Benno Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sweet score! I agree, looks a lot better without those flares on it I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm on a roll alright! Hopefully I don't find anymore sweet cars there again for a while, 4 active projects is a bit much at one time haha. Yeah flares are dumb unless my wheels were another couple inches wider. Guard / tyre gap gets bigger with out them on tho which sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm a little jealous of that goon, I have to admit. If you give up on it, I'd love the bumpers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be4ver Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I bet you do! So you want to buy a sun shine wagon?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-B Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Ratsun wagon! Beats letting it go to be turned into a Chinese car. Ha, what other scores are in that junk yard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Not much really. They mostly get in late 90s early 2000s sorta shit from turners I think. But occasionally something random stuff shows up that's sweet. Then I can't help but try buying it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-B Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 My missus used to work at turners in wellington. Got heaps of good scores! Got a S12 turbo Gazelle once for $500 in really good condition. AC even worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Wow! There must be a lot of cars that slip through turners etc for fuck all. Even newer cars that have been repossessed or stolen or whatever go for peanuts most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 That Datsun wags is sooooo sweet. Definitely something I would love to daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmatedan Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 That's awesome to see another b310 saved man!!!! Top effort with the tidy up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-B Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 was only a matter of time before you discovered rust and bog. Its an old datsun remember! Looks fixable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 yeah! i was expecting to find more rust than i first found in it anyway. But its still pretty minimal really. There's a hole in the same place on in the passenger foot well too. I should really get myself a decent welder and learn to weld so i can start fixing my own rust. The guy who does my rust work keeps hassling me about buying shit old cars lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-B Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 yeah, buy a half decent gas mig. I bought a Lincoln 180c, really sweet welder. https://www.gasweld.com.au/k2668-1-lincoln.html Got mine for a lot cheaper though, $695 AU on sale!

Liam-B Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 ps, stay away from cheap Chinese brands. Try buy a Lincoln or Miller or something Aussie like transmig, cigweld etc. Easy to get parts for and they are reliable. I did a lot of research and ended up buying a Lincoln 180c because they can weld really small thin steel panels with the infanitly variable adjustment. Gas is a must.
