was a small radiator leak and my coil took a shit. Woo!

So Saturday levi drove his red goon up to the Pass (hour of mountain highway). Ended up busting a wheel bearing and hitching a ride back to Eugene. See his thread for info there. http://nwdatsuns.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=47&start=100

The next day, we drove back up to fix it in my wagon. Made some pretty photos along the way. GoPro'd the whole thing.. haha

You'll like those. Well worth the money and effort.

Alrighty... So I sold the Wagon. New owner is a local friend who is going to be taking it to the next level. He's not on any forums but loves his Datsuns.

Now that this chapter is closed, Join me over at the SkeletonBonez build. Plan on driving it to Canby.
