Bought this the first weekend of living in the datsun capital, for my new daily.
Huge thanks to Wal for initial inspection, rust repairs and body/paintwork, its going to be an awesome wagon! Its been so enjoyable learning more about bodywork, talking shit, and observing the talent youve put into the repair work!
Thanks also to Chris for committing some quality prepping labour to help us get on track for paint, much appreciated dude!!
Wagon is currently in primer waiting on final prep and blocking back for paint.
More pics to come from Wal...

-Get A12 running
-Fit shaved A15 head, A15 cam (if A12 is strong and healthy)
-extractors and 2inch exhaust

-vanette radiator
