Loren O Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I bought this car a year or so ago, and haven't done much with it since. I have had other projects in front of this one (my 521 for example)but now my wife's damn Suburban,& her Accord wagon are not reliable enough, so it's time to build her something reliable....a DATSUN !

Loren O Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Well friends, the time has come to get this car up & going. I am hoping to have it ready so my wife can drive it to Datsuns around Bend in late August. I finally have the left taillight, & rear hatchgarnish, plus the automatic transmission pedal assembly,& shifter. Any help with scrambling this together,& making it reliable enough for the trip there & back from Canby would be Greatly appreciated! 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 There was a vendor at Canby with that side fender. Pretty sure it was a 610 but didn't have the marker light hole. Did the after '73 parking light serve as the side marker in those? Quote Link to comment
Loren O Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I have a replacement front fender, I got from Danfiveten awhile ago. I got the left taillight I have been searching for from Phixius,Sunday at the Canby show. Also thanks to Phixius,for the heads up about the 610 wagon that was at Pick n pull south recently. I have the rear hatch garnish various other trim pieces, a clock,& both headlight buckets off that car. I still need to get the grille that Merlin Blackwell has been saving for me,but I have been afraid it would get damaged in shipping. This car has been in storage for awhile, so there are bound to be other things I have forgotten that need replacement. I think I remember both bumpers being pretty banged up. Quote Link to comment
Loren O Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Oh,I almost forgot to mention, I also got the automatic transmission pedal assembly and floor shifter this car will need,because my wife doesn't drive a stick. Thanks again,Phixius. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 The auto will do fine i don't know if there was any difference from the early 3 speed autos and the later ones like the one in my 77 200sx but it did just fine on the trip did 622 miles like nothing. I wish I could go pick up that orange 610 goon from the old man who has a bunch of datsuns sitting around his property. 1 Quote Link to comment
610 Wagon Goon Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one saving a 610 goon. 1 Quote Link to comment
