  1. ive gotta add to this tread, this story high key gave me chills because its a lot similar to mine.not as long but a lot similar. dad had a z for a number of years and growing up watching the restoration made me fall in love with it, driving with it didn't do much for me except put me a couple grand in debt but i love this man, id love to see more pics of the z as well as a the paperwork. that's about s nostalgic as Japanese cars get right there.
  2. who said i lost interest? youre jumping to conclusions on that one 'senior member' i still love datsuns as well as building them to be truly yours. i might even end up keeping my truck but im just putting it out there. why is someone shown the door because they have interest insomething else?
  3. this makes me feel a little better but do you or do you not agree that i am going the best route for my situation? im 19 years old and i am absolutely broke, why should i keep investing money into something im not all that interested in but have just because of my love for old datsuns?
  4. is there a reason everyone on here is downtalking? dont get me wrong i see where youre coming from but dont be a bunch of rude old guys, im interested in selling the truck to at least try to get something ive always been more interested in. trucks are cool and iwould love to keep it and restore like i did with my dads 240, but combining the 2,000 from my dads car bing sold, i would rather try to inves a big chunk into something else like a 510,b210,610, i like sedans and coups, i dont really need a truck so im giving it thought. dont be rude and learn to grow up a little bit. ive been offered v8 swaped trucks and havent been interested. was told to just "swap the engine" from the original l16 to something 'better' but i actually kept it right and did a head gasket replacement like a real datsun lover would. end of story i really mght not even end up selling it, i might just keep on driving it. if anyone is interested im throwing it out there. as a bunch of senior members thats low key immature, you should at least try talking to someone before you throw your hate at them.
  5. still havent even ad the chance to post some pictures, but i also ran into some extra money and decided ive got to invest my time into something more desirable for myself so the truck is for sale, shoot me a pm for some details!
  6. Sounds like a plan, thanks for the info, I will look into it.
  7. Pics to come soon as I am on mobile and am unsure how to upload. Any suggestions until I have computer access?
  8. So long story short, traded my 73 Plymouth valiant in perfect shape, for a beat up old datsun. I fell in love with datsuns when I built a 71 240z with my dad and now I'm getting married to a datsun with my beat up old truck. This thing needs love and I'm Ill knowledged on just about everything. Starting with the basics I've got to get this thing rolling. Has 2 l16 un-built engines and I am starting with the block. What is the best way to strip/coat the block itself to be clean as well as safe. I've herd acid dipping and powder coating? Sand blasting and painting? Any suggestions??
