Recommended Posts

Okay -

 

I need a Ratty Datto in my life. Ever since my '68 Rat was damaged and subsequently sold I have missed it dearly.

I have very nice Datsuns; the MX520 and a soon to be VERY Nice 2 door 510 that the510keeper is prepping.

 

I NEED a Rat!

 

So today I bought this . . . "The Rat Coupe"

I'm going to do a similar build to the '68 Rat I built. Then just drive the S*#T out of it!

 

 

 

 

These wheels are for sale.

The wheels are 13 x 7 and they have a big fat lip!

 

The tires are new never driven on but a few years old. Front & Rear BFG Radial T/A

Front 195-50-13 Rear 215-50-13

 

Price? I don't know how is $450 plus shipping?

I've been eyeballing this datsun for a while! I tried to get my roomate's girlfriend to buy it but oh well glad it got into good hands can't wait to see how it turns out. I would trade my car for it in a heartbeat haha. Might consider the wheels but Idk how they would go with my CVCC

The guy I bought it from must have used it as a table for a lot of painting :devil: there is BAD over-spray all over it! :mad:

 

What a pain in the ass! I've been using a clay bar to get it off.

Oh - and I picked up some old school 280zx wheels today! I think they are perfect for this car. I need to get some tires ordered.
