1980 Datsun 310 GX review from North America

I have only had the car a couple months, but nothing has gone wrong with it yet.

-> It needs new shocks and springs - I knew this when I bought it.

-> The blinkers don't work (the light doesn't blink and theirs no blinker click) - I think it's a fuse issue.

My 310 is in absolutely outstanding condition. I bought it from a 70 year old women who's husband had just passed away. Her husband bought it brand new in 1981 and they've owned it EVER SINCE. The condition (considering its age) is impeccable. It is the original cream paint from the factory and with the exception pf an almost invisible dent on the hood, and a small poorly repaired dent near the gas tank it is almost perfect. The weather stripping above the door along the roof line is cracked (yes, I'm digging for complaints). The bumpers are in perfect condition as are the original aluminum wheels. I plan on getting the wheels polished and taking off the pinstripes because they're peeling at the back and just look cheesy. When I replace the shocks I am going to lower it about an inch and a half, but other than that and window tint it is going to be unchanged. It's a nice, clean, <i>classic</i> Nissan and its going to stay that way.
