I'm new here and just bought my 1st 510 wagon

[MasterSchmo]

This is my first post here. I just bought a 68 wagon and stumbled in here doing some research. Great place! Thought I would throw some photos up to see what you guys think. So... meet Eleanor!

 

 

She is a bit rough around the edges but the body is straight. There is some rust around the fenders and the floor pans look like swiss cheese.

 

 

 

The engine is not currently running though i'm confident it will. I have only had her home 2 days and she does turn over. The previous owner botched up the ignition so I need to go through it still.

 

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas where I should take this project? I'm leaning towards a budget resto with some mild performance mods.

looks like a great start :D

 

Welcome to Ratsun :cool:

Hey nice to see another 68 goon on here! Congrats on the score and welcome to Ratsun.

Oh and btw, incase you haven't figured it out yet, we all LOVE (read: NEED) pictures, as mundane as they may be, the more pics the better around here!!!

 

I vote for a resto but keeping it stock.

I think i saw that one too on some news classified right?

[MasterSchmo]

Thanks for the great welcome and all the great comments. I found the car on the local KSL classifieds here in Utah awhile back and initially had trouble getting in contact with the owner. You can find a little back story and some more pictures here and here and going forward I hope to have updates on progress I have made.

Welcome. Eleanor looks like she was rode hard and put away wet, but should be fine with a little work. Great way to join the Datsun World. :thumbup:
