So many people by a car with the intentions of building a show stopper, they are full of enthusiasm, but they soon find out they dont have the skills, knowledge etc or cant find the funds.

My 1200 has been on the go 5 + years. I knew what was involved but got the $$$ calculations a bit wrong.

Had 12 months off due to painter stuff up, another slow 12 months due to working 500km away. Its now getting close and now I have a Baby due in June.

Its a valid point that so many retro vehicles get stripped and never get restored or hotted up. But it makes the ones around more desirable and appealing. Buy up now before they are all gone. Not just Datsuns but classic 1970's cars.
