An addition to the collection.

Post by Primm69 »

I've just come off 3 12 hour nights, but I had to stay up to see our baby arrive this morning!

She (he?) is a 1965 Nissan Cedric. We have a 64 wagon, but when we pulled up the carpets to do a quick "spray and dash" prior to getting her back on the road, the floors fell apart. Whoops!

So this is our replacement family car. Will be a nice change from the 1996 Taurus we have going at the moment. The best part? The price - she was free! Well, we paid to ship her from down south but that's all.

She's in stunningly original condition. Still has the plastic protective cover on the seats, footwell and the inner pillar. The odo reads 53,000, and I know these babies only go up to 99,999, but I'm pretty sure by the look of her that she hasn't been round the clock yet.

A quick coat of paint, some work on the clutch and brakes, and she's away. And all the space in the world to add an aftermarket air conditioner under the bonnet...

I know! I seriously contemplated just getting her on the road and leaving the paint etc. for a while, but A wants to do it now. The Taurus is falling apart, and we need a reliable family mobile.

No... the wheels are on the corners, same as any other car. :smt005 Except maybe a Reliant Robin cos it only has 3 wheels!

Ruth,

I've seen you guys rebuild on the 65......so it's your fault as well. That Cedric should be a slice of pie....or is it a piece of cake?

the white one is sooooooo close (68)(Topic- Intro 'I'm Bitten')......the boys and me are installing the big stuff this Sat...... and dammit, we're gonna bloody well run er! srry....to many D words

the 64 is next....i'm planning on documenting it as well as yours.....but dammit.....it's hard to film and do the work too........wish me luck
