dgi Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Congratulations on your purchase. And welcome to Ratsun. I work in Greensboro myself and live closer to where you picked up the 510 wagon. If I can help somehow, feel free to contact me. dgi Quote Link to comment

qwik510 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Nice. Hawaii wagon on the east coast. Pretty cool. You can call it the Hula Goon. Check out our east coast 510 website. www.eastcoastdatsun510.com We have a great meet every spring. Maybe you can plan on joining us. Lots of NC dimer's come up for it. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Welcome to the forum! Always great to see a car get saved from the crusher! qwik510 knows a handful of the guys down your way in NC. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hey, sorry, I would have PM'd you, but it looks like you don't have it set up yet. You should make sure that the paperwork is actually for that Wagon.........the paperwork says "4 door sedan". All of the VIN tags can be swapped, but there should also be a VIN # stamped on the firewall, right near the hood prop rod mounting bracket. If that # is not there, check for bondo covering it. You can also stick your head up under the dash to see if the "stamping" was deep enough to poke thru to the back of the firewall (I have seen this!). Hate to burst a bubble, but hate to see someone invest $$ in a car with title issues. HOPEFULLY, everything checks out, and Hawaii simply called the Wagon a 4 door Sedan! Make sure to tell me if it all checks out, and I'll delete this, so nobody ever questions the car! You can see the firewall VIN in this pic. It is too distorted to read it though. This is the correct VIN for this car unless the sheetmetal around it shows signs of it being welded. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c158/3411/510%20wagon/1381108_10202196919634483_1418035892_n_zpsd1a704f4.jpg Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Being from Hawaii, you're going to have a crap-ton of metal repair to do. The salt air ruins cars quickly over there unless they are very well cared for. Quote Link to comment
