Hello! My name is Atom.
I just picked up a '51 Minx the other day and have begun restoring it to some extent. I am missing a few things and I hope to have this car lead me to a new car enthusiast community. I have been doing Datsun 510's and 521's for some time now and I am excited for a new project. I have some photos I will post tomorrow.
So far I have fiddled with the wiring to the engine and got it to run, cleaned and adjusted the carb to let it idle smoothly without smoking. Also I installed a 64 Ford brake master since the master that was in it was shot. The Ford master was the closest I could find that was in stock at the autoparts store. It seems to work just fine, though my wheel cylinders seem to have locked up. I have begun to remove them and will try to rebuild them the best I can or find new ones.
Is there any where that sells these parts still?
Also does anyone have any photos of a '51 minx's heater box/controls? The car I picked up has a toyota box in it and I would like to change that out.
