got two 9-5s but hubby is helping me alot.
yes im trying to do the whole cars weather stripping it really needs it. it all dry and cracked.
found the vent window handles through a fellow at datsunparts.com
his name is dean. the ones he has are for older models but fit this car.
so why not. he has a ton of hard to find parts.

thanks linda,

i really like the white too...................

Kinda funny to see you post here and your hubby post on Ratsun.

Yeah, my car came from California. Every seal that isn't missing is dryrotted to hell and back, so I'll be replacing everything eventually -- bigger fish to fry.

Yep, I've purchased several items from Dean. Didn't think to ask about wing window handles....DOH!

hey pete

that is right he is addicted to ratsun forum and belongs to the southwest datsun pickup club. im also on ratsun under myfairlady .what is your user name on ratsun?, i figured out if he likes working on datsuns so much, i should get something out of it instead of being a datsun widow and get him to fix me one up lol.

Yeah, Ratsun is habit forming. I hit email/mail lists first, then here, and then Ratsun. I'm ppeters914 there, too. I'd probably get a lot more done if I stayed away from the computer more.

you said it ratsun is habit forming, everything new on there i hear about it , it is amazing how many people are into datsuns, like i said if you can't beat them join them. now we enjoy working on roadster together. we finally got the vent windows done, that was a job, now working on door panels, and hubby working on the rims. making them the same color has the body what a difference. im taking her into a local car show saturday, not to win but see the reaction on peoples faces when they see our three datsuns, will post some pics. christine

could not resist

took her out last weekend to the fbc car show had a blast!!!!!!!

The white one is down for the winter. Planned roll out????? When the weather gets good or sooner.
Engine and tranny coming out. Engines strong but the tranny will be replaced with a 4 or maybe 5 speed. While thats out the engine bay and belly will be redone.
All hydraulics will be redone along with front and rear brakes.

It's gonna be a lot of work, but she's gonna pull out of the garrage a whole lot better.

New post coming soon.

well, keep us posted on your repairs. i have a two page list of items that have been repaired or replaced so far and far from being done. take care

I know that feeling. I took a break from the forums for a few weeks, Boy, did I have alot of spare time.

I have to agree white cars are my favorite too....

i will be taking the roadster out datsun heritage museum tomorow, all datsuns pre-78 are welcome to join. this will be a toy drive for needy children. alot of folks are planning on being there and will be caravaning there.
