So I have recently purchased another SSS Stanza, which I have named Rusty (free internet cookie for anyone who can guess why
). It was advertised for $600, bought for $400. Was orginally going to be a parts car due to fairly bad rust, however after receiving it, I have decided I am going to restore the old girl instead. The rust is a little on the bad side but well and truly savable. On top of this, it is in almost completely original condition (the only additions being a towbar - god knows why, a chrome exhaust tip, and of course consumables/bits that wear eg fuel pump, coil, radiator etc). It is absolutely complete, only 200k km on it, and comes with original Datsun mudflaps!!
Also, it cost around $2k to get it from Bendigo to Tamworth (freight from Bendigo to Sydney was insanely, ridiculously, stupidly complex, and I had to pay $600 for someone to recondition an absolutely rooted carburettor which someone had"fixed" so it could drive onto the semi :/ )., which is an insanely expensive parts car...
Anyway, I shall let the pictures do the talking! Progress will be slow due to money, HSC, etc however I shall update this with any progress I make.
