Kirden Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice roadster, but now you're on the ihatechu list. Sorry, it's mandatory till I can find a roadster, but I will still oogle photos and try to help in any way possible. Welcome to ratsun. BTW, can you share your color code? That looks like it would be really nice polished out. Quote Link to comment

That looks like it would be really nice polished out. I tried to read the colour code, but it's faded. I got it from the original owner and I don't think he got it repainted. The shop seem to think it's silver originally since the firewall is silver. I don't see it on this list of paint code. Maybe it was a dealership option back then and they just painted it whatever color you wanted maybe?!?! http://www.datsun.org/roadster/resources/paintcodes.html Quote Link to comment
phong13 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome, nice start. What are your plans? Thank you. It's a nice histor on how I got it. I wish I had taken better care of it if I had known what I know now. It was given to me by the neighbor across the street from my parents. I was in college at the time. And then it ended up with my brother and he didn't take very good care of it. I finally got it back and starting the process to restore it. So my plan is to restore it and get it back to its former glory. Trying to keep it as original as possible. 1) Getting the motor cleaned up. 2) Getting the steering rebuilt. 3) Going back to the original silver 4) Debating between keeping the interior back or going to red. 5) Looking for wheels options... or just staying with the steel wheels with chrome caps. 1 Quote Link to comment
