this dent popped out!!! (i finally found a good thing about thin datsun steel!!!)
this dent didnt pop out....but door gaps are perfect and opens and shuts sweet
grabbed by the mini stockers...was 2 owner car, found service records books inside
just leaves and crap, 2 minutes with a vacuum and its like brand new!!!
nice and straight....sparkles!!!
nice arse!!!
Had a wof in Jan so i thought it couldn't be too bad?? could it???
so as soon as i got it home i pulled old carpet out, seats and front guards off. And....its the best condition datsun in all the usual spots i've seen for less than a shedload of cash.
Until i look underneath at front drivers chassis rail where front tension rod its welded. This had been damaged in the accident, but had the panelbeater next door to storage look over it for bent chassis etc and he agree's its not a big deal, its just limited to this small area. So apart from drivers door which is poked, from the front windscreen back doesn't need to be touched!!! interior is mint, and will not be touched apart from new carpet and new seatbelts
so plans are
stage 1. sandblast engine bay/underneath
repair damage to mount
new guards/bonnet/frontapron/drivers door/bumper
paint front
standard 1200 engine/5 speed
reg/wof
never aspired to owning a sedan and only went to buy a couple of parts off it but it was too cheap and too good not to grab, and it was only just around the corner from storage sheds!!! so along with the utes, i now have a sedan, and the need for another garage/carport!!!
stage 2. something to the engine bay that makes it go faster that doesn't cost thousands and doesn't mean i have to cut up body
(undecided as yet can you tell?? probably warm a15 with carbs)
something that makes the go faster engine bay stop...along with the rest of the car. Probably b310 sunny struts which are in shed.
unless i s13 the original struts. Depends on engine choice i spose
