SSCustomsWeb.com Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'ts been a long sad few weeks. I got into a decent fender bender with my baby. Damage Was not too bad but it was bad enough for my friggin insurance company to make it a total loss. I love this car. It is absolutely all original with the auto trans. Question Is should I sell it and buy another or should I fix it and keep it? I'm really hurting here. :( Link to comment

I assume it was total lossed cause your insurance went based on its Blu Book value.. That Sucks!!! But It looks salvageable! You should save it!! Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Fenders, grill, hood, rad support, rad. Maybe a water pump/fan and a front valance. Looks like it ran into a POS SUV with rear spare tire carrier. Link to comment
danfiveten Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 You see that 510, my dad fixed it and it was hit way worse in the front end. Fix it. 1 Link to comment
SSS510 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 gonna be hard to find a NICE set of 69 Fenders.... Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 gonna be hard to find a NICE set of 69 Fenders.... Well thats when you make them nice!! Will never be right. Original now goes out the window. Of you were to sell it I. That condition it's 700 at best. So keep it Link to comment
Aaron Datsun Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I can't see everything, but It looks like front grill, valence, radiator support, and passengers side fender will all need fixing, the drivers side fender doesn't look damaged, I vote fix it as well it may no longer be original, but it fixed up if you ever wanted to sell it would be more than you would get for a dinged up one. Just as long as the insurance company doesn't keep it and crush it. This I think is a very saveable 510, also my condolences I can only imagine how sad this makes you. Link to comment
SSCustomsWeb.com Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I guess its a keeper than, unless someone offers me something amazing. This car has everything, so its worth it. Original spare, rubber mat in the trunk with fiberboard seperator... Everything! Thanks for your condolences everyone, I'm sad but it would be even sadder to see this parted out or crushed. What are your thoughts on that 68 4dr posted up? Link to comment
NICKLE&DIME Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Bring her back!! Its all good, I have seen worse! still looks better than my bros car that was never wrecked! Link to comment

Burabuda Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 yeah every 510 not fixed is one less on the road :huh: we really don't have the luxury these days to not fix them :D Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 That sucks. Also notice from this picture, the front bumper did nothing... Kinda why I dont feel a need to have mine on. Link to comment
SSCustomsWeb.com Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Datsun 13, if you want it make me an offer. The car is in amazing condition, besides the damaged area, lol. It has everything and sports a rare auto trans for a 69. The damage is not that bad at all. Just cosmetic. Link to comment
SSCustomsWeb.com Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 If I keep it ill bring it back better than before. Only thing it is will have a Salvage title, but who cares. These aren't super expensive cars to worry about that stuff anyways. Link to comment
