Wagon. hmmm, it almost looks like putting the s13 one in is as much work as a 510 one would be. looks like ill stay leafs for a bit--thanks for the help.

Hey all, I cant seem to find a thread where swapping in the 510's rear sub frame to replace the leafs on a 610 wagon is--i know i have seen stuff about it before, just wanted to do some research before i start. thanks!

dont want a damaged one, would prefer a NOS one (however unlikely) the more mint, the better. cost is not a real issue.

someone hit the front of my car :/ grill is destroyed, need another. 76 610

not even a picture?

here is the front pannel, looking into the that thread you guys posted, ill check it out. it would make sense, as my car is a total pain to start when it wasnt originally.

like it says, 610 grill please.

i put in a 85 subie alternator to get rid of the regulator, and in the process, i had to re wire 4 wires, and now, this resistor is drawing 12v when the car is just sitting, and thus killing the battery. what is it, and can i unplug it and go on my merry way? i think its the voltage warning light relay, but not sure. gracias. the relay wires going into the relay on the other side of the plug thanks for the help.

well, if its "surface rust" then i dont think there is any paint left. as for bubbling areas and such, i just go around them with the heavy compounds and hit them with a less dense pad and softer compound. there really is not much danger ripping the paint off. of course there are exceptions, but generally there shouldnt be an issue. however, this process wont remove the surface rust and reveal shiny paint underneath, so its really moot; no need to polish rust.

thanks guys; i really enjoy doing this, old cars can be super rewarding. i bet many of you would be surprised how salvageable your paint is, it always hurts to see someone think that its not salvageable and end up spray bombing it :( did a little more work today, didnt take pictures, too busy. ill post a picture when the first compound is complete on the car.

(x-posting this from that 610 sub forum) i like to do paint restoration, especially black cars... (after first compound) (Final product) and have been anticipating to do it for my 610... time has finally arrived, because we have had some nice weather! not going to write a bible, ill let the pictures do the talking, but here is basically what i did in chronological order; first i removed all the trim, basically anything that could come off did, was fun pulling everything off, seeing what it was like underneath it all... what is funny is how everything is screwed in, no bolts. after all these years i expected it to be worse, but it is not all that bad. once i stripped it down and pulled everything i felt like removing, i gave it a bath with dawn dish soap. works well for taking off wax and other stuff on the paint. then i pulled it into the garage for the night, and prepared all my materials. few days later, when it was warm enough, i claybared it. man there was so much crap in the paint that it used up 1/2 of my entire bar! ive done 3 other cars on that bar, and this one just used it up in one go. but it came out nice and smooth, smooth as oxidized paint can be (still feels like 1500 grit sand paper). after that, it was time to tape! this is the most important part, taping off everything. the compounds are really nasty, and i dont what that shit all over the trim, its so difficult to get off and if you dont tape off the crevasses, really hard to get it all out and just looks amateur. after i got that done, it was time to hit it with the first compound, which is really gritty, some nice heavy duty stuff. i also used a really dense foam (this is all done with a PC DA btw) because the paint is 70% oxidization (especially the hood). this is just after the first compound: 50/50 shots: 50/50 halogen before: After: it was getting late, but i finished 5/8ths of the roof as well, here are some 50/50s: ill get some better shots when its complete. I still have 2 more compounds to do, a lotion, and waxing. i will also be doing the bay, but just a fast detailing because i dont tend to pop my hood often. should come out looking good. if you like what you see, stay tuned.

you get this at the PnP up in Modesto?

ha, for the most part. got the stuff off. broke the rear DATSUN badge tabs, ut ill just rig something up till i find a new one. other than that, very easy. the pictures from Dguy210 helped, thank you.

okay, so all the things i mentioned are NOT GLUED. thats good. when i removed the hatch it still had the plastic film, and im reluctant to break it's seal, but i can just tape it back up. drivers side should be easy, the clips are right there: but the passenger side has whatever gas related thingy this is, in the way, but i think i can each it still, just not as easily:
