bustedknuckles Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 so my girlfriend found the car on cl went out looked at it then picked it up the next morning brought it home on a trailer. the breaks froze up when trying to get it off the trailer no big deal whole new break system is on the way already most of it will be in by morning. got new points cap rotor plugs wires coil fresh fluids yada yada... this thing is a total cream puff. oh and it had no exhaust on it but i welded one up already. this thing is a cream puff gutted the inside out no holes anyplace very and i mean very minimal surface rust took care of that then bedlined the floors from head to toe. so here is daisy the 72 goon (: and just so u know my girlfriend has put in just as much if not more work on this thing as i have already oh and i put in new weather stripping on all the doors and rear hatch Quote Link to comment

Then she decided it runs weird and she wants something newer. So her dad bought her a jeep and now it just fucking sits there. /rant Quote Link to comment

bustedknuckles Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 thanks guys yeah they are both keepers (: i will post some pictures of the exhaust soon this is her second datto. her first one is a 79 kc that i helped her put some serious work into. but the plans for the goon are to keep her as stock as possible slam it and a weber maybe side drafts if we can find them and the intake for the right price haha. we are just gonna buff out the paint it still has alot of shine in her all the trim is off and getting polished as well oh and did i mention we got the car for $1000 score! oh and the car is not going anyplace and if it does its going to go into my name haha but that is a looooooooong shot haha she is stoked on it Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Man where do you find a goon like that for 1k? CL? I imagine it would have been a race to buy it if that were the case. Did you just stumble on it in someones driveway or something? Quote Link to comment
bustedknuckles Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 so last night i took the dash out and filled the cracks in it sanded the excess filler off and just got done laying the fiberglass matting on it i will post some pics later tonight once im off work but it is looking damn good if i do say so myself Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 hey, nice score :thumbup: and the goon looks like you got a saweet deal. Quote Link to comment
screamer510 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Great car, and my wife is finally starting to see the "joy" of owning a Datsun too! My old 2 door was that same color, with original paint too. Sunshine yellow. Keep up the good work Dan Quote Link to comment
bustedknuckles Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 yeah datsuns are rad ive had the bug in my bonnet about them for 3 years now and my girlfriend has been into them for about a year now its kind of our thing haha her first was a 79 kc that i just got from her last night i bought abunch of parts for her goon so she gave me her truck now i own 3 ha. she bought an 04 outback with a rebuilt motor and so on and so far and she hates the thing she is waiting for the title to come in the mail and then she is gonna turn around and sell it and just mob her goon once it is fully road worthy. so do any of you know where to find a wooden slat roof rack for one of these things? it is a serious want any input is great or do u think i would be better off building one myself?
