At the top of web page, there is a link to a Datsun 510 drift car, dad got me one of those for my 21st in 1973, it was a 1970 (HBP 520H) 1300 I have some good memories of that car and yes it did drift, but we used to call it skidding in those days................

It\'s surprising how time slips away when you get into a forum isn\'t it?!!
so many different tangents to go off at.
Some great threads on that forum...
I liked this one...

Thats another hour gone, some great work on that car. Ive never seen so many braces on a car, he wouldnt need them if the welding was better.

Yeah, it\'s a bit of a mare isn\'t it. The suspension work is nice though, interested to read his take on the polybushes

Now somewhere in Ireland. Mr Bishi\'s project car.

I always gasp with amazement when I see these dropped-off-the-car back axles and suspensions in foreign lands. "That\'s the same design as mine I say to myself". Well of course they are, being from the same factory. Dooh.....
