I would like to express my hatred to you, for find a nice Z-car with low rust.

I have been locking for a long fucking time and no luck and no cash.

But I'll have to keep checking this thread for your build update, be envious and still hate ya at the same.

well it was on craigslist in minneapolis, called the guy (around 55 with some cool cars allready restored and lived in a nice house.)he wanted 3000, i said how much without rims(some 17's) he says 2500 i have him send me underside pics i see some shit i didnt like but i can fix for cheap. i ask him how low will he go. he says 2000, i go look at it with a trailer and intents on buying it, i look it over it doesnt run well, something simple but has a lot of new parts and rebuilt engine. so i tell him i dont want to lowball him knowing that he has a lot into it at this point, he wants me to throw a number, and i said i dont want to be an ass. so i leave and i tell him i will call him my phone fucks up i lose his humber he calls me in the afternoon and asks me what i will pay for it i said 500, he says i can get about 650 if i donate it out of taxes or some shit so we settle i go back up a month later and get it. thats how you get a datsun for 650 bucks... haha
well i wish i had an update but i dont i will soon i hope garage ceiling is almost in!

How do you like the Mr.Heater 75K? I am looking @ the 45k or 75k for my measley 500 sq ft garage

PS - love the Z car

HiProfile · « **Reply #9 on:** November 02, 2011, 05:19:15 PM »

If it's insulated any bit and it's a heat exchanger type vs open flame, 45k will be fine.

jarebear667 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 03, 2011, 08:41:57 AM »

FOUND THIS IN IT!! from 1976 copy right

so im undecided on the engine and shit the guy hasnt gotten it out of storage and its going to snow so i might not get it until spring, but i dont care i might run with the one thats in it for fun! and DD the car as the rails are in tough shape! but i just want to drive it haha.
last week i bought 4 piston brakes from 4x4 toyota truck and 300zx vented rotors and now im on the hunt for a spacer to space the rotor 9 mm.
and bought some 235/45/17 nitto nt555 and 255/40/17 nt555's for the girl and some rota rb's i work at a shop and keep track of inventory on the tires goodyear firestone and all those brands in between, and got a good deal on rubber and the rims too

bought flare too haha idk if i love them but i like the looks of them all together.

rims are 17x8.5 all four corners +4 offset got them for 650 shipped new from 18-racing.com

front rim and new brakes only 10.8 inch but too caliper and now a vented setup.
saving up for wilwood 1" master. or a 15/16s idk where i want to go with that yet.

i will get rollin on the body work sometime here trying to figet out how ghetto i want to be..

Oh secksay!

Boost that L and i'm sure you'll be very happy with it BUT my inner hustler says you can flip that and the tranny for a good bit. ESPECIALLY if it's been rebuilt with paperwork....but you already know that.

jarebear667 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 01, 2011, 07:24:13 PM »

I'm going to rock it asisfor now but I'm going to start body work soon.

jarebear667 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2012, 09:04:05 AM »

well i havnt worked on this at all since i bought a house and have been doing a couple of builders to get some extra cash and with work and all that shit, so the other night i started cutting out the rust and found way to much so im going to be parting it out to get some of my money back and i bought a 68 international scout haha idk why i use to have one and wanted one again. and the body is cleaner than the rusty as datsun..

so if you know of anyone wanting parts let me know

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2012, 03:15:39 PM »

NoPistons! · « **Reply #19 on:** June 02, 2012, 06:37:17 AM »
