Adam trying his best to not just rebuild this entire car is admirable.

I don’t know why watching you put that caltracs on was surprisingly entertaining. I think it was the back and fourth banter with professional race team mechanics and Adam’s rudnic way of trying. 😅

Adam being over zealous with the hammer Mike: "Ruddnik, Stop.." haha!

I like the difference between the before and before

This feels like the old days when you'd be working on the 240, just now there's race cars in the background 🤣 great stuff, keep it coming!!

Ok now I get why Adam surrounds himself with good mechanics, lol. Good job, though, bud.

I didn't want this video to end. Love this car

Final clip with Hughes was sick. Love having the FD guys in the compound. You should do more content with the FD drivers. They're all so fun and have great energy

With the plasma cutter, if you use a straight edge that can keep the nozzle about an 1/8th inch above what you're cutting, it works a lot better. Keep practicing, Fabrication is awesome.

I love the before and before comparison😁

"If rather do it wrong myself than pay somebody to do it properly" Is my lifelong motto

This is definitely one of my favorite build series ❤❤❤❤

Dylan Hughes is one of the last people I thought I’d see in an LZ video at the compound but now I want more lol.

I gotta say Adam i wasnt subscribed before....but after this series with this car and watching you work on it was amazing....this is the build that earned my sub.

This has been my favourite "build" if you will by far haha. Love the old school Japenese era!! And these leaf spring suspension issue has really helped me with my Datsun 120Y (B210 for you guys haha) build and I'm glad I don't have to break the bank getting a 3 or 4 link rear end! Thanks Adam and crew, much love from Australia :) !!!!

safe to assume that the best of 2022 part 2 video isnt going to happen

😂😂 The Before --> Before at 20:32 calling you out Mike!! Lol

needs to buy some viking shocks with studs on each end. will fit straight in with the holes in the caltrac spring saddle bracket underneath the diff. watching this was frustrating haha

I have a 1200 ute I imported from Japan and I'm so glad that a big creator is giving it the love it deserves!

Yo Adam watching you guys run that lathe was pretty scary ! You should always have at least 1/3 of the part clamped inside the chuck to avoid it flying out. Also your tool is out too far, dont be afriad to use the tailstock to help keep the part secure and run true ! Not to mention invest in a cutoff tool, Using a turning insert for a cutoff tool is innovative but not the best idea 😂A good set of verniers and micrometers will also help you with tolerances.

That Before/Before of the wheel hop there Mike haha!

I'm really enjoying this series on the Datsun👍 and Adam working on it himself is great to see

Adam kinda seems like a liability using power tools and equipment. But at least he is learning and growing confidence in his own abilities. Keep it up

Watching this bring me back to old Adam videos and it’s amazing

My s10 truck runs 5.80s on no prep on the street with just cal tracs, trz antiroll bar, and viking shocks on stock leafs with overloads removed...they work incredibly well

Love that this car is a straight driver not a full on build just making her right something to tinker with

So good having the old school jdm content. A kp starlet or ke corolla would be good to follow!

“Lathe it down” 😂😂 Come on Adam, you ‘turn’ things down on a lathe 👍

I really love the fabrication in your videos I’ve always worked jobs in machinery and it really shows me how far my knowledge could go.

Dude this is one of the best vids I’ve seen from you in a while. Feels like old times. I love it.

Datsuns are common here in Australia. Have a look at MADDAT they have plenty of parts for the 1200. Like there awesome s chassis crossmember conversion that I have in my 1200 ute

This is like watching me or any other average person work on a car 😂 it’s great

Graham making fun of the kids hammer sent me😂😂😂

Probably my favourite build on the channel

Graham’s guest appearance was awesome hahah. Nice video, good meknekin on the ole 1200 😂

I sincerely have you as an example to follow in this life, greetings.

Love this video has the old school vibes of adam in the garage at the house.

I love these little cars and feel in love with rotary engine when I was a teenager Puerto Rico race teen came to atco race way but still have not built one but it is on my list after finishing my current projects

I love watching Adam work on his cars😂

We called them tramp rods for some reason back in the 70s and 80s here in Australia 🇦🇺.

I really am enjoying this little series but it really hurts my soul 😢 as a classic car enthusiast and mechanic that leaf spring suspension is such a wild and strange concept to Adam and many of the others😅

that before & before comparison was sick!

I’m loving this new car and Adam doing things MOSTLY alone! Trying to best the shock on with the plate in the way, had me lmao!!!! I love the car and love the regular simple way of doing things!!!

Adam LZ Awesome Video I'm glad you guys fixed your Datsun 1200's Wheel hop problem and I can't wait to see more of the build

with a live axle, one of the shocks is supposed to be in front of the axel which helps dampen any axle wrap

Johan:”we forgot about it.” (We didn’t tell you so you wouldn’t break it.) 😂

Loved the Before and Before comparison 😅🤣

Watching the before and before footage shows a massive difference 😂

Dylan is such a rad dude an so underrated

There is a beauty to classic Datsun's. I'm new to the channel, and didn't realize you were in the FLA. Glad to see something good from my state.

these daily LZ uploads are giving me actual life

Cat tracks are run successfully in some no prep vehicles with well over 1000 hp. Slapper bars are so old school cool

Yeah that entertainment value was over 9000 😂 Loved this one

Been an rotary aussie drag racer love puerto rico these vids are mad!.🇦🇺🇵🇷

Cool to see a celebration with Matt Armstrong checking out the old gt3.

