Roughneck,
As a matter of fact, Les from www.classicdatsun.com located in Vista, CA. is making the mold for the flares just like the Sunny-1 picture (gray color, 22). Can't wait...so I can use bigger and wider wheels.. Cel

Also, take a look at the flares on the ChickenHawk. They are BRE 510 flares and they fit quite well and allow a pretty large wheel and tire. I'm in the process of putting them on my Coupe now.

Damn tens! Those flares are phat! Where did you get those? Also, what size exhaust are you running on that? Nice car.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound like I'm pissed off or anything.
The Chickenhawk belongs to ME! I really appreciate all attention it garners. I appreciate you, tensandtwenties, telling folks about it too. I also appreciate all of the work you have done on the NEW flares. But it's mine mine mine mine mine! Sorry to have a temper tantrum like that. I just wanted to clear the air. Oh, by the way, I believe I got the fiberglass BRE 510 style flares from Japco fiberglass or Neely(?) racing. It's been several years since I did those and my memory isn't what it used to be. For those of you in the states, Dodge Omnis had really big steel flares stock and aren't too hard to install. That is what the car has on it now. If I remember correctly, which I probably won't, I'm running a 2.5" exhaust through an Outlaw (or some such Flowmaster ripoff) muffler and a Supertrapp spark arrestor with twenty discs. Also, I built the header. (Sorry, I have to brag about that every chance I get.) Tim p.s. If tensandtwenties beats me to the ownership explanation, I apologize for being a butt head.

Sorry about that dim, that was my mistake. I knew that was your car, I just typed in the wrong name. A thousand apologies. Anyway, thanks for the tip on the dodge omni flares. There are tons of those around here. i can probably find one abandoned somewhere. lol

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I was looking through the auto trader last night and found a guy who is parting out a 81 210 station wagon. He also has an A-12 and TWO A-14's. It's like twenty miles from here, but I can't wait to check it out. Any special parts I should get off this thing?If it has a manual trans, I'll definately get that, and also the radiator.

Like I said before, I'm not mad about the misunderstanding on ownership of the Chickenhawk. I just wanted to clear the issue up
As for the 210 wagon, I'd say if you can drag the whole thing home there are lots of parts on that you might want. First off, I would suggest the entire front suspension. You'll want everything: lower arms, steering knuckle, strut tube, T/C rod, brakes... everything from the crossmember out. This fits rather nicely and gets you bigger strut tubes and brakes. The rear axle would be a good plan too as it would give you bigger ring and pinion and bigger brakes. I have never done a crossmember swap, so I don't know if that will help you. I'm sure there are a plethora of other things you could canibalize, but I can't think of them just now. Once again, I'd say drag the whole thing home. You can view topic.
