1976 Datsun 280z – Will It Run?
Kevin over at Junkyard Digs picked up this Datsun 280z but after sitting on it for a bit he called me up and asked if I wanted to tackle this car. I went and picked it up and brought it back to my shop to see if I could get it running.
Check out the Junkyard Digs video where this whole project got its start: https://youtu.be/XPLB3MqWRFE

#Datsun #280Z #WillItRun
Today I attempt to get Barn Sprite #2 driving by cleaning the carburetors and putting in a new master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.
Today I try to get a 1962 Austin Healey 3000 BT7 running that had been stored in a storage unit for many years. I end up finding more than I had bargained for.
Last round I found the starter that I was using needed rebuilt to be good enough to reliably turn the engine over. I now have the starter fix and installed and ready to see if the engine will now run.
Last round I found the engine was stuck and without a driveshaft I could not break the engine free. Today I install the missing driveshaft, deal with more surprise missing parts, and again see if the Sprite will run.
