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! :tits:
Thanks also to Chris for committing some quality prepping labour to help us get on track for paint, much appreciated dude!! :dance2:

Wagon is currently in primer waiting on final prep and blocking back for paint.
More pics to come from Wal...

Intentions for running gear:
-Get A12 running
-Fit shaved A15 head, A15 cam (if A12 is strong and healthy)
-extractors and 2inch exhaust
-60A 5spd
-vanette radiator
-lowering springs and blocks (2inch drop)
-14x6.5 dunlop TE mags (currently on 1200 coupe)

just bought:

I hope you're joking about the 2 inch drop. Should be lowered at least 3 inches!!!
