What's up. I just purchased my 86 today, my excitement can not be overstated, I am stoked. Here are some pic's.

So, it is a little rough, but it has just a few little rust spots, and for a car that is 26 years old, I will take that.
It has the following cosmetic flaws:
It has a cracked windshield, bad. It is in need of a paint job in the worst way. The top dash is cracked and in need of restoration. That is really it for the interior because it is completely gutted. There are 2 seats and a battery on the inside.
The engine is a sr20det. I will take pic's of it tomorrow so you can see the complete set up, it has the battery relocated into the passenger footwell.
I am very excited to own this car. My last project car was a 1998 nissan maxima with a vq35de swap, so I kinda know my way around some of the silliness that nissan likes to do with its engines... My end goals with the car is a complete restoration, pretty simple. Final color is going to be matte black, it will have 45mm fender flares, black window tint. I am still on the fence for what tail lights I am going to do, I have a broken one, so that replacement is on the horizon... any input as far as which ones are crap, which ones are not so crap, would be awesome. I am also on the fence with what rims I am going to do, again I am going to lurk and eye fcuk all your cars till I find one that speaks to me, then I will prolly send you a pm and ask about your set-up.
So that's me, I am stoked to be here, I have been on forums before, so you won't get any stupid a$$ questions or silliness from me.
