Hi Daniel;
I'm either going to have Mike Young do the work, or the pervious owner
will do the work...(he works at a local Datsun shop and I trust he'll
take good care of the car.)
I'll be asking all those questions and find out more...which is why I
asked the list see....^_- not sure /exactly/ everything I'll need. (More
about that tomorrow) I'm not sure that I /NEED/ it...but...it's tempting
and I wanted to find out more about what is required so I can make a
choice without having the wool pulled over my eyes.
The car runs beautifully, though it does need the work that I mentioned
before it's 'safe' ;P It can do with a new paint job and a little body
work but there's not much rust. A few rips on the seats and minor interior
stuff I want to fix up. So, it won't win any beauty contests... it runs
and that's what I'm most interested in. This winter I'll worry about
the cosmetic stuff.
