1984 Datsun Maxima Sedan project/daily

Picked it up from Klamath Falls, Oregon 80 miles from me. Saw an ad on Craigslist they wanted $800 at first but it had been sitting neglected for 3 years kept seeing the price drop until I emailed the owner and it was the lady that already moved to california so apparently they were selling because they were moving and her husband was still in Klamath Falls and had to be gone by the 20th of this month. I talked to the husband didn't really say much at all about the car but told them I was interested. I brought fresh gas, some oil, coolant, wheels with tires and ended up forgetting jumper cables and a extra battery. Got it to start by the guy having jumper cables in the trunk. I was refueling it with some fresh gas and what pissed me off the guy trying to impatiently start it while refueling. I stopped and put the cap back on and let him try to start It. It took 7-8 attempts finally came to life and idled on its own after 30 seconds. Paid $200 bucks got the title in hand and drove to the nearest gas station to get some more fuel and put some brake fluid and air in the tires, it made it home with no problems on a old battery, and crappy tires.

I gotta take care of this radiator problem that I just found out about while driving the car seems the previous owner's never flushed the radiator and mixed coolant & antifreeze and turn into this brown sludge.

Yeah I'm loving the Snowflakes I need different tires on them though as the rear tires sidewall rubs on the fender there 205/65/15 probably go with 205/55/15 or 205/50/15.
