Hi every one I have a 1971 Datsun 510 wagon and she's kind of beat up she got a few holes on her. Where I'm getting at with this is it worth it saving her or not??

pics......

 

i dont mean to be an ass but asking if its worth it but giving us nothing to judge is futile 

 

 

 

IMO tho - if its cheap save it!! i just did it to a 521

[tr8er]

It's a 71 pl510. Yes, it is worth it!

[KlassicMotion]

Yes the car should be saved.  Maybe the question is: should you be the one to save it?

[Datsunrider71]

How do you post pics on here?

 

But I bet your is fresh..

[Datsunrider71]

@tr8er she is in pretty bad shape

[Datsunrider71]

If its in my power I'm going to save her man

this is ratsun, where every datsun is worth saving.

I've already seen two local cars get dismantled, and someone comes along and buys the shell for a project.  I wouldn't be the person to take on that project, but obviously someone else is.

True bro :)

[Datsunrider71]

I feel you 100%

On a serious note:  flared4door was parting out a wagon

But where is he from I'm from MA.

alright.  Times have changed...   Step one to restoring a datsun 510 wagon:  Start a photobucket account.  Step two:  Load pictures into said account.  Step three:  Post pictures to this thread.  Step four:  bitch about classifieds for a bit.  Step thirteen:  fix wagon.  Step ?:  Profit!!!

But where is he from I'm from MA.

 

Well...After a stroll through the "Members" section.  It looks like he is in Everett, WA, but looking at his content, it looks like doesn't have a rear bumper left, just the front.

[Datsunrider71]

@KlassicMotino I like those back bumpers but those ant the one I'm talking about hehe

[Datsunrider71]

@Tr8er I don't want to sell her if I fix it

[Datsunrider71]

Damn that's sucks.

 

How much for the front bumper

There are others in the classifieds section.

[tr8er]

Fresh clean polished go for $500 or so.  Shipping will not be fun either.  I've been looking for a couple of years for that great deal on one.  

[KlassicMotion]

I paid $200 for a perfect used front, and $175 for a perfect used rear.  They were local, so I didn't have to pay shipping.  Keep looking, they will pop up eventually.  Also, consider painting them a contrasting color to the body color.  You can hide a lot of flaws under paint.

[Datsunrider71]

Yeah I found one on eBay for the same price lol, I want that bumper so bad thats what makes the car in my eyes the Crome shining you know :)

[Datsunrider71]

Your lucky man I would love to find a deal like that up here, just got to keep a sharp eye out for one I know I will find one day :)
