Datsun 620 - SR20 _ 240SX front subframe swap [Part - 1]

[@LooseFab]

I just got my hands on a 620 pickup and I'm wanting to do something very similar on my channel. debating using a bmw subframe. way less cool but hopefully easier to find parts for. thanks for documenting this, tons of great info

[@NissanNut74]

Nice work! This 620 is going to drive so nice. When I had my 74 620 with 4 wheel drums, I would have loved just disc brakes! I had to manually adjust monthly. I can't believe I drove it daily for 5 years 1984-89. You are doing really nice work on this whole conversion. I hated the carbs!

[@PortysChopshop]

Thank you for that I appreciate it I've been trying to do everything as best I can! That's impressive to daily that thing for so long!! I couldn't stand it Haha 😂

Keep up the work mike. It’s kinda crazy everything your doing to this old truck.

[@kombeezy833]

Great update, a lot of inspiration to fabricate in your vids. Thanks for the motivation!

[@5t341tH]

Looking good. I’d kill for garage work space like that

[@DinasGarage]

Great Job Mike! I feel ya man I have made cuts that should have been done differently also. Glad to see you in the front of the truck. Keep up the great work!

[@PortysChopshop]

[@rory1473]

Nice work. About to dig into a similar project.

[@PortysChopshop]

Awesome! I remember psyching myself up to start my SR swap years ago and reading your forum posts! Glad to see you around man😁🤘

[@i2edeye]

@@PortysChopshop Yep, still around hacking on Datsuns :D

[@josephschmalzried7471]

We NEED a part 2

[@PortysChopshop]

🤔🤔 guess I'll have to make an update on the front end

[@wvarney1]

Great work! Why remove the alternator when you were gonna pull the engine anyhow? You like doing extra work like me?

[@PortysChopshop]

Hahaha didn't really think about that, was thinking it would be in the way of my cuts lol

[@wvarney1]

@@PortysChopshop I get it lol...I couldn't tell you how many times I've taken my 620s tires off at this point

[@driftgarage23]

Dude, ive been stuck with this. Might steal your ideas.

[@PortysChopshop]

🤘 glad this helped

[@driftgarage23]

If i find someone to do it. Wish you would do mine. I have no fab skills.

That thin sheet metal will not provide any structural support. Your frame is not structurally safe at all.

Pretty obvious when some one doesn't watch the whole thing yet still feels the need to comment 🫡

@@PortysChopshop I did watch the whole thing. Good luck!
