Rhapakatui Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Finally got in touch with the guy! His name is Bill. He was super nice. I went down there and arrived just as he was driving up. Apparently, the one that's sitting off by itself was his first car. He's getting ready to retire and wants to restore his teenage dream cars. He got my letters and business cards and had just neglected to get back to me. He's a total purist. He wasn't sure if he should contact me because he didn't want to see any of his cars become teenage racecars. For now, he plans to keep them all because he needs the parts. He has my number now and I have his, He got on Ratsun at one point but really didn't see where the useful info was. I explained to him that it's a club, so the general area is just guys BSing about life. The real info is in the tech section, and the real resource is making friends who may have the part you need when you need it. I look forward to working with him some more. He says that if things go south, or when he gets done with the ones he plans to restore, I am first on the list. NONE WILL BE SCRAPPED! We had a nice conversation that left me wanting to be a better Datsun owner. STOKED! Quote Link to comment
ZackTheImpaler Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've been following this thread since before I owned a 411, and I was hoping you got in touch with him then. Now I'm even more stoked! Hopefully he doesn't just continue neglecting them though, or atleast makes his plethora of hard to find parts available Quote Link to comment

erichwaslike Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Put me second on that list for any Datsun car or parts, especially 410/411 stuffs. Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Rhapakatui, Is it time to hit up Bill again to see if he wants any of the Datsuns to go to good homes? Keith Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Last time I talked to him, he told me the neighbors were gonna call the cops if they saw anyone snooping around. I don't think he meant it as a threat to me. He had had some recent theft. I just figured I'd leave him alone for a while. Quote Link to comment
