Goose52 Posted September 2, 2007 Share #13 Posted September 2, 2007 actually, it sounds like someone got a car in pretty roughed up condition, threw on some "go fast" and "pretty" parts and called it a day.Well, the Datsun racing mirrors on this car haven't been sold in many years, so someone started fixing up the car a long time ago. And, getting fender flares installed is somewhat beyond throwing parts on.If only the cars could talk ... this one probably has an interesting, or perhaps tragic, story to tell.

hls30.com Posted September 2, 2007 Share #14 Posted September 2, 2007 That's a set of wheels in need of refinishing and some other parts(the door mirrors appear to be the metal variety sold by Nissan Comp and used on the Black Pearl).Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblake01 Posted September 2, 2007 Share #19 Posted September 2, 2007 I does look like those parts were installed well before the car became ''roughed up". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbane Posted September 2, 2007 Share #20 Posted September 2, 2007 Here are some of the shots concerning the previous responses. And here are a few thoughts that came to mind as I looked at the car: Has anyone else wondered what the underside of the car looks like? Yet another use for duct tape-window sealant! Where are the windshield wipers? Not that I would want to drive this car in the rain...or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76Datsun280z Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted September 3, 2007 That's got to be a lot of fun shifting with no shift knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76Datsun280z Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share #23 Posted September 3, 2007 It looks like it may have been left on the side of the road for a while or even at a wrecking yard possibly from those whiped off/faded numbers that you can barely make out on the windshield that the state patrol puts on cars that have sat on the side of the highway for a period of time if the car is not claimed. Or it could have been through hell and backLOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exdamyankee Posted September 5, 2007 Share #24 Posted September 5, 2007 A bit too far gone for me. I 've got to admit though, I've seen far worse. A lot of that car is probably held together by the bondo and the 6 previous paintjobs. In it's present condition it's an organ donor, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
