Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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?? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 It's a 71 pl510. Yes, it is worth it! Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yes the car should be saved. Maybe the question is: should you be the one to save it? 1 Quote Link to comment

KlassicMotion Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment

KlassicMotion Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Any knows where I can find a back bumper? Yeah that's in this thread: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/17492-post-ass/ On a serious note: flared4door was parting out a wagon Quote Link to comment
Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 But where is he from I'm from MA. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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!!! Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 @KlassicMotino I like those back bumpers but those ant the one I'm talking about hehe Quote Link to comment
Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 @Tr8er I don't want to sell her if I fix it Quote Link to comment
Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Damn that's sucks. How much for the front bumper Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 http://community.ratsun.net/topic/53042-last-of-my-510-parts/ There are others in the classifieds section. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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 :) Quote Link to comment
Datsunrider71 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 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 :) Quote Link to comment
