Bernie and Chris.
A Datsun project is never 100% done

Correct Braasy, still a few tidy up jobs to finish;

Main thing is servicing it & getting it reliable, so I can take it for cruises without fear of overheating or breaking down
Yes Akaroa 2015 - you better believe it!
If it's not 100% reliable, remember you could be in the running for People's Choice AND Hard Luck trophies... Just something to think about

So yes after the coupe being off road for about 14 years (near 8 in my ownership)
It finally drove legally down the road today
Very happy - I have a few issues with gearbox, and electrical circuit still playing up, but will sort that in coming weeks, and iron out all the bugs before driving it too far.
