I have this 72 Datsun 510 wagon that belonged to my granddaddy. When he
got sick like 35 years ago my dad put it in the barn where it sat until
maybe 15 yr ago when I pulled it out and stuck it in a storage bin in
KY. It is basically all original, in good shape except for a few small
body ding
You need to restore it (documenting per Dan for his finnie sedan project)
and then auction it on BAT for a huge sum while the rest of us schlubs ooh
and aah.

I will say that documenting a job like the Finnie is a bit of a PITA, you get
used to incorporating it into the process. I like doing it as I enjoy sharing
the work with others, plus it gives me reference points if I need to return to
a particular job or repair validate my work or check against
The schlub is the guy who watches the artisan doing the actual restoration
work.

OK, but your work is VERY entertaining to watch and requires very little
effort on our part, other than making the popcorn and opening a b**r or two.

BaT that and hope some fools on the west coast find it. Big dollar sale for
sure. Craig McCaw (cellular One) has a racing shop that restores vintage race
cars. There is a really nice red 510 in the garage.
The vintage asian cars are huge out there. I was attending an MBCA event in
North V
Ebay and expand the pool of buyers to Japan.
