510 rust,the battery tray and sills are first to go

every 510 in australia has rust somewhere. the battery tray on the left inner guard goes first cos of acid spillage. the sills rot from the inside where water gets trapped. the floor pans around the seat rails are next. then the boot floor. check all of these before buying. repair panels are available from overseas but the shipping kills you. a local panel beater who knows datsuns is worth their weight in gold. ive seen clean looking 510s that needed $10k in metalwork once you started peeling back the carpet.
