Georgia On My Mind Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hello, Names David I am the new proud owner of a 1973 Datsun 610 Hardtop. The car is the original silver color with some dents and dings plus some stupid black spray can paint. Its a true 47,000 miles car with all numbers matching. It has some rust but it is in the rear and front windows plus some on the chrome holes for the rear lights. the rest of the car is super clean the trunk and floor pans don't have a touch of rust in them. the car is sadly being a garage queen, because I need to do a whole brake job. the other sad thing is that its an automatic car but not for long. would appreciate some more info about the cars and some advice on what to and maybe some part cause I am missing the rear bumper and the chrome around side windows. Thanks if you can. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 question is the paint code still readable? thats the color my car was originally so it would be nice to have the paint code 1 Quote Link to comment
Georgia On My Mind Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 no sorry man I can't read the paint code. does anybody know if they still make the bolt that connects the caliper to the strut I have stupidly broken one. the measurements are 12mm bolt with a pitch of 1.25mm and length of 30mm.

Georgia On My Mind Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 update the car has had body work done and is now painted the silver color again and is being wet sanded. the inside has been mostly converted to black and is run and stopping again. but I need some parts like the chrome around the windows and the rear bumper. plus a complete clutch and brake petal cluster to change it from automatic to stick. also a newish set of window wiper arm pivots.

EdwardK Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 That's a beautiful car man! I think I saw the craigslist ad for it when it was for sale. Almost went out and bought her right then. I'm glad someone got it and is giving it some love! Quote Link to comment
