Ok a friend is sellin a rx3 rollin chassis, but it does have a roll cage, I believe datsun rearend, good pain, int, etc just no motor or tranny, I have the motor an tranny for it, but the deal is, 2k if I'd give him my 84 gsl, which has 2nd gen se hubs, datsun rear end, old school13b 4port with a holley 600, rb intake manifold, and pacesetter header.....so the ? Is, is it a good deal or should I offer him somethin like 1500-1700 cash and my 84?

 

that's a good deal. the shells itself are already hard to find to begin w/.

 

What are the common spots 4 rust u think I should check?

 

rear 1/4 pan on the bottom, along the window edge in the rear and front, along the bottom of both doors and fenders are common places for rust

 

Swap the parts off your car that you want to keep. He's your friend right.

 

Yea but in being a friend of mine he's a buisness man 1st lol....he says its got sus work done 2 it etc...I've already got the motor an tranny that I'm gonna use already no matter wha(not the one that's in my 84 right now I've got a 93 13b an a turbo 2 tranny goin in there) can the 1st gen sus be swapped into that chassis tho is the other? I've got because I was plannin on doint the respeed big brake upgrade on my1st gen an plan on doin that no matter what since its gonna be a big motor with big power u know

 

Nah keep you car bro....its not worth it! Trade even up if he wants if not dont do it!

 

yes but you need a couple things also as the FB struts are shorter than a RX-3. It will sit very low like my RX-3.

 

depends on what kind of suspension work he has done. if he has lots done then id do it, if not much then id offer him the 1500 plus your car

 

I put FB struts in my 72 rx-2 and it doenst sit very low at all. Sits right at/above the wheel. I thought it would be a lot lower than what it is.

 

It doesnt seem like it due to the flares but it is too low. this is with FB struts (no knuckle spacer and stock 1/4" triangular strut tower shim), 15 x 9 and 15 x 10 epsilons (both 4.75 backspace) sitting on 205's.

RX-3 is going back to the shop for final painting (new trunk lid and spoiler). When I get it back, hopefully, the knuckle spacers and 1" strut tower spacer will be done. If that **** still no worky worky, I will run a 195 series and the last will 14" epsilons in front.
