The most of the body was intact. Some minor rust on the wheel arches and inside the wheel wells. No badges were missing either!

Kori oli erittäin hyvässä kunnossa. Vähän ruostetta pyöränkaarissa. Kaikki merkit tallella!

A Faulty Ventilation Blower / Tuulettimen ykkösnopeus ei toimi

Previous owner reported that the ventilator blower’s slow speed was not operating. That was true, there was only silence or full blow. I checked that the speed selector was working and that the blower motor was getting electricity from the battery. What I found out was that the resistor, which actually creates the slow speed setting, was dead.

So off came the resistor. That happened pretty easily. There is a groove for a flat-blade screwdriver to pry. With small amount of force the two clips came off. No wonder nothing going through the resistor. Where once was a screw, was a tidy coil end and a copper connector. This one was an easy fix.

Eipä toiminut 120Y:n tuulettimen ykkösnopeus. Vaihtoehtoina oli täysi hiljaisuus tai kunnon puhuri. Esivastus oli mykkä ja paljastui, että sieltä oli käämin kiinnitysruuvi sanonut sopimuksen irti. Helppo korjaus ja nyt toimii myös hiljaisempi tuuletus.

Datsun 120Y (B210) Interior / Sisäkuvia

The interior was in mint condition. No cracks or cuts in the dash, seats or door cards. The only marks of wear and tear of the past years were visible on the front seats. Seats must be repaired and the source of the bad smell identified.

The Start of a New Project / Uusi projekti - Datsun 120Y - 1974

And here it is! Newly purchased Datsun 120Y is standing in the shade on its way to my garage. This picture was taken roughly two years ago somewhere in Central Finland when I was driving it back home. The trip went well, no issues. I was kind of surprised by that since couple of times I was driving like a lunatic on the highway. It was quite peppy for a 1200 cc four banger.

I decided to go for this low mileage 1974  LB210 two door sedan for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was in an unbelievable good condition, secondly all of my preconditions for the next car were met and thirdly this happy looking orange little car needed a new home – and a good one.

Of course for an over 40 years old car, there were some issues. Like an odd smell inside, some bad paint here and there, broken front seats and noisy rear end. Really no big issues. More pictures and stories coming up soon!
