coffin nail Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 so traded a custom built AR10 rifle for a running driving stick shift 76 Datsun z with 60k miles and plenty of rust its been sitting in some dudes garage since 98 but i got it running and drove it 84 miles to my house. this is not gonna be some slick clean ride its gonna be a fast and dirty fun drivers car with lots of custom weird crap built from my own head. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Those odometers only go to 99,999 and then roll over. Could be 160,000. Look at high wear items like the brake pedal pad, gas pedal, steering wheel and drivers door arm rest and seat. That's a lot of paint wear for 18K and then sitting in a garage. At 60k it would have the stock exhaust system without any muffler clamps. Just fix it and enjoy driving it. 1 Quote Link to comment
coffin nail Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 pedal pads were not worn much the stock exhaust was intact still had the original fuel filter the driver seat wasn't even cracked much. all the interior was in good shape except the dash which is cracked from the sun Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Get a zx if you're going to do that. When your luck runs out you'll have spare parts for this one. Quote Link to comment
coffin nail Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 yeh it looks way better with the diving board bumpers removed and that 80s window tint was terrible you cant see it in the pics much cause i had to keep the windows down to see out while driving today i stripped out the dash and will be fixing the cracks and i am vinegaring the gas tank and adding redkote i also made deletes for all the holes in the dash once the climate control and radio stuff is gone Quote Link to comment
