Whatever you do, keep it Nissan/Datsun please!

Edit: ohh, and good luck! If you can rescue that poor Datsun you are indeed a machine!

I think every single Datsun enthusiast would have one of these if they were within reach.
Here is one on Yahoo Auctions for $46,000 nzd reserve not met :p

Hey,

Yeah i gota admit its got ALOT of issues, but i work with sheetmetal and a cnc press :).

Plans are to remove the whole floor and make it custom like the ex RIP's datsun ute. rear tray will have floor completely removed and replaced with a custom made new one same style as origional. maybe bigger wheel arches for some extra meaty tyres.

I am keen to keep it in the same family engine wise! but ive never had anything todo with nissan engine's ive seen some build threads and looked at some prices. Im keen to look at rb2* and sr20 options. but looking at prices on trademe 5k for a Rb26dett isnt making me like it
