converted_to_datsun Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Very cool! More pics, engine bay, interior other angles. What are your plans for it? You said low budget build. Quote Link to comment
garths311 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 The interior is pretty roached and the engine needs help but I believe it will run after all new fluids a Carbs clean . It isn't frozen at least . Quote Link to comment

garths311 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ratsun is right . All I need is time and money ! Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Some of the best fixes are free. That paint just needs a buff. Little things like that help keep motivation going Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 nice from what ive read a low budget build on a roadser is possible......as long as you dont need brake parts those things cost a fortune Quote Link to comment
garths311 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Unless you need parts for the top or interior Quote Link to comment
garths311 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well you sound like a lively bunch I'm on the 311 forum as well and its a little bit stuffy over there sometimes Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 this forum is a little more active than 311s lol 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 this forum is a little more awesome than 311s lol Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Get it running and moving(starting and stopping), once it is that far, things tend to get done as needed. I have met several 311s running around without a top over the years, mostly in the summer though, but they didn't care, they were just happy it ran good, most of them looked like permanent on going projects, but they were all smiling.

Laecaon Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I want a roadster, I think more than any other datsun... Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 there fun. unless your taller than 6-2 then your gonna have troubles haha Quote Link to comment
garths311 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yeah I always wanted one too and after many years I got one . It's funny when I met my wife 17 years ago I had a 68 wagon and it was sora blue . It would have fit right in here total rat but had a hot l16 with a downdraft webber . Quote Link to comment
69srl311 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 As long as it does not need front ball joints or disk brake cylinders. Those are the pricy parts, however I have seen plenty of decent used ones for sale on 311s.org and ebay if yours are totally unusable. Quote Link to comment
garths311 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 It actually has the Volvo mod on it already but the discs are pretty rusty maybe they will clean up. Quote Link to comment
