Bob3 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Okay - I need a Ratty Datto in my life. Ever since my '68 Rat was damaged and subsequently sold I have missed it dearly. I have very nice Datsuns; the MX520 and a soon to be VERY Nice 2 door 510 that the510keeper is prepping. I NEED a Rat! So today I bought this . . . "The Rat Coupe" I'm going to do a similar build to the '68 Rat I built. Then just drive the S*#T out of it! These wheels are for sale. The wheels are 13 x 7 and they have a big fat lip! The tires are new never driven on but a few years old. Front & Rear BFG Radial T/A Front 195-50-13 Rear 215-50-13 Price? I don't know how is $450 plus shipping? . Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The floors are perfect! The guy I bought it from must have used it as a table for a lot of painting :devil: there is BAD over-spray all over it! :mad: What a pain in the ass! I've been using a clay bar to get it off. Oh - and I picked up some old school 280zx wheels today! I think they are perfect for this car. I need to get some tires ordered. . 1 Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 are those a nissan wheel? look a lot like the celica supra toyota wheels... Yes they are 14x6 OEM Nissan 280zx wheels from 1980 +/- a few years. They say NISSAN on the face ;) Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 they where factory for the 1980 model. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 are those a nissan wheel? look a lot like the celica supra toyota wheels... Those are Nissan "Iron Crosses." These are "Baby Supras" which I think is what you're picturing: Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Update . . . I finally got the over spray off. New tires ready to go. The car is very solid! Engine bay. This is a Colorado Car from new! Quote Link to comment
