I finally wrapped up the harness install. I had to fab an antisubmarine belt mount and a seat back support.
Feels nice and secure with a 5-point harness, especially compared to late 70's econobox seatbelts. The original 3-pointer is still installed and still works.
Last weekend I saw another '80 210. The 3rd one I've ever seen. Hard to believe mine used to look like this!
In other news....strange things are afoot in East Point...
I think Datsaniti is pretty much ready for the $2000 Challenge. I had an autocross planned Sunday to scrub in the new tires, but I don't want to risk anything happening on the way to/there/during at this point. I'm just going to heat cycle/scrub in the Ho Ho's on the street and spend Sunday polishing and detailing the paint.

FWIW, it warms my heart to see a seat brace on the back of that Butler
Paint is polished and waxed. Bottle is filled. Every detail is detailed. Budget is ready. Car is ready. I'm ready. Let's do this.
For those of us who saw this car in person last year, what a transformation. Best of luck in all three events at the Challenge.
Looking forward to having you as my dance partner. Its really, really come together. Itll be interesting to see how our similar but highly divergent builds compare this week.
Can't wait to see everyone, again and for the first time! Thanks y'all. I'm really excited for this year.
Looks AMAZING! If this thing doesn't make the cover...

May i suggest some fresh packaging tape on the corner lens?
In reply to Patrick :
Good call! I already refreshed the tail light lens tape.

Remember when Datsaniti was just two donor vehicles and a twinkle in Travis' eye? I was there, and am beyond stoked to see the completed project in a couple days!
Man this thing is still awesome, I have a soft spot for wagons in general but this is the first time I've ever seen a Datsun wagon that made me want too own one

My sentiments exactly last week. Except for the build book. Receipts took all day to organize .

And here in this corner wearing the blue and white stripped trunks......LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!
Well deserved! So happy for you.
Now it's time to make a mark with it!
What did it wind up weighing?
How will it be classified for Solo? EMod or can you sneak it into one of the street classes?
