So, and buddy and I went to a junkyard I recently found on Tuesday. The yard had several very cool cars rotting away...Datsun 610, 210, and 71 Celica and several S30s. I found one COMPLETE with minimal rust. The cool thing about it is that is a first gen 240z!!! The owner of the yard has the title so I made him some rediclious offer...My 91 S13 rooling shell plus $100 for the Z. He accepted! :naughty: My buddy and I will be picking her up next week sometime. :woot: :woot: :woot:

we got on the ground and looked. Seemed to be decent. He rebuilds Datsuns so rust really isnt a huge issue.

Hes collection. As you can see hes a huge Datsun guy. He has a RHD bluebird on the way :naughty:

Is that the slimer Z that was in the show paddock in Carlisle?

the car looks fairly complete from that distance, but one must wonder what's wrong with it that it's been sitting like that for so long in a junkyard.

i'd be mildly concerned about how rusty the underside is seeing how it looks like it'd been sitting in the dirt/mud for a while.. No doubt it will be a challenging and interesting project...

Good luck!
