im posting this here instead of the other cars section because i need to be talked off the ledge or pushed, you guy pick.
basically i followed this guy in his many many racing exploits, and his recent rebuild of the car. i have a car like this that i have been sticking lots of money towards making a period correct factory racecar. i never thought id have a chance to own this car. mine is about the rarest version of this car as it only had about 500 copies made in r spec in 67.5, this racecar is not the race car, but has history and has been proven to be a great car(a few issues need sorting but mostly setup).
i could buy this one and sell my project to somebody that will spend the $ to build it right.( i have lots of rare stuff on my car that datsun only made once)
or i could buy this car, have a racecar to abuse, and finish my car at my leasure
or i could not buy this, and continue dreaming, and slowly building my car
the major con to the whole deal is that i would have to stop the build im getting ready to do on the supra, and maybe even sell it(probably not, but race cars are expensive to run)
3500$ for all , but it is about a third of his investment and well within my savings at the moment.
anyway here is the link to the build of this car
