Default pics of my 260Z and the progress

By a stroke of luck, I might have a project in my driveway some time this week.

I need another pic. The only I can tell is that it's old and it not a Datsun 510.

At a glance it looks like a closeup of the 74-78 Z grille... but I don't remember the Z grille having a chrome surround... next pic!

Very good guess. The car definitely doesn't have a chrome surround. It's mostly spray paint and what not. What you see on the bottom of the previous pic is cardboard sprayed black. I don't know why....lol

You and the boys will have a great time working on that and getting it ready for Brandon to drive LOL! It needs some work but I'm guessing you are ready to tackle that project!

Ha! If I follow through with what I want inside the engine bay, there's no way he's driving it. I want a built VG30DETT in this one.

Haha. I had my suspicions on the first pic. Anyway, I hope you snag it (or something like it). I'd personally go with a RB25 or RB26 swap myself, just looks so right under the hood... but a vg30dett is cool enough.
