deejay Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I live in Washington got hit by a drunk driver hit and run and I'm looking for the rear half of a 70 510 4 door Pretty much from where the gas fill is back to rear bumper my trunk lid is ok just every thing else is gone Or is it just better worth parting it out and start fresh with a new shell I'm up for any ideas I'm just bummed for all what happened and loved the car Link to comment
Jester Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 That's a tough call not being able to see the damage from here. Maybe you could help us out a little. You may want to finish filling out your location with at least a state so we know were you are in reference to finding parts. Body parts on the east coast are a little tougher to find than the west coast. Welcome to Ratsun. Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 That really sucks :( Post lots of pictures of damage ... inside and out! Your skill level :) Your budget ... How hard and fast approximation the car was hit? (Mph) Post lots of pictures :) Link to comment
420n620 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 my search shows Mill Creek is just North of Seattle. If so, your better off finding a 510 rear section since 510's on the east coast are rare. Post up some pic's of your damaged 510, just maybe, someone might be able to help you out. Link to comment
fisch Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 There have been a couple rear end body grafts on Ratsun lately. Josh K did one, I'll post a link. Didn't Atom do one? Did Phil too? Finding those threads would give you an idea of what is involved with it. Look up member Atom Church and see if he can point you to his thread. Here is Josh K's http://community.ratsun.net/topic/24498-the-resurrection/page__st__160 Look at page 9. Link to comment
Jester Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Here is the link that FIsch was talking about. Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 If car is beyond your ability to fix , maybe find a another stripped out body and part whats left of your current car onto it. Link to comment
