michaelwagon Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hello everyone from ratsun. I picked up my 72 datsun wagon a few days ago, after saving and looking for the last few months. Only has 89000 miles but you can tell it was put in the wrong hands.. everything is prefect besides the rust, and the kid that cut to many coils on the front. Quote Link to comment

michaelwagon Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah I like the rust.. but there's a few places that worries me a little like behind the fenders on the front Quote Link to comment
michaelwagon Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Right now just doing a few things like removed the bumpers.. The front is in really good shape just needs polish but the rear bumper is done for.. and a few small things.. right now just try to get the front restored with the messed up springs and old ass shocks Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah I like the rust.. but there's a few places that worries me a little like behind the fenders on the front Congrats on the new goon. The rear part of the rocker panel and behind the real wheel looks a bit scary from my house.. Hard to tell from the photo of the left side, though. Quote Link to comment

michaelwagon Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Alright I just ordered a welder so this summer I can start body work and small fab Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 looks ok I would turn the battery around so the positive is towards the firewall and get a battery hold down otherwise if the positive is the way it is and you crash or hit the brake hard the battery will go fwd and short out on the hood so do it bnow and get new batter cables and get shorter ones that are close to the shortest possible. get the ngk wire set NE64 from rockauto.com or amazon get 2 sets.

michaelwagon Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well a new battery is in order.. and I ordered the ngk spark plug wires and spark plugs.. trust me that battery has to go.. doesn't even fit on the tray.. I am thinking about relocating the battery in the back.. to clean up the engine bay.. and tuck it.. Quote Link to comment
michaelwagon Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Just wish I would have kept my old motor from my last wagon.. shit happens I guess.. to do the relocation.. I just need long ass battery wires and to build a box.. or does anyone else have any other Ideas Quote Link to comment
