Hey all,

I'll get some pics up in the next day or two, but I'm now the very very proud owner of a Nissan 200B... Well, Datsun/Nissan.... sounds better as a Nissan though.

So, whats under the hood? Well, shes actually stock as a rock, and has as total of 67500 kms, and thats no typo. Even has the stocker hubcaps and everything works. No cracks in the dash - its like going back to about 1982. Was going to use it as a runabout, but its kinda too nice for that.

Am actually considering selling it on, there must be somone who want one of these things in good nick. ??

Either way, I'll be looking for a GTR soon. :D

I paid $1500 with 8 months rego, newish tyres, parts (including a boss kit which I had a wheel for) and a full tank of feul :D

Given the condition, I was happy enough with that, all the other runabouts I was looking at were the $3500 - $4000 range.

So, its a 1980 200B GX, with brown cloth and white paint. 4 speed manual. Been in the one family for ever, (since new) never had a young driver I don't think. Only issue is the glovebox is cracked and stuck shut - was going to find one at a wreckers.

Its got a full history, and yeah. I can't imagine finding another one like it. I'll give it a wash over the weekend and post some pics up for ya's :( Even the hubcaps (which I took straight off!) only have one with minor gutter rash, the others are all perfect.

Stupid :P

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
