luke wrote:and guys, so far to date including initial cost of the car which was $3200 (with well hidden rust) i have only ticked up probably another $3500ish, incl new rims,

so around 6.7k for all rust done, and all thats left to do is panel and paint (still to decide on btw, wanting a dark blue or green but open to suggestions)

most of panel/filling/priming etc grandad does, and then wal to top coat it all, then it all back goes together! rubber kit and new floor mat also to purchase.

still not too bad and very under those horrendous yearly wages amounts you have spent :beer:

wow, how naive was i???? once wal gives me back my car im over 10k easily :deadhorse: :violin: . but its all worth it in the end :lol: :lol:

I'm well over 10K :oops: But hey, can you really put a price on a Datsun? Well, yeah, I guess, but you can't put a price on how much it means to have it :mrgreen:

So the question is asked again, How much is a mint original coupe worth?
