Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door

I've been looking at ordering door panels from Tree-Ausawa as well, for the exact same reason. It looks like they do nice work, are you happy with the quality? Excellent job on the speaker installation! Thanks. I really like the door panels. They are the correct size with all the big holes cut and ...

Door Cards and Front Speaker Install

Way back, I built speaker mount plates for the front speakers in the doors. Once I picked out my speakers, I added additional threaded inserts (not shown) that fit the speakers. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczPr6dtcY9N4wljfX-JrZzYxCBzMEowFH4IFbNrXlKJZDJ7GoHmbKORbaAVfD58UK_iKSEiuqNVN3xu7n...

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door

Thanks everyone for the kudos. I'm pretty happy with it and hope it stays looking tight and smooth. I've never done a console before so will see how it goes. Really nice work on that console, looks awesome. What did you use the cover the rear of it, is that a piece of ABS? How did you attach the shi...

Center Console

Original center consoles are expensive, hard to find, and would most likely not fit my modified tunnel. I drew up a center console with a small front pocket, a shift boot, seat heater switches, power port, and a couple of big cup holders. I have a friend with an NC router and we cut the top plate an...

Re: Am I in over my head? '70 2 door from scratch

I’m not a smoker but also was excited to clean up and ‘restore’ my rear ashtrays. Such a throwback. Mine mostly had gum in them. At least the kids who rode in the back weren’t smokers ;)

Re: 72 Ultra Orange - Bucket List Restomod

How long is the harness to the ECU? Could it go under the passenger seat? Having mine on the firewall is not too visible but I would have mounted it under the glove box if I did not put all of my relays and fuses there. I’d hate to give up the glove box

Rush, when I did my cable I could not figure out how to re-dimple the housing so I used set screws: https://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.p ... 93#p280593

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door

Those clips are neat, never seen them. Progress! I saw them 'forever' ago while looking for something else at DAPS and grabbed them knowing that I would forget where I saw them Nice work as usual Stu. Gooned, I think Rush also used those clips on hers. I just did my second set of 2 door the rubber ...

510 outer window squeegee seals belts and trim refresh

My outer squeegee rubbers were hard, brittle and mostly missing. Since I have them off for paint, I freshened them up. I bought the full set of squeegees from Datsport. Since the metal strip that holds the rubber to the trim is stapled on, I bought clips and dispenser from Datsun & Auto Parts Su...

Nice progress. After seeing your transmission cover, I wish I would have made mine removeable.

Re: Am I in over my head? '70 2 door from scratch

Thanks for the paint info. I can ‘share a cart’ from Send Cut Send and you can order from there. It would be a shield and bracket to the booster. I can also send a .step file that you could modify as needed. https://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?p=295896#p295896 Mine is a bit further away from t...

Re: 72 Ultra Orange - Bucket List Restomod

Wow that looks great. I thought putting the SR20DE was a tight fit in some places but, wooo-weee, that turbo system is packed and stacked. Going to be a monster.
