...but not quite two years later I bought a used 1970 Datsun 510 sedan for about $1600 from a mechanic who had rebuilt the engine. I had to eventually work on rebuilding the brake system, replace the starter, and tune-ups (condenser, points, dist cap, wires, plugs, adjust valves, etc.).
It was actually fun working on cars back then but had no choice in order to keep enough money for gas and insurance. I did a lot of yard work too which is probably why I hate yard work now! If it weren't for our dog and my wife, my yard would be concrete. ;-)
