we started pulling down the suspensions, axle, and all under chassis parts to the determine which ones need new replacements. Parts that were in good condition was sent for sandblasting and powder coating, while rubber bushings, shock absorbers, and tie rods will be replaced with new ones. I did not have much problem in getting mechanical parts.
after a few weeks i saw another ad in the net and someone was selling a pair. He told me that he sold his car without this mirror. we met up in Sta. Rosa around 40min drive from our place without traffic. (in the Philippines we gauge distance by the number of hours because of too much traffic jams) I waited in an intersection until He finally came with his 1979 Mitsubishi Lancer. Here's Mike with my BULLET TYPE FENDER MIRRORS. a few days later i sold the wrong pair and got less for the price i got.
bullet type murakami fender mirrors was my choice but i cant find a pair so i bought from store a left mirror and the right from a web seller. this is what i got! i didn't realize that they were two different kinds.

i will check if there is any, coz im sure it was not released here. we didn't have any b110, b310, or b10 or any old sunnies that were sold from the dealership.
i started looking for parts. since it is hard to look for new ones, i went to visit a surplus shop to check if i can scavenge something. Lucky, I was able to acquire a complete dash with all the guages and covers.
so this will mean i should use all sunny badges on the grill and steering wheel, not the D or datsun and will leave the tailgate blank (no badges or sticker?) will that keep my look within the 78-81 range? i also have a datsun 1200 script emblem for the tail gate, but i dont want to mix up things so im making sure. thanks ddgonzal
