I know thats why I said cedric coupe NOT 230 , point was its a cedric coupe

Yours isnt a cedric coupe either. Or a Gloria.
Its a 280C Hardtop

meh! its a cool big car with the sexyist swage line along the centre and its got the right number of doors

Well now you know what it is that you own.
I truly do believe your gonna need ten times the time you have used on your two door as its so much worse. But hey if you can make something out of it good on ya.
I was going to scrap it. Probably would have got more money for it too!

Here's a general knowledge question.

What does the C stand for in the 260c name?

Personally I like the 230 hardtop coupe over the 330, they remind me a bit of those ms51 crown coupes but hey I haven't seen any pics yet of those 330 ones done up.

More pics coming

There is a handful of modified KH330's in Japan
But generally not many. There is a few horrible ones in Oz. They are great at destroying classic Datsuns though
Some inspiration for ya Wal!

330 sedan over 230 for me, so I will wait to see what Wal can make of the coupe, should be pretty cool. That Blue coupe was just like our 330 sedan we had when I was a kid, same colour and front. Lovely car. We had a 230 before it, not as nice.

Yeah im remember you telling me about that. Lush cars. my Old coupe had everything. 2 interior door handles. Electric everything. Air con. Such Luxury!

thanks for the pics chris, didnt matter to me what the nos were 230 330 260 280 etc etc , doesnt change the shape of the car, ive got a head full of ideas for this thing, nothing to out there, a few subtle body mods but nothing that changes the shape, dble door handles could be very handy IF the doors are able to be modifyd to suicide style..... spent an hour or so at kartboys after akaroa cruise and made a mental plan of attack for the rust, and had dibs on a vl calie commodore that had all leather interior rb30 motor 5 speed etc but in hindsight the front seats wont work with the rest of the build, as they wont move forward enough to allow passengers out.
none of which will happen till there is some paint on the 2 door though.
probably getting off the whole datsun photo thread topic here too.
