Gday from the land of Oztralia .... I just picked up a VB10 Wagon a few days ago with the help a very nice bloke 
and finally got some pictures together. Needs fair bit of work, but could be a heap wearse. Fairly new to restoring though a long time datsun fan.
On the good side the engine is a runner and seems ok besides the exhaust is falling off the headers ... all the chrome is there from what i know anyway, same for seats and door cards. The bloke i got it off had a external resistor for it, grabbed a bosch gt40t and that sorted it out.
As for the bad the driver side floor is gone, big crack in front windshield (he offered a replacement for $100aud ... is that a decent price?) some bog suprises i'm yet to uncover and it needs new headlamps (is that what you call them soz) the square ones under the headlights on the front ........ and a rear l/h tail light lense.
As for modifications etc i'm not sure as yet, got a spare a12 in my 120y which could be wearth a look into, would the wagon be the same deal as the ute conversion? Saw one person at least has done that here. Other than that ... fender mirrors, move the seat back so i can actually fit in, lower it some or at least get the back level with the front, find hubcaps or some rims, fresh coat of paint and some polish .. nothing too major.
This guy here does a decent brake conversion i was planning to look into "GE sigma gear and 1200 dual res master cyl"

Will get some more pics up as i progress .... need to make room in the garage before i can start removing bog/paint etc ... damn surface rust
Take care for now folks. Cheers for the cool site
