The Datsun is Ready to Race!

If you have followed my little Project Datsun build, then you can tell this thing has come a long way.  With the goal from the getgo to have a little toy racer that looked the part, we have gotten there.  The last few stages to the car were detailed oriented with rebuilding the AC box on the passenger side dash and the new radio mount.  Our fab shop custom did these in aluminum and then had them powdercoated in a textured black.  The original plastic parts were not usuable and these turned out perfect.  Even though we redid the original seats, we wanted a good race seat that would allow us to use 4pt harnesses but still have comfort for cruising.  The Cipher Auto seats and TeamTech harnesses dressed up the inside.  But the biggest addition was the Autopower bolt in 4pt roll bar.  We painted this cage to match the cars body before we installed it.  The shoulder belts will get wrapped around the bar shortly.  To other bits we added to the car were necessary…  With the HID kit in the stock light housings, the light had NO directions and was useless.  I learned that the BMW E30 lights were the same and picked up a set of these smoked projector lights off ebay.  Final touches were added to the rear with a sweet fart can.  The stock muffler was old, rusty, and how no noise.  We picked up this little universal muffler and gave the car some balls.  So stay tuned for a couple pics and video from upcoming track events before we sell this car off to the world!
