Jeff,
Welcome to the list.
Uh, just let me know what city and state you live in. The
name and phone number of the seller... <grin>.
Since it is not running (I assume), it is that much harder to
check out. Seems every non-running roadster I get I end up
spending about $600 brakes.
Is all the chrome there? Bumpers? Door handles? Side moulding?
headlight rings? That stuff can add up quickly.
On the roadsters, parts are easier to find for a 240Z!
take a look at www.datsun.org
click on the big "D"
click on "news & information"
click on "the buyers guide"
Should give you some idea of a few things to look for.
Some fellow named Thomas wrote it up... not sure on the
prices, but you may find some other good gems of infomation
in there.
Cheers,
Tom