Wow! the before and before shot was incredible!

Idk if I’ve ever seen wheel hop from the inside of the wheel before, looks so much more violent.

Wow, I watched the whole process and I'm really happy that it worked out for you. On the other hand, according to my thorough calculations, if you had Superman fly in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation and change the effect of gravity on your wheel hop, it would have been easier and cheaper in the long run.

Couldn’t care less about the 4 rotor supra, or just about any of the cars on the channel these days, but an update on the musty old Datsun with a turbo2 swap? INSTANTLY clicking the video, hitting like and dropping a comment 😂

Happy to say i commented on the last video about installing cal-tracs for a period correct build! Hope you researched and took my recomendation (as an old school hot rod guy)

You will most likely get better traction if you cut the mounts and set the pinion angle correctly

Loving watching you do it wrong rather than paying someone. That u-bolt engagement is sketchy though. Get some longer u-bolts any medium duty truck spring shop can make you some.

When the dude at the lathe said we’ll just cut the bung off and cut the tube and reweld I felt so much better.

Instead of smashing on the bushing in the leaf spring, you can just put it in a press or bench vice and presto....! (Kinda fun watching a noob just learning the hard way, it's why I love favrication... the tricks and tips are seamingly endless when it comes to producing a component)

Hell yeah, looks like they made a world of difference 👍

Adam just throwing the word "shim" around like a madman lol

at 20:31 it's the before the mod and at 20:41 it says the before again, i think it needs to says "after" because, small editor mistake xd Keep up the good work adam, good video

👍🔧💪 Adam's determination to not only rebuild the entire car but also overcome challenges is truly admirable. His commitment to the project and the effort he puts into finding cost-effective solutions is impressive. It's intriguing to witness his dedication and problem-solving skills in action. This video sparks my curiosity about his innovative approaches and makes me wonder what other unique solutions he'll come up with. Keep up the great work, Adam! 🚗🛠👏

the right part for the wrong car works all the time with a layth good job adam, trac bars is what i said it needed

Graham is the best lol

Pretty cool to see how Adam was in school for engineering. “I’m pretty sure he dropped out to pursue KZfaq”. Yet here he is doing all the engineering things by trade.

From my perspective of how you took the video.. The hanger that you pulled out to press the bolt out looks like it can flip to the other side of the car and vice-versa and give you a few inches in length extra based on the way the tabs are sitting it looks like could be wrong but that's how it looks like from the video

All the Aussie and Kiwi rotary boys will be watching you build this one 😅 👌👍

Love how this was a " her and him project." Now it's just team build, lol

More Datsun content let’s go

Love watching people's descent into madness.

first video I've watched to the end. only because Im a jealous prick, now he's learning blue collar skills which we have to do to have nice things, well done Adam!

The before/after clip at the end just says before/before xD, but damn the difference is nuts! The Datsun looks like so much fun!

Adam hitting us with that before/before footage

this is my fav car in your line up

So refreshing seeing content like this

Adam i know you’ve had this compound for a while but damn it’s hitting me these machines n warehouse looks clean asffffff

Damn Adams looking good with the fresh trim.

Cool I really liked this video.. this is the fun part of building cars running into problems and using what you got and your imagination to fix it instead of having someone else do it for you or buying new parts specially on old cars like these!! 🙌🙌

You don’t “lathe it down”. Jesus 😂 It’s called turning. You turn it down 😂 And the tapping the part to get it true, that killed me. Use a damn indicator.

Haha great video man! Loved the way you showed the whole process even tho it wasn’t working out. Turned out to be a success!

This series is gonna be epic

Cuto coils and air bags 😂 its ok mike no judgement.

Im fairly impressed that Adam has a love for the older cars too. These days people just want new shyt... Hey, my nissan champ 1400 ute has the same suspension in the rear lol. Maybe I should add a brace but keep the stock a14 motor cause I aint got no money to throw in a 13b bridgeported motor

Hey Adam, thanks for dropping the hat man it's a real nice cut you got man that's the fresh shit ❤

We need a ghetto build series, you know it will be the most fun to drive and good content haha

we need more videos with dylan!

Doing it yourself wrong is always so much more entertaining then paying someone else to do it right.

We need to appreciate Imbiamba Jombes joke by the camera man at 3:50

Slapper bars were big here in Australia in the 1980s. Caltracs are the modern evolution.

Adam with the haircut 👌🏼

Love the before and before action 😂

20:32 I love the before and before comparison, such better.

Thought Fink was going to come from the heavens and tell you to BOC locker it hahahahaha!

"It took me awhile to find these because when I was talking to vargas I thought he said cow tracks" lmao! Good one.
