rollinswt's 1971 Datsun 521


I finally got the pictures of my truck up. It is a little rough right now, but thats my baby. After some TLC, it will be badass. Well, my truck is a 1971 Datsun 521 with the stock 1.6 Nissan motor. Despite the internals being stock, the motor has had a header (Hooker Super Comps), exhaust and a Weber carb added. It has been lowered, and has custom wheels (They say Shelby inside the wheel. They're pretty cool even though they are 14's). It had a visor over the window, but that got ripped off when it got stolen. I recovered the vehicle shortly before I came back to AZ. Right now it runs, but needs brake work badly. Future plans include 17 in. wheels, an engine swap (still researching, but right now I'm looking at the Nissan KA24DE/T), tonneau cover, wing, body kit, and other work.

man the best way to lower this is to convert it to a roter from a 80 to 90s truck. all bults on but the top control arm. some mod then you can get a drop spindle
