72240z Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I would post in the for sale section with a price and pics Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Okay, so I bought a tape deck for my 810. Anyone know if the stock radio already has the hookups for the tape deck, even if the car wasn't bought with that option? Also, looking for recoomendations on stock replacement speakers. 3 of my 4 are blown. Mediocre quality for a mediocre price is fine with me. Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Junk yards Charge 5 bucks a speaker. Just gotta find the right size to fit your car. I think auto zone also has 10 dollar stock replacement speakers. And walmart also carries cheap crappy speakers Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Found a 810 in Nevada manual trans http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/3534568004.html Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 76? hm. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's probably a early 77 model made in 76 it's a sedan I'm texting the person now trying to get pictures I guess the body is pretty bad and interior. Person said if I get new interior and body it would be a good car but there's almost no parts around lol. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 So heres the pics The guy's name is Dustin he told me it has no title but has the bill of sale from his neighbor and was willing to let the car go for $450. Quote Link to comment
xlr8r Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I guess the body is pretty bad and interior. That qualifies as much more than "pretty bad". It's condition along with what looks like headlights on top makes me think it was used as a demo derby car. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah it was a lot worse when I got the pictures. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 So no one interested in the engine it starts & runs, I can give you the guy's number. Quote Link to comment
nismosilvia Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Na that engine looks like it was in a fire. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Oh the primered valve cover? The guy told me he threw away all the doors and hood because they were no good. I told him that was a bad idea because parts are hard to come by. Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Get him down to ~$350, buy it, part it. I don't see any signs of an engine fire. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Someone else would have to get it I'm 12hrs away from it. Quote Link to comment
nismosilvia Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I would give hive a few 12packs of beer for that shell that's it lol. Body parts are hard to find/interior but that's about it. 350 still a rip of I got mine for 500 a hellva deal but still Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hah! Someone from California complaining about cost. You'd be hard pressed to find a parts car for $500 around here. I've gone out of state to get mine many times. Even with the tow bill, it's cheaper than dealing with the assholes in this town. Asheville is the land of golden turds. Quote Link to comment
nismosilvia Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I hear Ashville NC is the Humboldt County of the east coast. I wouldn't mind checking it out one day. My 500dollar car isn't parts lol so I lucked out, although from the condition it was in when I first got it, it was very close to being a parts cars, Damn Humboldt rust. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 At least it's a 4 speed manual would be easy to convert a automatic 810 to manual keep the engine as a back up. The car could be brought back but would take time until you found all the parts. Quote Link to comment

I don't know what Humboldt County is. I've lived in Asheville all my life and watched it turn into to a wasteland of crusties, handlebar mustaches, ironic hip bastards, strip malls, "artists," etc. I mean it was always a quirky town, but now it's a strange commodoified, artificial contruct attempting to reflect that same quirky town. Basically, someone figured out how to make money off of it and ruined the damn thing. Rant over. But seriously, get it as a parts car. You can probably cursh it for like 200 and go from there.

nismosilvia Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lol come on you don't know what Humboldt County is. People from around the world know about it. I'll give you a hint its famous for a certain weed. Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I saw this earlier today & figured it looked familiar, but the pinstripes threw me off. It has the same ripple in the front bumper & small dent in the hood though, so it must be the same goon. Here's a couple photos of her. I've converted to rounds with HID's, put a 5spd in, and a few other things since I picked it up. GOOOOOOOOORGEOUS! LOVE THAT! Quote Link to comment
bloodontheapex Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I want to take the trim off my car and remove the black glue stuff underneath. What can I use on the goo stuff that won't hurt my paint? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Something like Goof-Off won't damage the paint, but it seems like at least some of the paint comes off with the goo no matter what you use. Like the paint has fused with the goo over the years? Quote Link to comment
