Update time!! New Altenator, regulator, blinker relays, and lights and shes my daily driver :) Been lots of fun so far!! In the process of slowly trying to do some bodywork prep for when I get it painted and then also locating an interior. I plan on keeping it until I got it partially restored then hopefully selling it and getting into a 260 :devil:

Its been too long but finally here is an update! Got fresh Gas in it and it runs pretty well now. Did a walk around and discovered that my blinkers didn't work so I checked the bulbs and they are good. Considering I have brake lights I assumed that the fuses are still good since they light up so that leaves it down to the relay. But I have no idea how to check it so I might just go see how much new ones are. Then my bigger problem at the moment is that my charging system isn't working. We had to re-thread the alternator since it wouldn't stay in place due to a crappy bolt. But when that was done we checked it and thats not the problem. it was pumping out around 14 volts I believe. So next in the chain is the regulator, I bought a new one put it in and it worked at idle but when I revved it the thing went out and we went back to not charging at all. So currently I am looking for a wiring diagram to check my wiring against. So that currently is how she sits mechanically. Interior wise i have pulled everything out but the front seats (Which are welded in) and the dash. I found some surface rust and plan on grinding it down and painting it over then leaving it bare until I can find a full interior set.Although I did fabricate a quick little door panel for it. Then lastly my trunk floor is rotted out and will have to be replaced. I was able to track down where the water was entering though and I got that all patched up! So progress is slow between work and family life but its slowly but surely getting done. I sanded away some surface rust and laid down some primer/rust preventer and then painted over it with black

So it's finally home and it runs!! Once we got the carb set and had it running smooth my uncle told me it wasn't stock. Most likely is running a camshaft in it. As for the transmission and gears I don't know yet. Been working the whole weekend so I haven't had that much time to investigate. I will update you all as I find out!

Thanks man! And I think I will,be keeping this one though and I know what it feels like to drive a gas hog. My daily this winter was a 67 F250 that gets 7 miles per gallon. Right now I'm thinking that I just want to put the Labour into it over the summer then have a cool little run around.

Haha reminds me of the show Roadkill! Speaking of which Roadkill is currently dropping a hellcat motor in the charger!!

I figured asking here wouldn't hurt even though it isn't a mopar forum.

That would be this year I believe

So I came across this 74 Plymouth Scamp for sale and was able to pick it up for $900 I was wondering if any of y'all had some know how and could help me out. We were looking around and found it has an 318 with a Carter Competition 4 Barrel in it, front disc brakes, rear air shocks, and the AC deleted. According to a sticker on the window it was Drag Raced in 97 and so far the evidence supports it. The body has some rust where the vinyl top used to be but that is it. Underneath there is no rust. Then the windshield molding needs to be replaced due to it leaking. That led to surface rust on the floor boards but they are solid! If anyone has some pointers or things to help out with that would be greatly appreciated! And to the Mods I didn't quite know where to put this since it isn't a Datsun. So feel free to move it or do what you wish, or if y'all want updates let me know. Thanks Rxacer

Any stickers?

fritzdixxon I orginally planned on putting it on here first then replicating it on different forums and such. And the reason I choose datsun first was because of the people here. I know you all work your ass off and help others out when you can. So I wanted to see your reaction to a kid basically just asking for money. Thank,you for the advice! As for everyone else that helped out thanks for the feedback and I'm sorry to those that I offended by doing this.

So here's the deal, I was running a social experiment for my psychology class. In today's society a lot of young people are seen as people with no drive and dependent on others for everything. So my idea was to prove it this was true or not. So I created the go fund me and posted it up here on Ratsun to see what reactions I would get. True to what it's seen I was seen as a young kid asking for a handout. I was going to leave this up longer but I don't want to offend you guys. This is a great resource for info and I would rather not be banned lol. Datzenmike I can't agree with you more on this, to truly appreciate something you have to work for it otherwise it means nothing. Once again thanks for the feedback

Okay thanks for the feedback. I know that it came across as begging for money but that isn't my intention. I was curious as to what peoples response would be and y'all proved to be a good test group lol. Anyways thanks for the read at least and Goodluck with your builds and I will just go back to cruising the forum lol

Hi guys and gals, My names Jeremy and I am running a Go Fund Me campaign to help me acquire another Datsun Z (gofundme.com/vn5z3d5) I had one this last summer and loved it but there was problems, the head gasket was blown and the frame rails were rusted out so I sadly had to sell it because that was too much of a project at the time. Ever since that summer I have been wanting another Datsun. I am currently working at a retirement home outside of school to make it a reality but I figured why not ask other people if they would want to donate to the cause. I may be crazy for trying this but its worth a shot. Thanks for your time and let me know what you think! Good or bad I wouldn't mind feedback or advice for the future.
