I think most the fun is fixing it yourself and the countless beers that get drank in the process I just started working the body of a 1987 datsun 280z over filling holes, shaving badges and extra chrome, prolly going to fab up some fiberglass bumpers (to shave about 75 to 90lbs of weight off) I would say half the car looks like its newish and the other half looks like its from 1978 haha... Sick truck though and you say that was a roll-over would never be able to tell. DASH = SICK TALENT

[benmiller]

yeah I will have to make sure to go out tomarrow and get some pics of it takin and start my own thread instead of high jackin yours lol.... I just cant get over how nice that truck looks I think if I had i guy with half your talent willing to help me out with my z it would have been done by now but instead I got me with no mechanical talent but can do body work and paint work. this engine is going to be a pain thank gosh I got a hanes manual for just the engine and one for the whole car or I may be lost. Anyways time to pass out just got back from a jungle juice party and I do think the everclear is starting to creep up on me.
