Got my car back just in time for the bad whether.

The steering lock actuator on paper was $1300 parts and labor. Then add in the rental car and tow. Probably would have cost me $1500 to $1600. But since I got the extended warranty it only cost me $150 dollars for deductible and a portion of the tow.

Hell of a deal. Trust me I know all about that....thought I would be able to start tearing my car down last weekend so I began tearing sh*t out. Then what happens, it's in the 60's and 70's all weekend and I can't get my car onto the lift because it's being used.

ya that story makes me what to steer clear of a new car. ridiculous.

if some1 would trade me a nice 510 for my z I would take it in a heart beat.
i've scoured prolly 40 different cities craigslists looking for one.

I don't know if this helps Jackson but I googled "Datsun 510 for sale" and a few came back. I didn't dig too deep into it to determine if ads were current, etc.

Good luck. I've laways loved the 510 either 2 door, 4 door, or wagon.

really only want 2 dr. but for right price/condition would take 4dr or wagon.

ya, most I saw were years old. or just not right. stalking japanese nostalgic car and ratsun too.

i've found a couple decent ones around. most are shells or in need or restoration. I need one thats rust free, with semi-good paint. I just don't have time for another restore, i'd rather just ditch my z and get a really one.

honestly most just aren't nice enough. their out there, but now a days everyone has money again and isn't letting go of their toys

Right place at the right time. The gun shop had just opened the box and I snatched it up.

edub370 · 01-31-2013, 08:23 AM

Locating a bolt carrier croup is the only thing holding up my build right now

I got a Ruger SR556 with the shorty EOtech site that is begging me to take her out but the price of ammo is crazy right now, and I don't want to burn through my stash anymore than I have!

Anything that is firearm related is pay to play. How much, is the variable. I'm thinking of swapping my upper for .22 LR upper that you can order from Panther Arms, so range days are cheap.

I'm going to start hording ammo here soon, but I will get out and get some practical use out of this sucker. After I field stripped it yesterday, I realized just how rusty my old Army skills really are. Which makes me worried maybe my Jiu-Jutsu might just as rusty.

There's an old samurai proverb that goes something like, "when you don't use your weapons, your blades get dull." I've been home from A'stan less than a year and I'm definitely thinking my weapons are getting dull already.

Here are a few photos of the new ride....Funny part is that I still have my old car and I can pick this one up tomorrow

.
I just started the tear down this afternoon before I bought this bad b*tch. They asked for almost $46k I got it for $42k flat with a 72 month warranty, 6 years of free oil changes and a lifetime engine and powertrain warranty. All included in the final 42k price.

Nuki · 01-31-2013, 07:59 PM

F**k yeah!!!!! Awesome man.
