ah, just some random guy nobody here knows.... TobiD....TonyZ.... something like that ^^ but he was right!

just my 2 cent...don´t go to the netherlands. Normally they know quite well how much the cars are worth and then take it by 1.5 -2 just for good measure. I adressed this in my build thread, vacation + CFR is your best bet, then comes nothing for a long time and then other importers. If you need some names of "fair" importers who will sell you a Datsun let me know

scrape scrape scrape...... btw, instead of a full rotisserie there is an engine lifter in the back and the front is suspended from a beam in the ceiling.... only adviced if you know your roof construction though Does anybody know the color code from the underbody paint? Should be the stock 76 paintcode .

wait a Minute, GSX-R throttle bodies? Like in the Motorbike? (looking at the disused GRX 1100G engine in the shed....9

well, I try to keep him off my car but his other projects are rather tedious so he like the fun parts.."luckily" he saved the scraping part for me ..... but apparently, "rust free chassis" in a Craigslist add is not always a lie...

never leave a bored recently retired car enthusiast alone with your car ^^

You buy it, have him sign the title to you, have a bill of purchase and then give those documents to your trusty shipping agent. You just need to move the car by hauling it, it´s not allowed on roads without registration (once again,have your shipping agent pick it up). Then decide where in Europe to ship it (i´d say rotterdam, no tax there) and haul it over AND STASH AS MANY PARTS INSIDE AS YOU CAN, even better, replace everything needing replacement before shipping since shipping parts will ruin you. and don´t be so stiff on Cali, as many people here can tell you there are better places in the south to look. write me a PM and I canalso call you about the details

Hello M2RX, basically as seattlejester said, only you have to keep in mind it took me over a year of searching and a TON of luck to find this car. If I were to do it all again I would said safe up for a journey, let some members know in advance that you are coming and then go hunt. These cars shift so fast, with 8 hour of time-shift I was barely abled to get in contact with anybody, and I explicitly wanted the less sexy (NOT TRUE °! ) 2+2... I gambled and was lucky but I doubt that one is normally that lucky with these cars. If you are interested I would also ask the usuals in Europa about importing one for you. So, if you can ask around and then travel to Cali (especially if you can live with a 280 that should be smogged there) If you have any questions write me a PM what I did: -find a car - ask a senior member to check it out -try to organise payment, fail miserably sinc emy bank is staffed with morrons - in a whim, send the money by paypal to a way too nice member here and have him put down the deposit - move the car -realise jsut how much stress it is to have a car without a title -get safed a second time by a member here -work out shipping etc -ship the car (CFR. Period.) took nearly 5 month total. It CAN be a lot faster if you are a)present in cali or are smart enough to buy a car with title without the help from Daniel I would have failed miserably with what I did, so just my advice, go over and buy one. CFR will pick it up and you are done.

Well, I can finally answer the question. I got a parts car that looked , well maybe okay but actually looked like this .... just for comparison, and i don ´t regret for 1 second to have gotten a 2+2 from cali I also have a new hubcap, and it actually fits, just have to paint it. back to my car, front and rear axle are removed and look great, no play anywhere (I still struggle to believe 55k is real, but it is) the rest of the car is coming along nicely. We managed to find some rust and I can strongly recommend a wheel from england (Forumla GT Speedwell) EDIT: Its a "Personal" wheel, but it was marketed as Formula sometimes. Fits the Datsun hub and is 15" iirc looks great but might be a bit too large
