ktm Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 looks amazing,,,,,, I am going to miss the "built" version tho :( I was just thinking the same. The built version had some serious character. Saying that, the finished version is gorgeous. I love the vibrancy. Damn, Datsun made cars with pornographic lines back in the day. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi there Ratsun folk, I am going to have an upholstery outfit look at the NL tomarrow for a quote on the interior, mainly the bench seat and door panels(although I could do the door panels without frills), what is the consensus on the colors and where they should be. I'm thinking red and black or just black? If red and black, what should go where? You can see the seat, what you guys think? Should the interior be red? Don't say white, I have to take a bath just to get in the mini, it's white. wayno Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 The dark sections of the original used to be red. If you don't like white....maybe grey and red. After you get their quote, you may consider checking with Ratdat3?...he's a local guy on here that is doing gcmustang's 411. ...edit... I just looked at another notification....gcmustang just posted this.... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/21662-new-score-3-cars/page__view__findpost__p__357583 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 lol@ steering wheel club It's red, it matches the upper half. So far nothing has been stolen, I have 4 vehicles with them. Hey mike, shouldn't the interior match the outside colors, the mini is white top and green body, the interior is white/offwhite with green piping and carpet. I don't know, thats why I'm asking everyone. wayno Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 You're probably right about it matching...but I think the grey would blend nice with both...if it's the right shade of gray...probably darker. Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Don't do the interior red / black. The exterior is already "severe" enough... I'd go with dove grey and charcoal. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Is the bottom of the inside of the door black to match the exterior? If it is I suggest gray with red accents. What are you doing with the kick panels & the package tray? I think the black on the outside should be equal on the inside (paint is what I mean). Two tone the inside cab paint to match the outside paint. The upholster with the grey & red accents. Top of the dash satin black to reduce glare & red face with a gray pin strippng to tie it all together. Just my 2 cents. This is definiately a work of art. Quote Link to comment
ktm Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Don't do the interior red / black. The exterior is already "severe" enough... I'd go with dove grey and charcoal. Agreed. The red is very vibrant and it would be too much if carried into the interior. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I couldn't beleave what I ran across today on craigslist, a mostly complete 1963 datsun 320, 4 speed on the column, and it is suppose to run, but he is worried about the brakes, which seemed to work when I tried them. The floor boards are solid, no rust. :D It all seems to be there except the box. I bought it. wayno 1 Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 You can NEVER have too many 320s......... ... :lol: Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Great find Wayno! You do not even have to change the bed on this one. It looks really clean. You keep buying these Datsun's and you are going to have to buy a warehouse to store & work on them! :lol: Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Arrrgh! That thing is CLEAN!!!! Nice work, Wayno!!! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Im went over to the guys house and gave him the rest of the money for the truck, he gave me the title, he's owned it since 1994, then he asked me if I wanted to here it run. Sure, why not. It started like it was a daily driver, I mean it ran GREAT! wayno Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm back, had to buy a new monitor, my old one was tired I guess, can you get tired after 3 years if your a monitor? How about it monitors? :lol: The only bad part is drivers side fender around the lower hinge next to the door, I'm not sure what was going on there, looked like fiberglass a little. :unsure: This guy had two of them both 4 spd. column shift, the one he is keeping has a bunch of awards/trophys. He told me that you can use a VW beetle(he thinks it was the beetle) windshield gasket to put the 320 windshield in,:rolleyes: have any 320 owners heard of this? As I said in the last post it started right up, all the guages and warning lights worked, I pushed the clutch in and even moved it, it has the stock E1 engine, and quite possibly has only 21,000 miles on it. :D He made it a flatbed because the PO had side swiped the box on something, that flat bed you see in the picture is the original box bottom, just raised 6" to a foot. I think I'll be able to drive it home after checking the rear brakes, the former daughters boyfriend had the rear drums off for some reason and had extra parts when finished. :( wayno Quote Link to comment
