Hey Datto7, thanks for that, keep me posted, I appreciate it very much, anything you need from the US, just say it. I will show pixes of my B210 (soon a real 120Y) as soon as the additions come in.
About the car, yeas, fortunately the guilty party is going to take care of it. This time around I will make sure a good body shop will get my door back to what it was, a door(not a "bag", now it looks like a wrinkled paper bag!!!). Years ago a old lady hit my parked jeep, and tore off badly the rear bumper. I went to a good body shop, got an estimate and the insurance paid, but a "friend" of mine told me to go to his buddy's shop. Well, those busters all they did was use bondo like a toddler using plasteline in kindergarten!
A year after, upon raising the suspension of that Jeep, I had to cut a piece of the rear bumper to allow the shackles more area to move backwards, and upon cutting the bumper(a small piece, or so I intended)...with the powertool, a smell like donut/brownies cooking started floating around, what is that? I said to myself!, well, the car answered it for me, a piece of baked bondo fell off my Jeepo's bumper, and this idiots' t that pichi garage/body shop never fixed up anything, they just plastered the car like a clay statue, man, I could not believe it, and off course, that ghost shop was already packed and gone, moved into another location, probably making money off other bonks like me...GRRRRRRR!!!
...They would make more money, and honest money, opening a bakery!!!!!!!

Hy Leo, it's been a while, thanks for the offer, I will call you and find out, those bumpers make the car look much nicer, I agree about dorks, that is why I park away from crowds, I do not care if I have to walk 2 blocks, but I avoid mall parallel parking and crowded streets. Those 5mph bumpers are sturdy, but my concience will not allow me to live in piece , it is just a case of doing what I want or doing what must be right, I will go for the small bumpers, I've been bumperless for several years now, lucky me nothing happened. On the contrary, yesterday as I came out of Torrance library (checking the internet), as i walked to my car(across the street, like I said, avoid parallel parking), 610, enjoying it's look, I saw in horror my driver side door, all smashwed up! Man! I saw red, I was ready to take on a rottweiler baretoothed and beat him up! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Well, I was so bummed that I remained motionless for about 5 min, brainstorming out, when , how , why, who??????
....untill I realized that ding(it was no ding, it was a DONG!!!) was not there before, and asked a guy in a house about it, he was really nervous and said, well, let me ask my wife, and he run away, ...well, I went on and talked to another person watering the lawn, and he said he did not see anything, as I walked back to my car, looking cool as a piece of ice, but melting inside like a dormant volcano, I realised the way it could only had happened, somebody backed off a driveway and hit my door in, and the nervous guy's home was right there, and a utility truck parked with its's tail inside, suspicious enough(park mode plus owners attitude), so I went again and talked to the guy, he came out, and I told him(made that up to force him to say something) your neighbor told me some cars came out of this driveway, and that he saw some contact happening, to what he said again, "let me ask my wife, she is supposed to be out here"...
...then he said, "my wife says she might have done it, but she does not remember"...
...ya right , so I say, let's check out your truck, and , on his passenger side rear bumper corner was my orange 610 signature, it was his wife who did it, and he knew it, they parked the car rear in to keep me from seing, and expected me to just drive away. Well, to make it short, I got a hold of his insurance, so he will report it and I will take it to a shop(got an estimate from performance body shop in Lomita BLVD, Torrance) I want it fixed, I want no cheapo money nor bondo job, I want it back to what it was, pristine door.
Well, all I can say is that my enthusiasm for my Datsuns saved me, I like parking my car (s) far away, so when I go back to it, I can see it from far, and that allowed me to see the damage. It hurt me more than it hurt the car, but at least I got the culprit. When it comes to my cars, I become a Neanderthal man!, do not mess with it, my Neanderthal blood comes out as hulk's green blood does!

Matt, thanks for the parts help, thanks for your support.

Jaime,
I have a Fed-Ex account...They picked up my new front bumper with brackets, and a few other parts from Australia...they arrived in less than a week!
Excellent service...quicker than the local UPS shipping within the USA!
You might want to consider opening an account...if you like e-mail me or call me and perhaps I can help you with shipping.
I on the other hand wouldn't trade my 5 mph bumpers for anything in the world!! I love them...Obviously ...people must be able to park in the Long Beach area...because over here in Los Angeles...you need those big bumpers from having stupid people bashing your car as they attempt to park those big SUVs and the big trucks ...Another reason I love those big bumpers...they helped me push my friends car down the road without any damage to my vehicle!!

Well, I keep my fingers crossed, and in case, there is also a cheaper alternative, by sea(cargo ships), takes a few weeks, but it arrives, and cheaper.
My B210 with that grill, bumpers,man...........................!!!!

I don't know ... a 1200 sedan grille shipped from US to Australia or New Zealand would only be $28 USD via US Postal Service. Assuming that the box weighs less than 10 lbs. However, a coupe grille is too wide, as USPS package limit is 42".

Would shipping the reverse direction cost that much more?

Thanks dude,I sent you a PM.
I will not rest in peace up untill my 120Y has the proper bumpers in place. If I was to die today, I might become the "120Y ghost"...do not want that to happen

I can have a look for the parts you need but heck to send them to the States would cost a 120Y on its own!!!!!!!!!!!
PM me if you still want tolook into getting them parts.

Hy. I would like the front and rear bumpers(mine is a coupe , if yours is a sedan, at least the front bumper will work).Also the brackets that hold it in place, and the marker lights(front bumper).
Also, the front grill, there is one kind of grill I am after, the one with no round orange marking lights within, if you want to make sure, I can send you a pix of it.
Also, I do not know if that is a part that can be separated, I need the rear apron, area behind the rear bumper, my car does not have that part. That is an extra, but bumpers and grill are definately in my list.
You can e/mail me or sent a personal message, and/or respond here in the posting.
