Well i'm back to being a proud Datsun Owner!!!!
It's been about 12 months since i sold my last 1200 coupe and felt at the time that my love for the Datsun was not strong enough to keep me from selling it and buying a more 'practical' daily driver.
I made a terrible mistake!!! As good as my SX Corolla was it just lacked that certain something, that certain X factor. It used to come to the weekend and i would give the Corolla a bath and take it for a spin and it just didn't feel the same. I had no connection with it. I just never felt as if it was truly mine.
So it has been sold and i have now re-entered the Datsun family. I have bought myself D4TM4N's 1976 120y GL sedan. It's got a little rebuilt A12 with a mild cam and oversized pistons, bored out a little with an exhaust system. All it really needs is a little 32/36 weber carb and some extractors and it will rip, all internals are done. It's pretty mint, especially the interior. Has 16 inch starcorp mags and a respray in the original Blue, tinted windows, alarm and stereo.
So all in all a great new base for me to improve again and again. More importantly though it has CHARACTER!!! I have already named it 'Baby' and can't wait to spend my weekends giving it a nice bath, making my own little mods, and more importantly cruising around in true Datsun style!!!
Look forward to seeing everyone around the place and chatting again on here.
Cheers
Trav
