Ok,
I went to look at the 1600 he has for sale too for parts. I can say this:
Guy is a dreamer, talks allot of crap and contradicts himself alot. Says one thing then says the opposite or something that makes his previous statement a lie. For example, he said to me in an email he would not take less than a grand for the car as that is what he had spent on the suspension and bushes alone. Then when I was there he said the car is exactly as it was when he repoed it from another guy who owed him money.
As for that 1200, the panelbeater working on my car who was with me at the time said many or the repairs are sub standard (to be very polite). The gaps in the doors and guards were all off. The strut towers had silicon or or similar smeared around the top seams.
He are some nice contradictions for you:
he says in the auction
has had panel work done and rust repairs all done professionally and in primer ready to paint.
He told us HE did the rust repairs and got the sills folded himself etc. He says he panels beats for work from home....
Not sure what constitutes professional?
Sitting on the original hub caps and crossply's it came from the factrory on and will supply the factory snow chains purchased with the car new.
He also said that to us when we were there. Then 10-15 minutes of him yaking later he said somebody offered him $650 cash for them, which he gladly accepted that night. Soo which statement is correct???
I say keep at it with your Datsun. 3.5-4k would pay for some very decent panel beating!
