Patcon

Looks like a good start...

Looked at Moss, couldn't locate the Stag bottles...

Glad you got a response. That means at least you know you are working in the right direction. I would measure the thickness of the factory mirror base and source some metal in a similar thickness...

@Diseazd Guy, What rubber is on that white car? The tread is really interesting...

What did you buy? What is the plan? Start a thread in the 510 forum. We are blocking panels for paint for Cody's "Goon" currently

The car is on Copart. I have seen the auction there. It looks like the rear wheels arches are pretty rough so I would assume it has some heavy rust. I would say the engine is in it because the front would be much higher without it...but you're right you have no idea what is under the hood

It would be interesting to price out the pieces. I would be surprised if it was really way out of line. the pieces add up pretty quick. Here is the package contents : 2 Front Control Arm Bushings, 2 Front Sway Bar Mount Bushings, 8 Sway Bar End Link Bushings, 4 Tension Rod Bushings, 2 Rear Control Arm Bushings - Forward, 2 Rear Control Arm Bushings - Rear, 4 Spindle Pin Bushings, 2 Spindle Pins, 4 Spindle Pin Nuts, 4 Spindle Pin Rubber Washers and 1 aftermarket Urethane Mustache Bar Bushing Set.

This roof cut is from a 76 280z

You welcome. Every week or so browse through. You'll find one eventually

Tried to look at the brochure in an editor but not enough resolution to really tell how it installs. Glad you already bought it. I was gonna PM you to suggest you do that before someone undercut you. Most regulars here wouldn't but you never know who's "lurking"...

I just happen to have a roof panel lying around. This all you are going to have up front I believe. The three holes are for the base of the mirror. I am just guessing but I bet the base that is missing comes all the way forward and replaces the existing mirror base using the three mounting screws

That's a good call. My train of thought exactly. It does look like it's missing the base. Maybe something could be fabricated

Are both the overhead light and the glovebox light on the same fuse?

I am not sure this is correct but there is a plug on the harness for optional foglights. It was rarely used...

I agree on the crease and had the same thought. If I were going to cut them out later and with your skills I would have considered just remaking the outer wheel well to the quarter panel and not even use the Tabco wheel arch panels. It looks like the rust gave you about the right size for the flair.

That is a very cool light! I assume you would have to pull power around the edge of the roof from the other dome light

It sounds great, chirping third. I would leave it.

Glad you are back. Thank you for your service!

If I was guessing, you have a ground issue. Are you testing your bulbs hanging loose like that? Are you grounding them when testing? Pretty much all of these bulbs ground through the case they are mounted in. Do you have a multi meter to check that you have current coming in?

Rolling, as in down on it wheels. You're still both making better time than me...

The work looks great. I have some questions though. Someone correct me but I thought people that ran fender flairs and wider tires ended up cutting the wheel arches back or the tires will scrub the wheel arch. Is that correct? Also the body line crease on the car is pretty distinct on the front and rear of the quarter but if I remember right it pretty much disappears above the wheel arch

Ouch! That's why I thought creative shipping might be good. Ship it somewhere close and go get it outside of Germany or try to find someone who is traveling and have them pack them in their luggage...

What is making the music? Components?

I bought a closed combustion head out of Australia. It needs a little welding due to some minor corrosion but I am saving it for a build like this for Cody's car. Hopefully by the time I get it ready he will be mature enough for some added power. I thought I would build the lower end of a motor then get Rebello or Datsun Spirit to breathe on the head for me. What compression are you running? How are you handling the AC evaporator and blower?

I think you aught to make a build thread for it. I know I could use the pointers for Cody's car...
