My car is just rusty...simple as that :)

Here what guys.i will sell the car to anyone on ratsun for 500 firm.LOCAL ONLY.

83' Maxima wagon 800$!!! http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/3968126588.html

Thanks for your consideration guys, but I don't think rust converter will solve my problems lol.im still debating on selling the car.

I really don't want to junk it.i don't need to get rid of it so if It doesn't sell I will be keeping it. I want someone else to enjoy this car.

I didn't lose interest,I bought the car with intensions of spending a little money to make it a comfortable daily driver. The amount of rust on the undercarriage is to much for me to spend behind it. Remember I'm a kid without a job,but I WILL get another datsun!

the car is now for sale :( http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/3968126588.html http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/item/1010-1983-maxima-wagon/

its not very hard and I have fairly detailed plans in my build thread if you decide to do that. can you link me to your build thread?

It's a 4 speed.The underside from what i see is in a pretty bad shape.It was parked in the snow for a while when it was in Wisconsin.I'll try to post some pics of the bottom. I guess the cool guys dont need a center console lol.

I'm not sure if the 84' center console works but i'll look into it

Lol...i was just playing about the wire tuck thing.My dad does wire tucks and stuff like that on most of his cars so having a car this dirty in the engine bay is kind of weird for me. I will eventually clean up the engine and make it look all pretty.

Today my dad, and I bought my first car, an '83 maxima wagon(910). Under this thread, I will post pictures and updates on what is going on with the car for the next few months.The body of the car is pretty strait and paint is decent the car has ALOT of rust,but you ratsun guys like that stuff. The interior is all there and is cleaning up very good.The engine starts fairly easy considering it has been parked in the weather for the last four years.It has a few leaks here and there but a few runs to local parts place and it should be good. The car was an original Texas car and then the owner migrated to Wisconsin where it spent 20 plus years, The car was general well taken care of but the passage of time was not kind to it. The car was a daily driver so it bore the brunt of the winter abuse and this is very evident.... The current plans include a full clean up of the interior, access the extent of the rust, get the engine back to running /driving status, brakes, then suspension. The engine starts and the tranny goes into first gear and reverse exceptionally well-no hesitation, the coolant looks fresh, power steering works,. The issues with the car are ,extreme rust, rotted exhaust, leaking fuel line, non-functioning brakes, door lock mechanisms are seized, power windows need servicing, The good news is the wiring in the car looks like new and no one has messed with the car since it was assembled so very good start. If the rust does not turn out to to be a structural threat....this will be a definite daily again. So stay tuned for updates and pics. This is also the second Datsun currently being worked on as my brother has an 82 datsun 210 under construction. When i first saw it. You probably cant see it, but it has moss and dirt on the entire car At least it came with rims. lol The previous owner did a pretty good wire tuck We reached home pretty late so i couldn't really mess with it...I went to sleep like a kid on Christmas eve.The next morning i started cleaning it. Notice my bro's 210 in the back The interior was DIRTY...but after a few passes of the vacuum the inside started looking really nice considering i didn't spend a dime on it yet. The only thing i need for the inside will be the center console Now for a few pics of the rust And yes the sun roof works....praise the lord for PB blaster If you want to drive with the sunroof open,you gotta bring a poncho and get a tetanus shot
