Went to the local AM Coffee Car Thing this morning...........had the mandatory Starbucks Brew and chit chat. On the way back home on RT 108 I saw a 4 dr 510 and memories flashed back came to me. This '' DATSUN THING " all started with a 1972 4 DR 510 with an L20B and SU's ...... here are some old pics post-25833-14150820905827_thumb.jpg...I drove the crap out of that little wonder and yes blew it's engine/ sold it and the rest is history...;)

Today I took the car to Jiffy Lube for transmission and differential lube. I have read too many horror stories of those who have removed the drain plug, but could not remove the fill plug, so I decided to simply let them do it. No problems with the plugs, but the diff lube was really bad. It was probably the original lube.

I started getting it ready for bed for the winter. I picked up some fuel treatment and filled up the tank. I checked the antifreeze and found it to be insufficient, drained out a gallon and put in 1 gallon of non-diluted antifreeze. The car was running cool so I checked the thermostat and found that it had a cut out in it allowing coolant to by-pass it so I installed a new 180 thermostat. I took the car over to it’s winter home (10X20) storage unit. I put down a tarp on the floor and put the car in, not for the winter yet just to get it out of the way while I clean out my garage. I will be picking it up and installing my updated clock (quartz update by ZClocks) and working on some of the electrical gremlins. I would like to get those worked out before putting her to bed. When I do put her to bed she will not only be on a tarp and under her new BRE car cover she will sleep in a Car Jacket as well.

I've spent the last couple of weeks doing a total refurb on all the interior pieces of my '78. All the vinyl and plastic panels have been repaired, cleaned, and redyed black. I totally disassembled both seats plus the recliner and slider mechanisms and cleaned, relubed, and repainted. Then I dissassembled, cleaned, relubed, and repainted the steering column. Lastly, I repaired my badly cracked dash using the method shown here on the site and it turned out great. Now, if I can get the kids furniture out of my garage, I can finish up on the body work and maybe get the car in paint before I'm too old to drive.
