Hey guys havent updated this in a while not alot happened to the datto since just a weekend cruiser and keeping it shining like always and the odd car cruise in my local area buttttt big plans coming with in the next few months getting the tray floor cut out and another one which will be out of 1.5mm mild steel this will have the ridges in the tray floor wont be 100% the same looking but atleast it will look half original and not just a flat floor also got plans for a full respray on the cards soonish yess you could say ive got datsun fever again haha cheers Andrew :)

Quick update on the datto its in at the moment we are cutting the tray floor out and getting a nice new one welded in and also the beaver panel and tailgate are getting replaced as well time to start really thinking about a colour should I stay orginal or go for a whole new look? Thinking the original colour in metalic or with a pearle over the top what are your thoughts?

If you are seriously considering changing colour then you should do the engine bay and interior otherwise it will look cr@p.
If you're going to give it a fresh coat of the current colour then find every bit of rust and repair work and do that first.

Just my 2cents

Yehh everything will be getting rubbed back and sprayed if I change the colour if it stays original then maybe thinking of leaving the engine bay as its very neat and doesnt need spraying but interior will most likely be stripped back and sprayed.. as for rust theres actually no rust on it at all only the tray floor had a little bit and the tailgate had a bit of bog in it but thats it haha thanks mate.. :)
