Hi RW, mir geht es gut, danke der Nachfrage :) Wie geht es dir? Thanks for all the cheesy compliments :P I can not promise to keep up the pace in posting pics and progress updates. Now i need to order a lot of tools, parts and panels from 'murica, 'straya or some other shady ebay seller but my bank account says FU <_<
Hi there,
i did my first mod - bumper removal :) and checked the car from underneath. Almost all rubber parts and bushings are gone or in bad condition and i took some pictures of the worst rust spots. Everything seems fine on the mechanical side. Only one u joint has a little play, the drum brakes and some hard brake lines need some attention.
have a great day :thumbup:
@RW: Thanks ... yeah we all have to go through english courses in school, but english was a big part during my studies also. Interesting to see that foreign people learn German. Live is too short for that complicated language. :devil: I think 240zness is referring to the cars origin. It is imported from Greece which can explain the okay-ish state it is in now.
Thanks for your warm welcome. :hug: @King Rat: Good to know some of the small details that can give a hint of the production year. I will check the panel from the inside of the trunk. I will also start a build thread when i start working on the car (when it is becoming warmer) - but at first i have to fix my daily (broken generator) and my diesel Land Cruiser won't start either (gremlin in the pre-glow system is my guess) and the TÜV-inspection (2-year period) is overdue since a couple of months. :angel:
greetings from Germany
Hey there Datsun-lovers,
I am Toni from Cologne/Germany and i recently bought a factory black 1969ish L510 sedan with red interior (i love that combination). It is imported from Greece and comes with the small L13, drum brakes all around and obviously a lot of rust :) I bought it from the same guy Markus/DarkBlack bought his green 1979 620 from (it is a very small Datsun community in Germany). Plans so far? Fix the major rust holes and brakes, get some nice wheels, get it TÜV-inspected and have a blast driving this rust bucket.
cheers
