1968 Datsun 1000 wagon ( VB10 )

Worked to the shitter a12

standard carby

4 speed

Retrimmed seats

Shitty blue paint colour

everything works


in the spare bank i have:

spare worked a15 (cam, etc etc)

spare 4 speed

spare diff

3 x doors

3 x guards

chrome strips galore

spare indicators

spare tail lights

spare bumpers

2 x bonnets

And miscellaneous other bits (the back of the van is completely filled up with shit)


plans are to get it resprayed asap, most of the work has been done body wise, just a few areas need going over and filling.


colourwise it is getting repainted in an off white colour.


anyway pics:

looks pretty straight got any other plans for it?

yep still licenced dundee will be on the road driving a fair bit more once it's painted, til then its sitting dormant on the front lawn getting a once over with some filler and primer.

just out of interest, you wouldnt happen to have a spare decent condition front apron panel (the one behind the bumper) would you? mine is a little beyond repair so i think a cleaner base might be in order.

did a bit of body work today, might put some pics up later.

also does anyone know where to find complete rubber kits for a vb10? im having no luck

at this moment, other plans include lowering it a little, putting on some nice watanabes or hayashi streets, and then drive it as much as i can.
i have been a corolla guy in the past, owning 86's, ke70's and ke20's so im a little new to the datsun side of things.

Heya Todd,
I think i have a front apron off the car already,can't remember how good it is..
might not be as bad as yours..

sorry for this noob question boys but what stud pattern are on the 1000s??are they a 114.4 x 4??

Todd.   "also does anyone know where to find complete rubber kits for a vb10? im having no luck "

Unfortunatley 1000's are hard to find parts for.
I was looking at the Mad dat store the other day and saw that they were thinking of doing bushes for 1000's.
Im not sure how much this will cover. But I hope that it comes soon anyway.

Other than that it is the usual story for finding parts.
Asking other 1000 owners for help with parts, ebay, Yahoo Auctions and other places like that.
Alot of parts are still around. If you wait long enough, and check regularly it pops up eventualy.

ah sorry guys, my bushes have already been replaced, i meant to say window rubbers, not suspension rubbers

my bad haha

I think Rare spares do window rubbers.
also American auto parts, spectrum rubber and scotts old auto rubber.

Im not sure who is best on price.
