...they're so cute and cuddly and unwanted, and they just need someone to love them...

Yeah, whatever.

This poor gal was an incomplete project that simply couldn't be ignored, and the seller wanted next-to-nothing for it... PLUS a bunch of great extra parts!

(NOTE: Not pictured in my garage... but it is now!)

1969 510 2-door, rust free... L20 with dual 40 Dellortos, cannon intake, 280Z 5 speed, all complete (boxes and boxes of parts)...

Greg is too cool for school I think where it lists your cars under your username you should just have a link to a PDF file of them all. There are simply too many for that small space now

Plans are uncertain for her at this point. She'll probably sit for a while, as I have to finish up the Z, do a few projects on the Vert, a couple more things to the G, do some suspension and electrical work on the 311, and then start on the 510... One more thing to put off the full restoration of the 320.

WTF was I thinking?

Dude, they're completely roomy.

Easily 4" of extra headroom.

Hell, my G Coupe is the only car I don't fit so well in.

I've found most older cars are....no dash hanging down...usually not so low slung....

I fit in the S30 pretty easy as well...

I dunno, in spring I'm gonna be on the prowl for something rwd and manual...we'll see what I wind up with.

probably not a dime.

maybe I can find an S10 or another L powered car.

Dude...if you do this, and can co-ordinate the time frame to work with my vacation schedule...I AM THERE!

And, you should ship that dime over here and let me get her done for you.

There is a small shop not to far from me that specializes in older Datsun cars, namely the S30/130 and the dimes.

They had a dime a couple years ago with an all motor S20. 240ps, and it was gorgeous.
