TENDRIL Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) so i have a 1970 510 wagon..! WWAHHOOO :D Im third owner (and very proud of it) first one was and old asin dude, took care of it forever , then second was my buddy who moral of the story crashed it !!! ahhh here we are my buddy crashed it and jus forgot abot it fer a year and so the other day he said he had to get it out of his yard . the few options he had was a. tow it for free(donate) or b. trade it for a POS honda or C. sell it to me ahah so i talked him in to selling it to me ! i got it for $510 . Im asking if any body can advise me in my journy to the datsun world The main prob at hand is the front right end. "BODY DAMAGE" 1. Frame bent (the arm that holds the motor mount ) 2. inner wheel well 3.top frame arm the frame sits at a lean cause of the bend plz let me kno if i can do sumthing bout ths car as far as motor and trans. evry things great condition thas why i bought it . i fig. i can find parts of the front or an entire front end that nobody will miss . i can cut and weld wuteva need be. so if sombody has any strong frame clips or body parts let me know but he put a bunch of goodies in it so.. this is whats worth the $510 to me right now . l20b from a 1977 710 (100% re machined) . 280z tranz ithink? 5peed w/dog leg . brand new front and back racing shock/struts . brand new rims and tires both with maby 300 miles on them i really want this car to come thru , so i know what i put into it is what ill get ot of it. i want to post pics but still un sure??:o Edited December 13, 2009 by TENDRIL Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Alright...pics are comin...thats the first thing!:lol: The welding will be of the highest quality and reinforced right?:blink: I mean, cause the front suspension is no place for novice beads and lack of structure. Be patient man..the fine folks here on Ratsun will be all over this like no ones business. Any questions you got...someone here has already done it or something like it. Except for Bob3...he has no experience with any suspension work or frame mods...:lol: But really...you are in good company. Welcome aboard man...It sounds like you got yourself a great starting spot for a great little goon.:cool: Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 So i have sum pics up. luckly im very patient and a bit catious so .. im not worried about extra weight (steel reinforcement ) if it needs it, it gets it to insure the safty of the driver and passengers. i myself am not a welder but i have some resources.. that are skilled ive looked into bringing it to a certified shop but all i could come up with is I WANT TO DO IT lol live and learn not give others my expirence unless shared , anyways hope this helps .. also ther are some things that need to be replaced for the motor and they are on the way. i.e. radiator , alternator ,batt, fan blade,belt ,oil filter, fuel pump,dist cap. oil change (kinda smells like the oil is decomposing) not quite like gas . but same concepet like 2 month old apple juice smells like beer haha altho it has been sitting im hoping that the seals are not dried out Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 so was wondering if anybody knows the frame dimensions of a 1970 510 ,, and would it be crazy to suggest putting another class frontend on the 510 frame if it wer to match up just right .?! and if not what classes would match up?? might make the goon a mutt lol Quote Link to comment
