I bought it intending to drive it, I don't think this car is a very good candidate for a full restore, if that was my intention I would have bought a nicer one. I will do some fun stuff with this car though. And I bought it from a guy on the East coast.

Its over 25 years old, so its legal and emissions exempt.

So only the Datsun, which is now a rolling shell (thanks to Scott and Eric for the help getting her stripped down) and progress is snail paced slow, and the skyline. I don't think I will mess with the Z for a while, unless I pop the motor, then Ill build the engine and slap bigger turbos in.
