Datsun 521

This is one of my earlier systems, so there are plenty of things that I’d like to change, but we can’t go back and fix everything as we learn. The idea here was to build a tube chassis that was stiff and still leave room for a standard sized human. Interestingly enough our idea worked…

The front spindles are from a 2wd Nissan Hardbody and the rear knuckles and axles are from the front of a 4wd Nissan Hardbody. We used the third-member out of an AWD Mitsubishi Eclipse and modified the Mitsu CVs to accept the stock Nissan axles.
