this was my first Datsun... went through alot of changes... loss of stainess gutter trim, installation of hotdog muffler and resulting of the removal the rest of it's original exhaust system, and all bolt on panels being replaced of the firewall bar the scuttle panel and being converted from a 3N71B (auto) to a F4W60L (A14 4 speed)

"The Defect" was parked because it had a horrible "tick tick tick" sound - it sounded worse than just tappets... before I swapped the panels over I was mucking around near one of the local gravel pits... thought I knew the car better than I did, I had never driven on gravel, and BANG!, I hit a slight bank, and the car never drove straight again... if you let go of the steering wheel it would pull violently to the right and on the way home it developed a torn upper radiator hose I babied it the entire way home but the A12 was never the same after
...

thet and the severe rust... (NO WAY as severe as "the yellow Peril" ) a previous owner used hession bags to bog up the passenger side sill panel... so you can see light through it while driving!

then "The Iron Maiden " came along!!

until the silver sunny came along I was contemplating rehashing "the Defect" back into service....

Oh well that makes finding an A14/A15 a major issue now so how long till she will be up and running again? or does this spell the death of the defect?

Zane the A15 isn't for either of these cars...

it's (possibly) destined for the silver square light sunny that I still have to go and retrieve...

I do have a spare A12 lying around.... actually I have SIX... but 4 are ready to run/running!

actually all "The Defect" needs to go again is 4 good tyres, a battery, rotor button and a fuel filter!
