1976 710 Sedan

[mcfr3d]

I found this 710 on Craigslist.  For most part its a complete survivor.  86k original miles.  According to the previous owner it came from Central Oregon and was owned by an Old Grandma, thus the license plate frames.  I'm going to try to clean it up and make it my daily driver.

The previous owner was a Ratsun member so I wouldn't be suprised if this hasn't been on here before.

I'm going to repaint it a factory datsun color.  Fix the seat.  I would love some Smiley bumpers.  Not sure from there.

lucky man mcf, I was trying to get the funds together to get this but couldn't pull it off for a few more weeks.

Youre going to repaint it? :confused:

 

 

Welcome to Ratsun and Im glad the car made its way back. Banner loved that car so he took good care of it. Treat her nice.

I'm glad this finally went to someone that can do something with it..

it actually looks like the car was painted once in its life as the paint isnt oxidizing the clear coat is pealing and since the original paint didnt use clear coat it points to a respray

I missed that somewhere then. All the pictures I remember, it looked great. Maybe a good cut and buff will fix the paint. 

 

Either way, cant wait to see what you do with this.

Its not the paint that bothers me. Its the peeling clear coat.  I have considered just putting a new clear coat on.  I haven't decided.

new clear coat for the win!!! 

 

 

glad to see this one made it back to the family

Looks like the original spare.  I havent cleaned out the truck but that is very light rust.  Under the spare It's still super solid.

 

The rust gods have been kind.

 

I am trying to stock pile some parts.  For now I am going to do some basic maintance to make it ride and steer better.  The car is sketchy on the freeway so, I'm starting  off with new front wheel bearings, brakes, strut rod and control arm bushings.  

 

 

 

 

It looks like my wife will be helping me with this build. :thumbup: .  Btw this is our first build.  

 

 

Anyone know who's name this is?  _ _ _ _ _tomo.
