New Zealand Datsun Club

yeah, im team gjt on trade me, he is getting his dad to take some pics of the inside, and I did mean the door skins were cheap, but forgot about the rust on the bottom of yours.
as a side note it really is a good shell, and a rusty door isnt the end of the world.

sweet awesome cheers mate, ill keep an eye on the auction and see what happens

ended up buying the door for 50 bucks so hopefully its all good. Will try organise some form of trip/shipping now is the plan. does anyone know a good place to get a car evaluated? I am trying to remove my old car off insurance on my personal loan and add the datto but atm because its not painted it would probably get evaluated at like 1k haha...trying to get it evaluated as if it was painted so i can add it as insurance and then ask the bank for some more monies for painting

One member of this club had a valuation from the club accepted by their insurance company. However I think it imprudent for us to be abusing this priveledge. Most likley worth more than $1k though.

Yeah its definately worth more then that, my problem is for it to get valuated at a decent price i need it painted, however to get it painted i need the bank to give me money

Was out doing getting abit of soda blasting done on the sedan today and having a chat with Mike about the sodablasting. He normally charges around $150 and hour however he is now thinking of letting people go out there and use all the equipment etc and do it yourself for $100 an hour. The sodablasting is really impressive stuff and doing it yourself could be pretty rewarding. I told him id post it up here to see if anyone is keen, started a post in general chat to see if any interest. His details are below if anyone wants to flick him a text otherwise ask me a question. Really good guy to chat to and check out the work he has done.

A12 has now been removed so acouple of photos of that happening..

Anyone on the club have an engine crane that I can borrow for a few weeks? and are they easy enough to transport in a large boot etc?

No Crane but an endless chain if you have a beam to lift out on. Easy to transport!

Got the crane from hayden so having a bit of fun with my week off. my trademe 4age engine mounts that are meant to bolt onto a b110 cross member...dont. So been playing round with a whole lot of stuff. Front end of the car all looks a bit dodge so wondering what sort of upgrades are easy to do and most of all pretty cheap? Have had a read of barts post about doing the s13 brake upgrade but also wondering what other things can be done, otherwise i will just look at chucking some new standard parts up there. any links any one can post would be good for me to read of or any info would love to hear.

Also wondering if anyone would be pretty decent with a weilder and getting these mounts, cross member and engine to all be friends.

Cheers
