79 810 coupe rebuild

You wouldn't happen to have a functioning original radio or even a....dare I say it? Tape deck.

[Z-train]

The one radio i have is in a dash that is sold.Sorry-no tape deck

280-he's smoking his lunch.And besides,with a newborn the last thing you want is airbags.

 

No doubt, another reason I want one is to have back seats have room for my 7 month old and something I can take my time to fix up since parts are kinda hard to find. I just don't see $3500 there maybe if it had suspension, wheels, no rust and some engine add ons then maybe $2500 but as it is to me it looks like $1500 or less.

[Z-train]

Agreed.

You're in Oregon. Get a Volvo 240 or 740 Turbo wagon. It will be fun, safe, and cheap. A lot more safe than a Datsun wagon, at least. 240 had tons of reinforcement, crumple zones, designed not to kill you. 740 has that plus air bags. Later 240s (92ish+) have air bags.

Those are fun cars a friend in highschool had one his dad was a huge fanatic of volvos that's all they drove. I personally won't mind one if I found one cheap.

[bloodontheapex]

Don't know how far you are from portland, but they seem to have them a plenty up there. Also, you can turbo one for like ~$300, if it's a 90-93 model 240.

Nice. I've been driving a 242 for a few months now. Really is a driver's car compared to the 7 series. My 245 Turbo was a lumbering beast. 90 hp at the flywheel in a 3200 pound car, though.

[Dat Lurka]

I don't remember much about teh 740. Besides that it got stolen and we still have the title and key :sneaky:

It would light up the tires.

[Z-train]

240 guys

 

 

[ArchetypeDatsun]

I saw that video like a week ago, stupid fast for a tractor lol.

 

I like Volvos but I'm sticking with Datsun I really like that one is L.A. area but its too expensive.

[Bentaxlebob]

I just scrapped one of those a few months back.Still have a few parts.Dash with radio, tail lights & turn signals

 

Shoud've scrapped a couple "Z"s which are moe common than scrapping a coveted 810 ! :confused:

[ArchetypeDatsun]

I wonder how bad the damage is on this.

400K on the clock,Az.did it's thing on the interior.Saved what i could.

The bre air dam would look sick but would it fit without modification is the question. I'm trimming about nodding 240z bumpers for my ride.

 

The below air-dam was an MSA S30 Z-Car Air Dam. It needed to be trimmed a bit but nothing drastic. It's doable... obviously.

 

Here's what it looks like with the air dam.

 

 

 

 

I wanted that 810 so bad but I didn't have enough money oh well it's only a matter of time till i find one. I've seen YouTube videos of that 810 I think the channel name was Z32fever just type in 810 wagon and it will show up.

[zetozeto99]

[Z-train]

Zeto's alive?Holy shit!

 

Anyone have a line on door gaskets?

[nismosilvia]

Thx Zeto for getting back to me. I asked you on YouTube to ha someone got back to me on there :). Do you have any pics of the air Damn on without the bumper?

 

Good news my 4door smogged on its 1st try last week. Cali can't get rid of this ol dats for the time being. Stocked to have it legal again

[ArchetypeDatsun]

Nice man glad it will be on the road again :hyper:

[nismosilvia]

General question here. I was going through the forum looking for online parts suppliers and I found one site that had rear lights for thr 810 for sale. Ive searched like crazy but have had no luck finding it again. Anyone one know the site im talking about?

[ArchetypeDatsun]

I can't recall but there was a member that sells 810 parts he had some brand new 810 sedan tail lights in the parts for sell section.

[ArchetypeDatsun]

I know the first thing to save up for when I get an 810...

If you just upgrade to a MS system,you will see no advantage over it with the above system
