Time to fill up the cooler, find some shade, bust a knuckle and break out a sweat.

Whoever buys that Datsun should DM me - I've got a fender, a hood, a trunk deck and some other parts like wheels and a steering column sitting in my attic from the previous owner I wouldn't mind selling.

Also saw this earlier '04 BMW 325xi Touring (Manual)

i6, manual, awd, e46. That one in particular, the rear subframe is a goner and realistically its more than a $5k car after work (assuming you can talk them down a good bit). But man are those fun little cars.

Well, not exactly my area, but I was bored recently so I decided to look for cheap old cars in France (I’m from Poland lol), and came across this, https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/voitures/2994192608 a 1984 Peugeot 504 Pickup, manual, diesel engine, and it has this weird tilt up and down bed, kind of like a… dump truck? I think
