Hey guys,
Not all of us can be a James or a DJZ, smashing out crazy mad-scientist turbo old school craziness virtually unassisted 24/7. But we have some Aussies maybe coming over next year, and yeah apparently our cricket team just beat theirs or something but really no-one cares about that stuff. It's all about the Datsuns.
Whether it's thinking about how much you've spent, looking at other people's awesome finished projects and thinking about how far you've got to go or where you're going to find the time/space/money to work on it, sometimes we all get a bit discouraged at the state of our projects and progress stalls for a while.
After this conversation with a fellow member
I realised what I had to do.
Because I love 510's and want to see more of them I've been focusing on those mainly. My aim is to continue to offer words of encouragement/pestering for updates so that in Akaroa 2016 we can have a field full of minty 1600's and happy owners.
Chin up people! Your project may look sad now, but remember what Kevin Costner said: If you build it, they will come.

Great motivation, I saw your questions/prods last night and smiled. Yes I will be working on 2 x 1600 this weekend. Need to sort out a niggly issue with my sss road car. Either a sad needle valve in one su "type" carb or a float full of petrol and start a gearbox rebuild for the race car. I need to have the motor and box back in etc for a local hillclimb in a few weeks.
Have a great Datsun weekend,
ps love the bbq trailer sure hope to get down to ChCh and see it some time.

They're all secret squirrel at the moment/I've been working on Toyotas instead...
I could put up pics of things I've bought though.
