hellamikey Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Here goes: My name is Mikey Souza, I'm 23, live in Reno,NV and I'm a Capricorn. Interests include: Drumming, building things (anything really) physics, circus arts, Datsuns, and old Suzuki Motorcycles. I've been around Datsuns, basically since I was born. My dad was a tech at a dealer in so-cal when the Zs came out, & had a garage here in Reno (Smokey's foreign car if there are any local guys) specializing in modifying Datsuns, and older Toyotas for almost 20 years. I started helping him tear Z cars apart for rebuilding when I was about 6 or 7, started figuring out how to put them back together at around 10. My first car was a 74 260 with massive steel flares, an L28 and a lexan airdam. Since then I've had 70 240, a 72 240 a 78 280 (until recently, more on that later) and a 79 620 longbox (current) sweet, now for pics. my 620 loaded with lumber for a Burning Man project (only shot I have of it ATM) ..and the 280 I mentioned earlier: how it sat as of 2 days ago: The story with this 280 is, its my baby, out of all the Zs I've had this has been my favorite, but due to my ass being unemployed and BROKE, I had to sell it to a friend so I could pay rent. the kicker is, it was apart. So not only do i have to sell it, I've been working on it for 8 hours a day for the last 5 days to put it back together for someone else lol On the bright side, the agreement was that I could buy it back, short notice, as soon as I get my shit together again. and finally on the non-Datsun front is my 2 owner '75 914 1.8. pretty, but I swear this thing is Hitler's revenge. ever go from working on a datto to a Porsche? Its awful. So thats my life story. Glad to be part of Ratsun, I like the way y'all do things around here. -Mikey Quote Link to comment

hellamikey Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 yay, another longbed! they do exist! I have an '82 Suzuki GS1100E. I haven't seen another one here in Boise yet. Welcome. They do seem to be few and far between, dont they? Right now Im slowly buying up parts for a vintage supermoto buildup on a 79 SP370 single. I also got my hands on a cheap 83 sp500. runs great, but no title, so im thinking of building a spine framed street tracker with gs550 mag wheels. Too many irons in the fire. lol also, I think my apostrophe key just went out. Quote Link to comment
