Well after many years Drooling over z Models on the Internet,tv and magazines I couldn't help myself but rescue this old lady from a farm in the midlands of Ireland
The car spent all its life based in the Irish midlands which it had a few owners and eventually wound up in Co.Meath to an elderly Lady who owned it from 1983 until 2015 when I purchased it.
The car was purchased through a local classified called classic cars Ireland and upon viewing I fell under its charm and its self built legend status
The day it was bought it had seized brakes but i anticipated this and brought lots of tools and wd40 to free it up so as to I could get it on a trailer
First impressions were ok spotted lots of rust around the roof,lower wings and boot door but I knew what I was getting myself in for so wouldn't let rust deter me I WANTED a DATSUN
We agreed a price and the set her up on the trailer to her new Home in the South of Ireland in Cork City
This will be a slow paced project which I plan to complete over 2 or so years with my Friend
Initial plans are:
Full and Detailed Restoration
Gunmetal Grey Colour
Work equip 03's (deep Dish)
Rebuilt l26 engine
Front air dam(splitter)
Zg Flares
Aftermarket exhaust system
Treble Webber Carbs
Polybushings
and other small modifications
I am excited to say the least
heres some shots of the day I bought it January 15th 2015
