As they only did 20, Datsun obviously didn't like it as a material? It is not that they did not like the material, but that they wanted to mass-produce it, which with fiberglass was very difficult.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-04-10 19:32	Gongora wrote Do Datsuns have a tendency to corrosion?. I had a 1979 180B estate. It rotted almost as fast as my 1976 Renault 20. My 2018 Mercédès C-class estate has no visible rust, neither did my 2012 car when I swapped it at 6 years old. Anyone who drove throughout the late 60s, and the 70s, 80s and early 90s as I have will tell you about the dreaded tin worm! The one thing that you could rely upon with most of the Japanese cars from that era, however, was the quality of the mechanics. Bombproof. I had a lot of different cars from the 1970 to 1990 period as my family circumstances changed, firm’s cars bought for me new, and well used cars bought with my own money. If I was asked which car I would now like to replicate, as a brand new “time-warp” example, I would have to say my 1979 Ford Cortina MkV 2.0GL estate. Bought used for not a huge amount it was a brilliant car for a hard up bloke with a family and a house to pay for. -- Last edit: 2022-04-10 20:04:57
Gongora ◊ 2022-04-10 22:22	Oh but rust on cars from the 70's is something common in all brands... I don't know what the drop in quality was at that time. In Spain we noticed it in the Seats... A 1400 from the 50s or 60s had excellent finishes... On the other hand, the 127 from 1977 was a terrible quality pileup
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-04-10 23:49	The main drop in quality was caused by the use of steel that was sub standard, and the complete lack of rust protection inside box sections like sills and chassis longerons. As for the 1970s, I had one of the worst rot boxes of all, a 1958 Vauxhall Victor Series F.
