is there another datsun that is very similar to the 140j other than the 160j, finding parts is very hard, and i need lots of interior parts and some body panels, etc etc

where do i begin. ummm rear seats, front seats (there out of an 81 sunny and dont fit properly.) ((the fronts dont matter too much there quite comfy))

dash board. holy hell my ones is cracked to buggery

window seals, she leaks air like a siv on the motorway

roof lining would be nice but not too important my mate is an apholsterer by trade so i can sort that. mainly just the rear seats and dash

i was more wondering if anyone knows if any other datsuns had similar door skins and or seats for size wize, and even dash so i can mix and match to get everything the colours i want haha

haha, most of that we dont have!

our dash pad was craked aswell......but a guy down in Ashburton re-lined it and fixed the cracks for very cheap.
He's on the forum too.....ask him if he'd be keen to fix yours? (lewishorell).

We have spare door skin's tho.....if your interested I'll dig them out and take some pics

I have the lower part of the 140j rear seat in my storage taking up space.
Has had some of the vinyl replaced in the past, so its not matching in pattern, but would be ideal if you cant find another.
Pm me if interested and we can go from there :)
