Well, after much searching, I have finally come across the perfect basis for my next Datsun project. With The help of our resident B10 hoarder Chris, I drove out to Shepperton today and came home with this little beauty.

And finally, the super awesome rear windscreen sticker.

sweet sticker

sweet another 1000! what plans you have for it?

If I had to do a thou... The 2 door sedan is the best.
Great taste Revhead!

To be honest, it wasn't my first choice in model. I've always been partial to them but always favoured the 1200 coupes, and lately the sedans a bit more. But for the engine conversion I had in mind I wanted something light. Then I got the thou off Lagwagon but it was missing so much and it seemed like a mountain of a project. Then after a heap of searching and viewing I chanced across this one. Which has bucketloads of character and an interesting history. It has a certain look that appeals to me and it certainly ticked more than a few boxs with what I want.

It's a little disturbing to me that it has remained garaged almost it's entire life and so far I have not found any structural rust, Not even a pinhole. The floors are good, quarters rust free and apart from some light surface rust, it's a gem. Inside the boot has to be seen to be believed. It is the absolute povo pack, having no heater, only one sunvisor for the driver and it has never had a external rear view mirror fitted. Never. The left door and front guard have been repaired at some stage and the paint is lifting but the rest is origional and is well worn, but not crap. It has a few dents but nothing I'm going to worry about just yet.

As for my plans with it. I'm going to measure it up for my little toy motor for it and see what pans out. I like the current look of it so the mags and body will remain as is, while the seats are going to get repaired or replaced. I'll put up some more pics soon to show you guys just how awesome this car is.

And even more bizarre, My wife digs it too... WTF??? She says she can see herself driving it... It's just a shame I can't see her driving it...

I can, you will be sleeping in your wagon otherwise

Shame it's a 1k, only because of all the unwAnted attention
your going to cop now

Good score too, chris must have a 1kdar

Car looks sweet Don, very much looking forward to seeing the new engine.

Hope the pickup went smoothly, without the dramatics of lights falling out of the trailer

So what are you going to do? Road or race? or both? Would be the ultimate sleeper if you threw that motor in it and left the body as is.

Nice..
