hey old school, that painter wouldn't have the initials of J.C by any chance?

with no datto to distract me i'd get stuck into my type 3 VW, or go play with anything hemi powered.

the year - 1988. the car - 180b sedan, unlicensed, rusty, damaged. so what did i go out and buy? sheepskin seat covers, a stereo and a magic tree air freshener. never did finish it as i was too young & clueless, ah those were the days.

ok i know this is a 1200 site but...... when i was a kid we had a brand spanking new 180b SSS & so i can blame my parents for my datsun fetish. the technology nissan had compared with the other manufacturers was far superior. anyone remember when GMH started boasting about their IRS? 1992 i think it was. and as for five speed transmissions, OHC,disc brakes, etc, well, need i say any more?

I'll be there, to at least take some photos if nothing else, and it looks like i've rounded up one or two others & their datsuns for the day too.

looks like i'll have to tag along in someone elses datto. somehow it just doesn't feel right to turn up in a ford.

expensive? have you priced rare spares panels?

www.ebaumsworld.com is fairly tame ( clean) but still good for a giggle.

c.v. sheetmetal make sections for most datsuns and they fit perfectly too. ring him and ask for a price list or check out his website. i think it's www.craigvaynesheetmetal.com.au or something real close to it.

there's nowhere that i know of that sells datto floorpan sections, but try a sheet metal shop. providing they can make a template from whats left of your old floors any half decent sheetie should easily fabricate them. finding one that's interested is the hard part.
