Hi,

It might be useful if you actually asked a question.

I know that grammar is non existent in this mobile phone era but it could prove useful.

Are the photos (above) of the vehicle you are starting with, if so, then I wish you all the best. That particular model is much older than we tend to see on this forum but we are an eclectic bunch and usually there is someone who has the knowledge needed.

It would be good to see one of these restored and refreshed with a bit of new technology

Ok sorry about my grammer.
First quistion i have is what is it? The only badges on it is a datsun 1200 badge and a round yellow 60HP badge.
I am going to put a better motor in it as the one in it does not run and has a 3 speed manuel in it, fix all the rust, matt black paint big visor and red rims with white walls.

It looks like this one but without the extra hood bling

1964 L320 ?

That looks the same. Gives me somthing to look up now.
Thanks for the link

i want that old beast haha

Well you cant lol im getting it for a realy good price and its all there atm im thinking how far im gunna go with it. Might be puting new floor pan and fire wall in it so i can fit a 265 hemi i have laying around in it.

nah dont do that get it back on the road

I'm going to make it into a custom frenched head lights, step side tray, low dash out of a 50's custom line better engine. Most likly a grill off a ek or fb, Matt paint and pinstriping
Its not good enough to restore. Might as well hot rod it to hang with my dad and the local hotrod/custom crowd

i do like the stepside tray idea
