slodat Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 DatsunsNW is hosting the Fools Swap Meet Sunday, April 1st 10am - 2pm at Tonkin Wilsonville Nissan. There will be a bbq provided by the nice people at Tonkin Wilsonville Nissan. Bring your parts that you have been meaning to get out of the garage so you can get your ride ready for Canby and sell them to the guy who needs those parts to get his rig ready for the show! The last one was a ton of fun and we had a great turn out. This is a no charge event. Bring your Datsun/Nissan parts and have a good time! There will be space to show off your car while you swap.

Green Bastard Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Woo-Hoo I cant wait. I have a good set of street struts/springs/camber plates to practically give away to some lucky bastard. I need to clean the garage now, since the car is gone for a few days. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have some goodies too! I will have a complete set of front/rear disc brakes with Porterfield R4S pads 280ZX front calipers, 200SX rear calipers and drilled/slotted/zinc washed rotors. The rears include control arms with the caliper brackets welded on... Good setup. Anyway, before I threadjack. Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 What are you referring to? The link is to the club (DatsunsNW) that is putting on the swap meet. Is that what you mean? I posted the details of the swap meet. Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 The location is just off I-5 exit 286. About 14 miles south of Portland. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Wilsonville is the 1st and 2nd exits going south right after 205 meets back up with I-5, if I am not mistaken the car dealerships are the 1st exit the town is the 2nd....dont quote me on this, hell I live in Seattle...:D Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 What are you referring to? The link is to the club (DatsunsNW) that is putting on the swap meet. Is that what you mean? I posted the details of the swap meet. Yes by clicking the link I successfully mad it to DatsunNW but from there I could not find any hint of the event.... found the link for Canby and one other event. I was also going to ask if you are in the group photo? Is there going to be a train heading that way? I am interested in going. Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 The swap meet is for real. It will be on April 1st just as Slo described. I will see if I can get some info up on the webpage about it. Icehouse, Thanks for the info on the no having info webpage. Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 swap meet last year was great. i'll see if i can make it again. do we have the oppertunity to donate for swap meet spots again? Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 info on the web page now datsunsnw.org Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Is there going to be a train heading that way? I am interested in going. Iceman, by now you should know that I'll pick your ass up at the train station and Datto Taxi your ass around. :D Hell, I'll even store parts if you pick something up. swap meet last year was great. i'll see if i can make it again. do we have the oppertunity to donate for swap meet spots again? When the old man (the guy that helps get this arranged) and I very briefly discussed this in email, we agreed that a free event was a good idea. Personally, I like a no charge event. To me, that says "Let's get together and swap some parts, check out cars and talk shop". It ensures no one has to wonder who is pocketing the $10/spot. Tedd (one D or two DD's?), if more than a handful of people say the same thing with respect to wanting to donate some $$, we can revisit the issue. Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 one "d" and i had no problem donating. figured it may have gone to the cost of food or what not. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I dont' know if I can make it... but I certainly NEED to go there and unload a mass of parts cheap! As I'm working on my car I keep looking around at all this stuff I want to get rid of... Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Bleach - maybe you can work out a deal with the Iceman to shuttle some parts down. You know he's a cheap bastard, so it just might work. Think of it... you don't even have to deal with the bickering penny pinching Datsun people ;) Ted - I understood that you would happily donate. I really like the idea of no charge for this one. I think it is consistent with trying to get people out, etc. Plus that's $10 more for buying parts! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Wilsonville -- the town near Fry's. Soon to be known as the town invaded by Datsuns. Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 What this boils down to is really quite simple. Bleach and Iceman, you gotta come down! Quote Link to comment
