Welcome! What plans do you have for it? Make sure to take pics of everything you do and post them in this thread as the members here are picture whores (me included).

Managed to get the KP710 to the workshop,
Have currently stripped completely down inside and out, and have found way more rust than was expected.
Got The Datto for a box a piss so ends the breaks,is she worth it is the question .
Here is some pics to keep you fellas in on whats happening.

Oh Yeah just a pic of my R31 ( jap spec) in all its glory'
Pretty much running R32 GTST running gear.

nice man, R31 looks good.

as to wether you should keep the 710, i would say do it. from what you have shown us, it looks like you will be in for alot of work, but it will be worth it when you roll up to an event in it, and be the only one like it there. everyone here loves these, so you shouldnt get a crush it from anyone

Those coupes are a pretty uncommon beast when compared to the other models of datsun.
It is a pretty big job. I hope you make the right decision.

That is a SHIT load of work. It will cost you a load of cash, require a heap of dedication, time and heartache. With that said if you think you can sink the cash, stick to it and not quit on your project, then this would be a great place to start. Quite rare and likely to be the only one at a meet. Also has twin carbs, boosted brakes, rock solid L series engine.

If you decide NOT to go ahead with it, offer it somebody on here.
