eseses Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Greetings from Finland I´m new to forum, joined just yesterday. I did find KPL710 -77, 1600 SSS 2d HT at attic, and managed to move it to my garage, legally. Finnish climate, roadsalt wintertime, and last 20 years bad storage can be seen in this car. I´ve been looking for information some days, and seem´s there isn´t any body parts available? I mean reproduction. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment
eseses Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Also, I´m interested if someone knows if there is "quite perfect" alternatives for model specific wheel arches. I think many cars (ford´s, toyotas´s etc.) that era have quite similar arches. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Body parts are usually found in wrecking yadrs here. That's about it, or maybe an overlooked Violet in someone's back yard? Hey welcome to Ratsun. We have several members from Norway, Spain, Greece and Britain Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Any photos pf your Datsun so we can get an idea of what you need ? A good source of Datsun parts in Europe is "Will" from UK. He has a site, can not remember the name, but he is also a member here. Will try to get the site name. Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Member name is " Willdatsun" Send him a PM. Quote Link to comment
eseses Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thanks, his site seems to be datman.co.uk. Wreckyards here in Finland don´t store anything from that era. Only 90´s or newer. Now and then you can make such finds as I did, but not often anymore. And climate here in Finland ruins practically everything, if it is not stored indoors. And Datsuns have allways have bad repuation when talking about rust :D. I can send pics later. You will be horrified :D. Here´s one, but in this pic it looks better than it is. Quote Link to comment
eseses Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Btw, isn´t there full parts catalog available in pdf? Quite surprising, first car whitch I can´t find it. edit: ah, seems I don´t need it, found FAST software :D Quote Link to comment
Will Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi, Welcome to the site! I was in Turku about 10 years ago, and there were a few junkyards with Datsuns, (Juhani Halmeenmaki took me on a junkyard tour - I'm not sure if he's still part of the Datsun world out there, but he would be a good source for information.) There was a pretty big yard in Tortinmaki, but from checking Google maps, it looks like it might no longer be in business: https://goo.gl/maps/IOSus I was able to pick up new reproduction fenders from the parts store in Finland for my 100A - it could be worth a try. (and post some more pictures once you have a chance to wash all of the dirt off of that car!) Quote Link to comment

eseses Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ah, seems I have forgot this thread totally, sorry :( With my very limited spare time I´ve been welding sill´s and floor. Half made, half waiting. It´s so rotten. Basicly car was standing by roof and tunnel. Quote Link to comment
