New Zealand Datsun Club

Aint it funny lisas owned a few datsuns now but still doesnt drive - (:oops: thats my bad - def learning in this one)

Picked her up out of the buy sell - is in very good nick and doesnt have the rust in the usual places that ive had on sunny's.
Only has a little in the bottom of the front guards and in the rear roof / pillar area.

A12 auto so shes the big block - been doing a bit of ratchet shifting on the auto for good launches from the lights

So far Ive done the Leads, Plugs, Coolant Flush etc, and a new oil pressure switch cos it was leaking (pretty sure most do)

Runs really well - next mish is to lower it and im doing something a little different with the standard wheels. (no widening this time)







Tried my 120y wheels on but got the mad rubs







Paint is ok havent done the big cut and polish yet. little crazy crack on the LR guard and the bonnet is super faded - need someone that keen to maybe spray bomb the bonnet with the http://www.NZDATSUN.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; logo or similar (like dattochriswagon's shed)

Soo - i got this to selling point but the WOF ran out and due to the roof rust couldnt get another one, and a few people were turning away due to the Automagicalness of awesome (will hopefully convert to manual if $$$ allow

Heres how it was a couple of weeks ago




















I then decided to hit the rust as it didnt look too bad from the outside - 2 patches in the roof and one in the front guard - then she be rust free again - as this one doesnt have ant of the usual boot rust that many a sunny has.





Started cutting - OH SHHH****T

The top part is the outer skin and the lower one is the inner - talk about the iceberg effect.







So the decision was made to fix it - id rather see this go to someone knowing that its genuinely rust free - dont want all that on the conscience etc and it means someone will get a good base to work with when it goes (too many projects yet again.





Almost done on this side - really big ups to Hamish Collison for getting stuck in, in the sub zero wind chill on sunday - you the man. Is also doing a stellar job on this so far as i would know where to start. Hopefully will be finished next weekend - ive got a colour match can etc. Also got all the manifold gaskets done - typical a series blown out the exhaust side.

With that rust fixed properly, it'd be well worth hanging on to this car. They run on the smell of an oily rag, and go and go and go and go and go etc. PLus they don't go fast enough to get you into trouble! lol

Ahh , my favourite model B310 and my favourite colour all in one...... do want

I'm sure Brocky would be keen on a trade for the C110

How much would you be looking for roughly once its all fixed up?

Unknown on what i want for it yet.

Bit of an update - finished the steel work - Hamish is coming back either tomorrow or during the week to sand back the surface filler and blow some paint on.

So stoked with how its coming up.









Bit of a tip out back atm - wrecked out a 260c sedan and a z32 300ZX - starting to dislike stripping cars and liking getting rusty / unloved ones and putting them back on the road.

Hamish is a bit of a metal magician Turning up good!

geussing that 300zx is a z31? not z32. does it have a spare steering wheel and windscreen?
