New World Datsuns...

------ Getting the car , washing it , and taking oics -------

I made a trip about 1.5 hours away nearly ... a bit ago .. to see this car.

A 280zx turbo , and auto-matic none the less !

Walking around the car and at first glance ... I was like ... hmmmm ... I kinda like this ... no wait... I like this.

I mean it's a turbo , cruise control , T-tops , automatic , A/C , Black everywhere , and snow-flake wheels on yokohama tires.

A couple of pictures (paint isn't as good as the pictures make it , but it looks nice either way imho :-) )



It is an 81' not later 82-83 bumper style which was slightly-surprising at first glance. The front bumper was painted black along with the rest of the car , and ad the wheel combination gives it that kinda nice tasteful edge to it.. without screaming aftermarket "this" or "that" lolz.



Now only if I had lepard skin steering wheel cover , and shifter cover to complete this heart seat-covers masterpiece... [:ninja:]



yup...



(More posts to come)

Just love the look and clean lines,the snowflakes just make it so right :mrgreen:

Perfect combination of classy and rapey. Harder to pull off than you make it look. Don't change a thing.

Thanks dislexic ! I appreciate that. This one does have a different look to it for sure...

Yes it does!

Alright , so it's a pain to do a catchup thread on this one and some of the others.

I will just link the work done here to catch some things up to speed ----> http://community.ratsun.net/topic/55078 ... y-i-think/

Alright dis-connected all the crap that goes onto the engine in order to pull.
