jovial_cynic Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Do you have any pictures of the front end damage? Did it ever run while you owned it? I'll probably buy it from you, but I'd need a little bit more info. Link to comment
tdaaj Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 i bought it none running, the p.o. had sdaid it had blown a head gasket. the head had been taken off and lost before i got my hands on it. the block is pretty much siezed. it will need an engine, currently has a 4spd in it but could make an engine/5spd dogleg package also if interested.

INFAMOUS 510 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 if u can't sell it i will buy some parts off it ?? Link to comment
tdaaj Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 i won't be parting this one out. dan after you and kieth talked to me today about that truck, i realized i was pretty dumn for wanting to sell it. i hope there won't be any hard feelings. i'll be bringing it back down to my house soon.

dat521gatherer Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 no hard feelings at all, well maybe for the fist hour. there are many datsuns in the sea. actually i'm proud you want to keep one for once. i would just hate to see it trashed like some of the other rigs you've shown me. but if i know you i'd say you'll put a engine and eventually sell it later down the road. for much more ofcoarse. maybe you wont. i just about shit when i saw those tailgate chains w/sleeves and no rust!! and those door sills/scuff plates are the nicest i've ever seen. are you going to use that l16 you have? i was going to tell you to give back my wd-40 i sprayed on the hood hinge. ha ha:D my poor attempt at humor. i knew i should have paid off kieth to keep his mouth shut. pesky friends and peer pressure. did i hear you say you've parted out nicer ones? i cant wait to see those other ones you have on the way. good luck with that and if you need a hand let me know. your not as far out there in the woods as you think.

71-521 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 hey Ted...go get these: http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/285486673.html I'd get them but I don't have a dolly and I'll buy the hood off the one! Link to comment
tdaaj Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 i saw those, i have an aunt that doesn't live too far from there either. i'm going to call tomarrow. Link to comment
Jason Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I believe they're gone as of last night. Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 i'm proud you want to keep one for once. LOL!!!!! He said he bought mine to keep for himself. That lasted.....what....45min!!!! Damn that was too funny. He basically owned it for the 45min it took to tow it from my place to the swap meet! Oh wait...I think it took about 10 min for the guy to come over to him and ask to buy it. It's no wonder that Ted can't keep track of how many Datsun's he's owned!! You're my hero Ted!!!!! Well almost......when you actually have one you can drive...then you'll be my hero!!! :) Link to comment
tdaaj Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 well them being gone does work out for me. i didn't know if i had time to get them anyway. they were deffinatel;y worth grabbing though. especially now that i have a way to get 2 vehicles at once. mike, i just transfered the title to my long bed today, will have insurance tomarrow.

datsunaholic Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hopefully it will run longer than the last red 620 you tried driving... Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 That's great Ted! So I guess as of tomorrow, you're my hero :) I was just giving you a hard time. I really didn't mind you selling it like that...I did think it was funny! You did me a favor by getting it so quick....it made room for the NL!! Funny, I don't miss the 521 at all!! Although, I was thinking I had a good set of spare tail lights...as it turns out, they were on that rig :( I'm hoping we get to see you at Canby in a Datsun!! I wonder what happened to the guy that bought that 521? Link to comment
slodat Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 You guys make me feel great. I've purchased 5 cars in the past year. I've (almost) sold the 510 wagon, I sold the 200SX (thanks Mike), I parted the 4 door 510 and the remaining two are my keepers. Now, if I had room, I'd probably buy, swap and sell a ton of them.

tdaaj Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 mike i've been there too where i though i had some good parts only to remember later that i sold them to somebody with a vehicle also. my biggest problem is i'm not inventoring things so trying to keep track of everything in my little head here is getting harder. i swear i have datsun related information just popping out my ears. and honostly, i'm not sure i can remember how many datsuns i've got now or how many i've had total. let alone whjat i've got for parts or who wants what. not saying that i don't want to keep up with what every one is looking for, i just forget, because every one wants something and some things couldn't be aquired till later in the future. so if theres something some one has hinted towards me before, keep hinting so i can remember. i write it down most of the time but tend to lose over time the pieces of paper i write it down on. i know i've got a list of parts from about atleast 4 people on this forum alone.

mklotz70 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 You seem to have better luck actually selling stuff. I got to the point where I quit worrying about what everyone else wanted. It seemed a lot of the guys asking about parts wanted them free or so cheap it wasn't worth my time to even pull the part. It's easier for me to keep a part than give it away...especially when most of the time they want it shipped or held indefinitely until they happen to be in the area. Heck...I had one guy that told me he wanted to some one thing....then said he needed a second thing...so I told him he could have the second thing for free since he was buying the first. As soon as I told him the second thing was free, he ran right over and got it...he didn't bother to tell me he was not buying the first thing until I started to load them up.....I should have stuck to my guns and made him pay for the second item since he flaked on the first. Just to feel better...I sent the first item to the scrap yard :) That's fine....I learned a lesson, but that's not the only time crap like that has happened. Hopefully, you have a lot better luck than I do. On the opposite end of the spectrum....I posted about the z24 engs...'aholic came down that afternoon and got them! Now that's what I'm talking about!!! I almost thought about letting him have them for free just for coming down so quickly! I've always had very good dealings with you too Ted. So it's just a few out there that give me an bad attitude toward selling. I typically only part with something if I know I have at least two or 3 of them. :) Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 you've heard of mor's law where information or technology doubles every 2 years? you guys have hit what i like to call the datsun singularity.:D:D Link to comment
