    Your last words were spot on... you gotta do sacrifices for the bigger picture. Nicely done.

    my spindles weren't thaaaat bad. first make sure you have the bolt that goes into the notch removed. Put your penatrant in through that hole, let it sit. Hit the pin with a dead blow (dead blow is critical) or press it while you work the hinge back and fourth. Once you get it to move one way hit it the other way and keep applying penetrating oil. Once its gone back and fourth a few times it should come out at lot easier. when reinstalling start with a new part and maybe wire brush the hole out really good.

      Oh of course that mid bolt was removed. These pins were just as hard to remove on my own car. Any car that’s seen rust / has lived in the North East is likely to have this issue. (Hence why they make the tool! Haha) I’d count yourself lucky, my man! But good luck to anyone attempting this job - it’d be nice of it was always that easy!

    Reusing a factory sway bar after spending 10K on T3 stuff is disappointing. :( ST Suspension makes an affordable upgrade.

    there are more datsuns with black minilites, overfenders, and fender mirrors than stock ones at this point...

      Nissan literally sold the over fenders to the general public so they could have them homologated for the Nissan race cars. So it has a Nissan part number..... And that's what "stock" part means. Your just hating
