Re: My first datsun
Was so disapointed. I flew to wellington to pick my car up and it wasnt done 
They said they had it all together and went to turn it on and didnt start. Checked the wiring and it was all stuffed so as i was flying there they were trying to re-wire the whole car and i got there it was stripped again and paint work needed to be done. But they got it running and it sounded like a beast with the lumpy cams. I cant wait to get it here but have alot more work to do to it. Found out that the car was a race car and had been betten up 
Big learning curve for me aha. I got only a couple of pics as i was just angry at the guy and didnt take much. But need some parts if anyone has any. Roof lining, carpet, gauges, radiator and a diff so i can weld it up haha. But enough talking here is some pics...
Need to strip and paint myself
