metalmonkey47 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Nice!! if you think that's rough, you're off to a good start :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Lots of creature comforts and some grunt on the highway. .... and a goon too. Or as Datsun liked to call them... estate cars. Quote Link to comment
sandman126 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Nice!! if you think that's rough, you're off to a good start :thumbup: haha i just can't decide if i wanna leave it rat style or restore and repaint the rust Lots of creature comforts and some grunt on the highway. .... and a goon too. Or as Datsun liked to call them... estate cars. Seems like mostly everything works just needs some tlc, It's definitely nice having the inline 6 but i think i'll be putting a new heart in it soon(RB or SR possibly), and a 5 speed. Just gonna have to take an in-depth look at clutch pedal/pedal assembly Quote Link to comment
thatguy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 That's a head turner for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 hmmm a Z in disguise my choices would be - RB and 6spd - panasports - refresh the paint job - whatever TLC the interior needs Quote Link to comment

sandman126 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 hmmm a Z in disguise my choices would be - RB and 6spd - panasports - refresh the paint job - whatever TLC the interior needs Pretty close to what i had in mind actually, different wheels though. Definitely like the panasports though Nice find. Hang on to her as long as you can, she'll keep life interesting. Hopin so, definitley should be a fun project Quote Link to comment

ruckycharms Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 what'd you pay for this beauty? Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 any updates on the goon?? Quote Link to comment
twofouroh Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well just to keep it interesting, here's the '78 I just bought. Picking it up tomorrow. No dents, nice paint No rust, nice wheels. How about this cherry interior? I'll start my thread as soon as I get it home and take some pics. This would make an awesome RB26/AWD conversion.

yenpit Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 sandman, way cool Wagon! I assume they made manual trans 810's (??), so hopefully you can find the pedal set, but I would expect hard to find! The automatic 510's already had the pivot points & all for the clutch pedal, the pedal simply wasn't installed...........maybe the 810's were the same way? Great project!! Quote Link to comment
