New World Datsuns...

I'll just post pics and keep the updates going.

This is the wagon Pumkn Dave pulled out of the woods twice.

Towed the Pumkn up to Puyallup


Towed the goon back to Eugene






Got it running,

Went LOAR
Flipped the rear leaf and dropped the front spring perches down a bit.








Ziptied a 210 datsun emblem on, because datsun.



There's some heavy bondo to be addressed later on, but for now I'm taking off the thin bondo in different places that cover some surface rust, and scrubbing the primer off that's covering up the nice original paint in some places.




Rocker is toast under that bondo.

Got some goof off to scrub some of the primer off. This was solid grey before.

Awsome, I was wondering how the rattle can would come off!
You kinda made it sound easy to pickup, wasnt it like a 900 mile round trip?

Eh, I think 600ish. Nothing special for us though. Travelin's our game.

Love me some goon.

Keep the updates coming

It was having some ignition issues the other day, turns out the cheap coil burnt out, took a spare coil with a broken post and wired it up and everything worked fine again.

Just think of how much gas you'll be saving pulling all that bondo off man.

The swiss cheese under it will improve aerodynamics exponentially!

No stick on vents necessary.

Like the dimples on a golf ball, they will help you go farther.

My golf balls said straighter distance.

Both lies!

Maybe switch it up man... wack em to the left every now and then.

I pulled the 5lb chunk of bondo off the rocker, scared of what cancer may lurk underneath... Found out I'm missing a speed hole.

Turns out the rocker is just dented up and not too terribly rusty. Wooooo.

I think I've settled for getting all the bonderp off, then finding a proper clear coat to seal all the original paint and rust in. I may make the interior travel worthy though... Some comfy seats, doors all sealed up, maybe even new carpet and solid floors.

Maybe moar low.

Definitely moar low. Soon as I get some angled blocks, and shorten my struts moar.

You, sir, just said all the right things!!

Putting this on hold until Zach gets a legit radiator for his new goon, and I'm financially capable of getting this thing as low and solid as I would like.

But she did meet her new friend today.



Showed up at Zach's house as a rolling shell today at 2-2:30-ish. Had an engine, trans and driveline all hooked up by midnight.

lol dems are some monster truck tires on a slammed car.
