I would keep the car but I'm never home
The paint: me and my best freind took the doors and hood and spoiler offsanded everything down and repainted everything individually black. Then I airbrush the paint that you see on the car. It is flames blended with art. We put clear coat over that. We did this first. Then the car spent over two years getting mechanically restored. This there are some chips and scratches on the paint. There is a ground rear and front spoiler kit on the car. I have Lamborghini doors for the car they were about 500 dollars you can have them and box they came in. We never install them. I don't have a pic of the lambo doors. They are at my sisters house. The mechanical work was done later there are many chips and scratches on the paint. There was some rust underneath a hole which was professionally repaired by a company called awesome Z there is still some rust underneath but it is far from rusted out.
There are two scratches on the right fender 2 inches in length each. There is rust on the scratches. There is a Ina and a half inch rust blister to the right of the gas cap. There is a one inch rust blister on the left fender. There is a one inch by a half inch chip on the end of the passenger door. No rust. The paint was never buffed out. There is minor overspray from the air brush srttThe over spray from the air Brush can be sanded off with two thousand grit sand paper bpaper. It is on top of clear and will buff out once removed. The rust blisters can be repaired easily. As can the two scratches. There is a line of rust underneath the rear spoiler. The car had a different spoiler when painted. We removed it and installed the new spoiler. Later. The metal was bare when spoiler removed and has rust now. If remove spoiler can be repaired easily
The car can be driven daily.
The seats do not match but you have two of them the carpet in the front needs to be replaced headliner needs to be replaced. The damage to the left rear is new and happened while Im storageThe air fan blower inside the car that controls the heat and air works but needs replacing. Heater works.
The car was gone through extensively by a company called awesome Z. They specialize in restoring Z cars.I cannot stress that enough: Awesome Z did an extensive amount of work to the car. They restore z cars professionallyHe guys at awesome z felt I made a mistake painting the car like I did. He thought if I stripped the car down and painted it solid black and put a small z in flames. the car would sell for around 13000 dollars.This car is mechanically restored.
When I started working on the car I worked at a weather station for the national weather service
Today. I'm an over the road truck driver. I travel all over the country. and I never drive the car because I am seldom home. I have started it and driven it about 10 times. It has never been raced. this would make someone an awesome drift car. It's really fast.

I'm getting a lot of questions about the engine. The oil is so clean on the dipstick that you cannot see it. The engine that's in this car I bought off a guy who purchased a car that had this engine in it and he pulled the engine and put in a Corvette engine. He sold the engine that's in the car now to me and exhaust system and a Lambo doors and the carburetor Doug at Awesome z he rebuilt the carburetor the carburetors cost $1900 no if you don't believe me look it up on Google and try to buy triple Weber carburetors for Datsun engine. My header. From my original engine would not fit this engine because it was a square port I bought a brand-new header shipped it down an awesome Z put it on and the exhaust and the rest of the exhaust system also. I have some of the receipts for the engine but I do not have all of them Doug went through the car extensively and he said it appeared the engine has been rebuilt he told me the engine had a bigger cam. He said it was not a full race cam. And he could figure out the specs of the cam if I wanted. But I just wanted the car running. Awesome Z also builds race cars. They are certified Datsun mechanics. you're welcome to take it to a shop and have them test the engine and also we can go talk to Doug about the work he did. The entire brake system is new. All the gauges work all the lights work the car recently passed inspection
