Logical1 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Howdy Ratsun friends, Frank and I were chatting and decided we need to put on a Datsun garage sale of epic proportions! For those of you that don't know Frank, he has been doing engine swaps and collecting parts for over 20 years. The amount of parts that he has gathered is nothing short of amazing! Myself and a few other Ratsunites will be adding our collection of parts to this sale as well. We are planning on the weekend of the Sept 14-15 with a possible presale Friday afternoon. It will be held at Franks place in downtown Everett, address to be added as we get closer. We will also be serving lunch and potlucking is welcome! For a taste of what is to be available: Multiple diff's - stock 510, 240z + 240sx Trannys of all sorts, 4 speed, doglegs, ka's 510 gauge clusters, headlight buckets, and more trim than you can believe. (The car variety ;) Flywheels, blocks, cranks & cams from L series, ka's, vg,'s and sr's Tail lights, side markers, interior, & grills Fuel cells, maf's, headers, intakes, carbs and dizzys Basically anything you can imagine for dimes and Datsun engines!!! Stop by to shop, to talk shop, or just to talk and show off your ride! 1 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sounds epic. We have a guy down here by the name of Rodney that has collected some super rare parts too. I'd love to get my hands in his stash. Too bad I'm not closer to you guys. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Im pretty sure Im going to miss this for some Navy shit... wish it was a weekend earlier. Or push it back a weekend and combine the upcoming Northenders meet with this. Instead of crappy fast food we could eat some BBQ. 1 Quote Link to comment

jalen Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I vote for pushing it back Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 This isn't a voting thread; it's an invite to an event happening on such-and-such a date. 5 Quote Link to comment

Not holding my breath for the change. I miss all the good meets for work so it's not a big deal. Luckily I don't need anything... Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 This isn't a voting thread; it's an invite to an event happening on such-and-such a date. Ah I forgot, it's the internet, people are not allowed to ask questions or make recommendations. Cause god knows if enough people jumped in and said they already had plans that day and asked if there was a chance for it to move, it couldn't change the planners mind. Plus to most people the word "planning" doesn't necessarily mean set in stone 3 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 This isn't a voting thread; it's an invite to an event happening on such-and-such a date. Yes you are right ,,, but the terrible traffic and the risk to your car in that downtown Seattle shit ,,and the (at least) 2 hour one way drive makes driving there 2 weekends in a row virtually out of the question.. As witnessed by the huge northend turnouts at southend events and vise-versa.. I just drove only up to the University of Washington last Friday and i can tell you for a fact it is a brutal hump even in a newer car..And Everette is quite a bit farther...Granted weekdays are a bit busier but what ever . we will have to make a decision to go to one or the other,, we will try to make it.

jalen Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 If you were to combine them. It couldn't be a mini canby. Plus having a car meet would be good for business. 1 Quote Link to comment

Logical1 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Girls girls... Truth be told, Frank and I talked about the weekend of the north end meet. However we both wanted to actually go to the north end meet, that being said we might re-open again the weekend of the meet. Any suggestions on how we might enjoy both and not detract from either? Franks place has limited space for a meet (no lot to park everyone in, street parking only) also the reason why unfortunately we can't host other folks tables for parts selling :( on that note though, I just got back from his place and you literally can't imagine the amount of parts he has, I'm fairly sure you could build several dimes just out the collection he is putting out for this sale! I will post some pics up soon so you can get an idea of the insanity! Quote Link to comment

Logical1 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I dont want to compete and under cut Franks prices. So I better list them for sale in his garage sale thread and undercut him anyway! Just bustin your balls hainz ;) Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Planet of the Datsn I try to get rid of stuff in back of my 521 and I wasnt looking More stuff was thrown back in!!!!!!! Frank is sneaky also. hes hoping every body brings up their parts then it wont sell and people just walk off leaving them, then Frank sells them on the internet. That was My Plan on my parts(hell wasnt going to bring that shit back home)He can keep it I got too much stuff also I need to get rid of but bringing mine up isnt going to help him sell. But he has alot of parts!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
