good job on saving another datsun!

Quote:

AGREED someone please take some 1200 pics! was pushing all week to complete the ute and in tuning and correcting timing last night look like ive killed the engine. fatal metal on metal noise.

any pics would be great.

So after working for the last week and a half till 2 am each morning to get the thing ready for dataun day, it looks like I've stuffed the engine trying to correct timing and tune . Fatal metal sound means I'm not coming to datsun day. I'm gutted, pretty low point in the build .
Hope to see some good photos from those who are going!

havent heard of him for a long time??? he had plans for a gx bonnet etc but then dissapeared on here...

cheers but thats not me.. thats my mate seano, ill pass it on.. youll make his day

too many to name... im always impressed at datsun day how great some of the SHOW cars are there... plus everyones tastes are different.
I think to be considered it has to still be a datsun body, and datsun/nissan motor which doesnt go with what ive done with my ute (not that i would consider it the best by far), but its an important criteria if your considering a car to be the best of a particular brand.
