Datsun with 5 speed on CL - north of Seattle

[RickB]

NFI

Located in Everett Washington
80 Datsun 210
Blown HG
Has 1.4 liter A14 motor that needs a new head gasket
Should Have correct 5 speed for Spridgets
Get the car, repair the HG, swap in a 4 speed then sell the car and keep the 5 speed. Just a bit of Sweat Equity.

Didnt last long did it, so I guess you snagged it eh Bill?

 

[Billm]

Yep-

Something else for him to pack and take to San Diego.

It has a catalytic converter that I am going to put on my blue one so that I can take THAT one to Cal and maybe pass smog there.

You do know they sell those over the counter, right? :confuse:

Bill, it's time to admit you have a problem.

Perhaps you should seek out a support group.

This is DEFINATLY not the place to get advice NOT to buy another car.

 

[RickB]

I've been over and seen his garage recently, he's definitely got less stuff now than he did a couple months ago so as long as he keeps up that trend I think he's doing OK.

If I know Bill this car will be for sale again soon with a 4 speed transmission and a new head gasket.
A basic daily driver for someone who needs cheap transportation.

See, Bill is doing the public a great service - he should be commended for his altruistic endeavors.

Let's toast to BillM's endeavors... Maybe we can keep him up here just alittle bit longer..

Not likely Eric, but I have come to a decision on the "new" Datsun wagon-
There is really not much left of the interior and think that the only good use for this would be a "24 Hour of Lemons" car.
Who wants a 1980 Datsun 210 wagon (pretty cheap really) to go racing? Chris Rae needs some competetion for "King Henry the Fat"!!

[RickB]

Two things I think I know about racing:

1. It's really really fun!
2. At any level it's really really expensive.

 

[Billm]

...and you wonder why I am not using the car for racing.....??
BillM

 

[RickB]

Well my first guess would be #2 above...

 

[Billm]

,,,and your second guess doesn't count!

My son loves old datsun wagon's. Too bad you're so far away. At least to go after, what I imagine is, an old ratty wagon. Does the body look like most do Bill??

Kurt.

 

[Billm]

This thing is surprisingly rust free! I was amazed.
The outside looks pretty good but the interior (soft pieces) is either trashed or missing.

Bill,

You might want to post it on the Ratsun.net sight -
there's always people looking for those.
Are you coming through Eureka on your way to S.CA?

Doug
No- I take 5 all of the way.
Would like to meet you sometime but probably not during the move.

I see you have the aggressive form of the disease. Careful folks, lest he infect you too. He almost got me w/ the one in La. Luckily, my wife has the antidote.

DON'T tell her about this place, next thing you know all our Wives / Significant Others will have the cure and when that happens it's all over man, game over man!
