bananahamuck Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Name change since it isn't stuck on front page now. Sold my 4door 510 to fund sheet metal roof,, and got a wild hair to sell my 55 Ford at the same time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, by some miracle they both sold for the price i wanted.. So after they were gone i was stuck with that stupid 83 280zx turbo ,,,,,, again. I finally finished putting on the stupidly overpriced sheetmetal and had some free time to Craigslist,,, bad idea i know... Came across a 66 411 local that the guy wanted to trade for old cars or motor bikes,,, Fuckin A ,,,,,,,,, that sounds just like an ad aimed right for me. :frantics: So we setled on giving him 2 Z50 type cycles that hadn't even been out of the garage in at least 10 years (took 4 hours to move enough shit outta the way to get the first one even to the door) and a few dollars in cash... Offered the blue 71 SL175 up too but he didn't seem to want it. ,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Ended up with a used tampon red 66 411 that has ( by the paper work ) traded hands faster than a doobie at a Allman brothers concert. Literally the only thing that would make this a "car" is that it can actually drive down road under its own power,,, because of small fire previous owner had that fried the fuse box. Motor smokes and has a severe knock,, and looks toover heat a bit ,, by the brown water stains all over engine bay .. . Windows must leak as there is copious amounts on silicone type material around front and rear windows............ There is a sizeable bondo spots (found with magnet before purchase) behind rear tires. and the head liner is pretty fucked,,,,,,,,, All in all a pretty decent Datsun. Plans are to install an A 14 in got a year or so ago and one of the 2 ,,,,,, yes 2 non dogleg 5speeds in have on the shelf. Long term plans have always been ( have been collecting parts for years) 4Age swap for the noise it puts out,, :lol: :lol: What does this piece of shit look like???????? Well in that respect it shines like a diamond . Previous owner loved the car and it shows ,,, but it looked like it was just was falling apart in every way and if you know anything about these,, the parts are pretty much non-existent Too bad it's really only skin deep.. As QTip has mentioned ,,,,,,,,i probably should have kept the Z50s ;) 14 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 First off, you need to move the mirrors farther down on the doors. It looks like you can probably still see the tops of them from inside the car. 3 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I accidently let it slip as to why i was digging out the mini trail bike ( it was over by lathe) at about 11:00 as i was standing in door texting the guy about it when he rolled over,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this was about 6 o-clock,,,,,,,,,,, he is sleeping in that picture. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Instead of a lizard on the side, you should paint a hoagie. I was going to go with a giant fiberglass one bolted to the roof for more exposure in heavy traffic. 2 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 If there's enough bondo, it might pass as the fiberglass hoagie by itself. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Oh you were thinking ,,, the whole car painted as a sub sandwich,,, i was thinking in terms of a Jimmy Johns delivery vehicle. I shall run over to Harbor Freight to see if they have a green tarp to hang out the trunk 2 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 The engine bay wiring harness is being removed from the smashed windshield one if it stays sunny this weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Ted as in ,," fucking Ted :sneaky: " came over to bum a 620 seat i was tired of moving back and frickin forth for it's runners,, and helped me get this mess of wires out of the white 411 ^^ up there. Over the weekend i thought i could easily run the painless style wiring the guy had started,,, but when i touched a hot wire to the wires with tail light written on it................ The starter started to turn,,,,,,,,,, welp that shit is fucked up... So went back to original plan of attack.. It may catch fire but at least i will know it was my fault.. About all i got to show is a mess of wires on the floor. 4 Quote Link to comment

tdaaj Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would say its more of a personal collection 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would say,, more of a place where younger generations come to learn the phrase,,, nope not selling that either . 7 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well not much but ripping and tracing wires .. For some reason Datsun used the exact same plug end on the heater and head light switches and they are within inches of each other in the car,,,,,,,, yeah good thinking on that one. anyways,,, got to go to kincos and blow up a wiring diagram my neighbor came up with.. Old new harness I have a new and improved version of the gauge unit but i'm going to install later 5 Quote Link to comment

I went to Fedex express (kinkos) and had them blow it up a little bit and laminate ,,, when i get that color cartridge i think i will blow that one up bigger.. :thumbup: And thanks for the encouragement,, :) . 3 Quote Link to comment
