Jassifrass Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Junkyard hunting was fun for sure. It wasn't raining either which was nice. That place smelt oddly pleasant because of the lilac stuff everywhere like you said. And yea that 521 was off by it'self we though maybe you missed that one so we took some pictures for you :D AND I sold my stratus lastnight so we have some moolah to get the yellow one running!

skunk Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah its driving me nuts not haveing them on my truck. Tires just cost to much, and i have zero credit so i cant even get on one of them payment things. Quote Link to comment
what Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Did you find out why the floors were wet? My 521 did the same thing awhile back after i got new carpet. I was pissed. Turned out to be a slow leaking heater core. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah i still dont know, im guessing its the doors because its only really wet along the doors, i think i may need new door weather striping, and maybe even a new drives door, it dosnt seem to sit just right.

skunk Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) well it may be more then the doors, looks like theres some water coming in from by the head liner and windshield meet, and out of the 4'' speaker holes under the kick panels.:( im in over my head on this one, i dont even know what to do.not really sure where to start or how to fix this one. i have to put a new windshield in this weekend, so maybe i can fix that leak, i really hope this dosnt mean i have rust hiding were its leaking. this sucks im sick and my datsun is leaking:( Edited November 18, 2009 by skunktruckin Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 looks like theres some water coming in from by the head liner and windshield meet, and out of the 4'' speaker holes under the kick panels.:( It's likely that you have a leak at the top of the gasket somewhere that is running down into the A pillars and then down inside the kick panels. A new windshield gasket will probably take care of this, if there is no significant rust on the mounting lip. im in over my head on this one, i dont even know what to do.not really sure where to start or how to fix this one. i have to put a new windshield in this weekend, so maybe i can fix that leak, i really hope this dosnt mean i have rust hiding were its leaking.this suck im sick and my datsun is leaking:( Hope you feel better soon.

skunk Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 we may have to hold off on the windshield this weekend, i think im going to have to buy an all new windshield gasket. and what if it is all rusty? what would we do? just clean it up, or could there end up being more to it then that?

nukeday Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Tough to say why or where it's leaking until the old windshield is out. This is a precarious proposition since this is your daily driver. I've seen several really solid import trucks that still had a butt load of rust on the window mounting flanges. For that matter my '90 F-150 leaks somewhere at the top of the windshield, too. Part of the pleasure of owning an older rig in the Great Northwest. :blink: Have you called around at all for replacements? I had a brand new windshield and gasket put in a '78 Luv locally for about $160. It had some rust on the lip and the glass place put some sealant in it for me. It was worth paying them to do it, so if it leaked I could just take it back to them and not mess with it. Your call. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 well if thats the safer way to do it then i guess i should. Quote Link to comment
