shane_lxi Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 not really digging the front spoiler too much, but that should be a sick car when you get the rust all gone and stuff!! Nice find!! Cant wait to see the project!! Quote Link to comment
jrbd10 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 dude you have a sweet 710 like mine. Yours is a 1974 710 Sedan. You can tell its a Sedan only from 74 if the tail lights are more oval then a oval square thing. And the back window. The 710 coupe had a little marking thing and also it was smaller. Dude I SERIOUSLY cant wait to see what you do to it. Good Luck Quote Link to comment

DO NOT let anybody mess those flares up I havent been able to find them anywhere those are a piece of vintage history :D by the way stay NISSAN /DATSUN Clayton Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 It's going to be a challenge, but I see the body rust as the only real problem area. Nice car, all in all. Welcome to the Ratsun Community! Quote Link to comment

And, It's gotta be Nissan, all the way. Rotary conversions are cool, but I am a purist (and may catch flak for this): Nissan Parts for Nissan Cars, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment

shane_lxi Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well if you like the front spoiler that's all that matters :D. It's not bad, and maybe I'll like it more when the car is done :D. Anyway, that car is sick for sure! I'd love to get my hands on one if I could ever find one :P. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like the spoiler! The car is mean looking, the flares look awesome! I enjoy fixing rust, its like an art. When Hainz saw my 68 2 door he said I should throw it away because it had so much rust. Now he tells me not to drive it in the rain haha :D If your buddy doesn't do it get a welder and just do a little at a time while you drive it. Keep us updated. Quote Link to comment
