smelt240 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 So I was really busy with work and life in general, kind of back burnered all of my project cars, and was thinking of getting back to them when I hurt my back at work. 3 months of "oh its a strain" turned into a herniated disc, and one bulging. Had surgery and though all would be well. Now its been over a year out of work, with pretty much no anything as far as being able to work on cars, or anything, for that matter. I sold my 73 510 to a guy from NY. Not really the money issue, just the sad to see it sit there thing. When he came up to Maine to get it, I gave him the tour of all the now idle projects, and he saw the 411. Well, he sent a check and now owns it as well. He does phenomenal metal work, so I actually feel good about seeing it go to him. Kind of like when I bought it, the previous owner knew Id treat it right. It hurts to see it go, but its different knowing what it will be when he is done. I did keep my 71 510, and have a friend who is going to be media blasting it, and getting it primed and sealed, then it will sit for a bit, until it is reborn as a #46 tribute car. Im going to try to get Anthony (the 411 and 510's new owner) to get on here and do a resto thread on both cars. Ill still be poking around, just a couple Datsuns lighter these days....

Draker Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 It does suck to let them go.. but often it's the best option. I'm selling a few of my cars for the same reason. Love the cars to death... but I just don't drive them. I don't have a big enough space to store them inside.. so naturally they have seen the weather and it's only getting worse. It will be a sad day when they are sold.. but like you said, maybe no so bad if they go to the right owner. Quote Link to comment
