Hey!  Never had a message "on my profile" before!!  Where are you located & what model Datsun?  I worked at Ignite Performance here in Arvada for 8 years, left last year.  Greg can't keep up with all of the needs/demands for Datsun work..............the Z cars have come out of the woodwork!  I think he is 6++ mo's out, from taking on any additional work.  All I can say, is you can't expect 1980's pricing for work, as many still do.  Those people are always disappointed & rarely bring their car in.  The Datsun being a true classic car these days & very few willing to work on them, the shop pickings are quite slim.  His shop rate is $135 hr & every car is different, so near impossible to quote repair costs.  A full resto on a Z car starts around $60k & can breach $100k, depending on what level of resto somebody is looking for!  Most people faint, hearing that!  A guy brought in a 1970 Series 1, was a nice & shiny painted car, had some cool mods.  He was willing to start at $80k for a full resto, but when they stripped & media blasted the body, it literally fell apart, had an incredible amount of horrible metal repairs, under layers of bondo!!  Greg told him an additional $30k in METAL WORK (yes, it was horribly rotted), so they called me to locate a better body shell.  We got very lucky & found a CA AZ 1970 rolling shell with clean title, missing most of the rare Ser 1 parts, for $3500 + a quick road trip to pick it up in IA!!  That body shell turned out to be pretty nice & straight, with only minor rust/rot.  

Call me any time evenings or weekends at 269-598-5836.  A tour of Ignite is killer cool!  Greg likely has 10-12 Z cars & a 510 in there at any given time!

Hey!  The 1972 Wagon tank?  Yes, once I can pull it & do a visual.  I will insist on me having it professionally cleaned for two reasons...........one, my peace of mind that I'm selling a good tank & two, if I ship a "dirty" tank & the carrier catches it, they will simply confiscate it.  I'm not willing to take that chance, as I would feel that I would have to reimburse you.  If it is cleaned (boiled out), there is typically no odor, thus exponentially less chance of having it stopped!

I can try to get to pulling it this weekend, then get it cleaned.

If the tank is good, I will want $100 for the tank + whatever the cleaning/boiling costs.  Let me know if that works for you!

TJ

Cool! 😎 I always suggest rebuilding ANY Datsun pull push switch, unless it was pulled from a running driving working vehicle............I get many of my parts that I sell from boxes of stuff, some out of parts cars, but rarely out of runner drivers!  Looks like a good solid truck!

As Mike stated, do some random posts, to get your participation #'s up & you should be able to contact others normally!  You have mine now, so let me know if you need anything else!

TJ

I do!  You can text me 269-598-5836 or email yenpit@hotmail.com.  I am in Denver CO

Are you missing the switches, so you need the canister that holds the bulb, the fiber optic, the switches AND the green illuminated knobs?  Or do you have some parts?

TJ

Thanks for trying to help Mike!! 😎

I also deleted some old private messages...............I know that the510realm has a maximum, so I routinely delete those!

CJG in brief, what are you looking for?  I assume Datsun parts..........but what in brief?  I do hand out my contact info, just want to be sure!  TJ

You need a set of the diff shims?  I like to send a PayPal invoice........what is your PayPal?

TJ

Yup that was a really good price! 😎
