datsunfreak Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 So a looooong time ago, a buddy in Houston sent me this photo... And then he asked if I wanted to buy it. Price was decent, and he said it was runner, so a week later it was at my house... I was not in a position at the time to do anything with it, so I pushed it in the garage and sort of forgot about it... Then a couple of years later, a buddy here local to me offered to fix the paint. It was at his shop for almost 2 years, then it came back to me like this... Then I promptly pushed it back in the garage and forgot about it for a couple of more years... 😄 5 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 I did do a few things along the way. Got new bumpers for it ('68 rear with NOS license light), and some tail lights from Japan... The car is a '72, but keen eyed observers will notice the '68 front valence on it (result of a previous fender bender), so I thought a '68 rear end would suit it... 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Front grill and trim back on, couln't resist modifying the grill a bit... Also put on a new front bumper, but apparently did not take a pic... 😄 I have not really done much on it over the last 2-3 years, but I am planning to get back on this now, since I need the space it is currently occupying to work on my 240Z. Plan is to get it back to running shape, then do the cosmetics it needs (mostly interior, otuside is done), wheel/suspensions/brake upgrades, etc. Updates should be coming soon... 2 Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 It looks nice in white. I like them WITH the bumpers. In the original pics, it appeared to be very straight. Nice way to start a project. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I think I sold you that bumper license plate light years ago. I was wishing the other day I had it back, as I was considering that bumper style for my 69. 😁 Quote Link to comment

I prefer the look of them without it. 😁 Thanks, though! 👍 Quote Link to comment
