New to NICO

[610StaWag]

I am restoring (for the past four years) my wife's WPL610 (made 9/72, sold as 1973). I re-painted in original #019 single-stage. I would like to post photos of the project. Can I use FLICKER to insert my photos? Do you have a photo limit? I have done this (posting photos) quite successfully in Ratsun.

I have finished the exterior appearance, and I am part-way through the interior and the electrical. I have contacted both Nissan Japan and USA, but I have been unable to find a complete wiring diagram. I note that fairly recently NICO had a post that mentioned a 610 that was in a junk yard type of setting. Please if anyone knows of a junkyardish 610, please let me know.

Thank you for giving Datsun owners a place to meet.

Donald

ps, Can there be a forum for "All other Datsun models"?

WELCOME TO NICO!
Can't wait to see that ride.
You can definitely use flicker to insert photos for sure, use the tags [img]insert%20photo%20address%20here[/img]
To get the address, right click on your photo and use "copy image location," assuming you're using firefox.

I wanted to post photos of the Datsun 610 project. I tried to insert a Flickerized jpg into my post. When I inserted the Flicker image code (that uses a url) a prompt came up that stated I could not insert a url. A url is part of the Flicker code. Could someone instruct me as to how to insert a jpg image using Flicker? Thank you.

Your image posting issue is due to being a new member. I have changed your status, so you should be able to post links.

Don't want those new troll members to post nyan cat all over the place, do we?

I tried again to submit a photo by inserting the Flicker BBCode this morning after being advised that my new member status has been updated, but I still get a message that states that urls are not allowed, despite showing up in the "post a reply" preview box.

Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions on how to post a photo using Flicker that will be accepted? For example, am I supposed to click on the top img button or the url button or any of the "Options" (listed at the bottom of this text box)?

Thanks

Above is a photo of my 1973 Datsun 610: The Project Begins, showing it from body word to primer stage. Thanks for your patience.

I was finally able to post the above photo collage when I did not enter any text. Now I will try doing both. I left the 610 uncovered in the back yard for many years. Now that I am retired I have been working on it. Yes, there was a fair amount of body panel reshaping so that body filler thickness was minimal.

To paint the car (see photos below) I used catalyzed primer, followed by single-stage Nason paint (DuPont, I think) in the original 019 yellow. For the final finish work I used 2000, 2500, 3000 and 5000 abrasives followed by the three-part Perfect-It system of polishes by 3M. I have not yet used the 3M hand glaze and Synwax. I just finished undercoating three of the wheel wells with 3M 08883. If anyone thinks that this stuff doesn’t stick, just get some little specks on your skin!

Should I put my future posts and photos in a specific Datsun section of NICO?
