Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Just a quick thank you to Michael Spreadbury for helping me navigate my 1600 to SR20DE swap! I would guess that I'm about as excessive compulsive as most of your clients or maybe just a little more. This is my second 68 Datsun SPL-311. My family bought it for me for Christmas. Had my first car bought for me by my dad in 1975 for my highschool graduation gift and had it until 1999 when a drunk driver hit it five times and tried to run me over when I got out. Totaled it to say the least. I was unhurt some how even though I saw the hood of the 70's Cadillac under me as I dove for a homes front porch. At this time my car is just about done with the frame modifications and almost ready for powder coating. The body work starts next week. I'm putting 16x7 Konig rewind rims with BF Goodrich G-Force SP Comp-2 205/55ZR16 front and 245/50ZR16 in the back (0 offset). Wheel wells will be modified to fit for fit and looks. New big brakes from Spriso and everything else I could get from them! I am lucky enough to have free access to a local German repair shop for my engine work and my frame and body work is taking place at Visual FX in Saint Augustine, FL. For those of you that are local to this area drop on bye to see there amazing shop and work.
Thanks Michael for making this easier then I could have hoped for!

I have a thread here that will show all the progress as it comes along. http://www.311s.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.ph ... 0f3241df0c
It cracked me up reading my thank you from last year Michael, things are taking way longer then I planned but life gets in the way sometimes. When I started this project I had no idea how far I was going to go with it, This car will be beautiful in a few more weeks.
