New Zealand Datsun Club

Picked this up today

Reg / Wof $300.... my new work hack!




I will be honest, I think its the worst car I have ever driven.
The gearbox sounds like a washing machine on full spin...
Wheels & brakes squeak, it smells (bad), it shakes, rattles AND rolls.
C.V's knackered , water pump is leaking, its covered in rust kill but the rust is winning,
there is a short in the stereo that makes a red light on the dash come on randomly,
only 1 light bulb goes..etc.etc... you get the idea.

If it lasts me 3 months I would be happy, lol

I had one of those but Turbo. It was a horrible car.

does that mean the car was turbo or the faults were turbo,d and faster lol

Im thinking Demolition derby once ive had my way with it!

Got the rear end in last weekend so at least now I can roll it outside and get stuck into it



Cheers to Andy (z181200) for the Diff & Axles & Kitch for the leaf springs + bits to put it all together.



Kids are great to pose in front of rusty bits

Yeh, was pretty gutted... was doin alright till we came across that.

Ive got 1 mate tellin me its a show stopper & to find another shell & another saying its not as bad as it looks

What do you guy's reckon?

Thats some nice rust you got there
Dont worry it happens to the best of us, I guess its just up to you on weather or not to carry on with it, All depends on how much time, work n money you are prepared to inject into the car.
I wasnt sure about mine when i found its rusty bits but has all worked out in the end.
Best of luck
