Buddy of mine that lives in town and uses my shop for working on his jeep says "I want to put the spare Jeep axles under that old Datsun on the tennis court. That would be rad."

 

Just, for ideas, yaknow

 

I am really leaning towards buying 2 wrecked leafs, but I have a couple other projects that need to be done first. 

 

Or somewhere to put the puzzle together......

Actually not the same. I almost bought one of these but it was too incomplete. Didn’t have the front axle and missing something else important but I don’t recall. 
 

Mine is a ‘60 310. 

 

 

310s are cool too 😄

Shows you I don't know shit about these oldies. They look similar, but now that you mention it, yeah I see they aren't the same.

Dude I have a leaf motor, just nothing else for it, maybe you could wire it in with the other motor?

I never did get to this. Taking it to powerland worked out though. the510keeper is the new owner. Hopefully he can make somethin happen with it. 🙂

Honestly, that car is probably best left to return to mother nature. Only someone who has done it before understands what it means to take on a rotisserie restoration. There would be 1000 hours of metal work alone on that poor little Datsun.

 

Have fun James!

Or maybe the Datsun gods line you up another one so you can build a nice one...

James just got this one too. 🙂

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

He's already built one, right? I thought I saw something a couple years ago.

Yeah, the blue one. That one belonged to AtomChurch. James was telling me that it was pretty nice to begin with.

I look out at the parking pad and something is missing

 

I know what is missing but biw I have to out something else in its spot

[hobospyder]

Hmmmm.... Parking court sounds better

 

I'll put a moldy honda in the spot the 1000 was in

I was pretty close to bringing back a beat 620, but gas prices prevailed 😐

This 1000 will make great yard art until someone falls in love with it. its old school and cool. Someday after the 2 door wagon, coupe and Hako.
