September 2, 200717 yr comment_220438 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.

September 2, 200717 yr comment_220439 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 https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25404-very-poor-looking-22-on-ebay/?&page=2#findComment-220439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 2, 200717 yr comment_220454 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.ah yes; those parts would be something more than "cobbled together"from the looks of it, that's an MSA-style exhaust (judging by the muffler and tip) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25404-very-poor-looking-22-on-ebay/?&page=2#findComment-220454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 2, 200717 yr comment_220461 I does look like those parts were installed well before the car became ''roughed up". Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25404-very-poor-looking-22-on-ebay/?&page=2#findComment-220461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 2, 200717 yr comment_220474 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.

September 3, 200717 yr Author comment_220520 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.

September 5, 200717 yr comment_220648 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.
