Need to grind the rust out of the bottoms of the doors and patch them up, then it'll get a rattle can two tone red-on-black job, and gonna source some nice 15's for it. Then leave it pretty much as is.

Or at least thats the plan :P

[VT SS]

lol... L20b love ?

[Mad_Aussie]

actually to be honest i know fuck all about these things. Am searching google now. All I know is she holds first and you can't open the passenger door from inside. Oh and it has a crazy wierd highbeam toggle

[DanWA]

Haha i used to bush bash and burn these in high school.

Sort after cars nowdays!

[nang3]

nice!! i love the old dattos !!

[xr06t]

i saw the datto on silbeers blog yesterday! nice shape. good luck with the project.

[yeahlow34]

Yeeeeeeeeaaaah. Datsun cruise FTW.

[Mad_Aussie]

Well there's some pictures of her... for 500bux she goes pretty fucking alright hey... I'm happy as.

[Bakerboy]

U got a bargain

[S133LTR]

rofl for 500 you got stuuuuuung


i still rekon its a rig. (thats L series motor)

[DanWA]

They've gone up in price! But they've aged alot.

Its like i remember when datto 1600's were $200 n shit lol.

[Mad_Aussie]

these cars are quickly becoming quite sought after, $500 isn't a bad price at all. Yes its got cancer but nothing some resin and fibreglass can't solve. I'm not building a race car here, just a good little runabout for me to get to and from the sticks so I can throw a swag on the ground; too hard carrying it on a pushie :P

[Rambo]

that's a sick 180b.

l20b ftw!

[Rantopotamus]

L20 bottom end L16 head, good 48 mm Webber on a good manifold, Nissan Bluebird electronic ignition, welded diff FTW!!!

My Stanza drifted in dirt tracks at 100km p /h with 5 people in it... swung nuts in 2nd, wet laps at 3000rpm in second without any struggle.. just cheap as good fucking funny as fun!

[1JZVL]

speedo upto 200km/h?

hmmmm

[31-EVO]

Optimistic spec speedo.

Decent price really, there is one down Bunbury way in worse condtion for a grand. Good luck with it man

[Mad_Aussie]

if anyone has VL turbo or VS/VR/VP front callipers let me know!!!

not that its a highly interesting update, but just upgraded to 205's on 14's... from 175's on 13's. Actually gave it a larger rolling diameter in aid of more ground clearance... Yes; more. Goes better on bush tracks now. And in all aspects actually, none of this tyres rolling off the wheels nonsense.

[Mistikal]

Love the gaffa taped doors ;) Should cut the rear can off and run a straight pipe, key bangers FTW.

[Mad_Aussie]

LOL gaffer tape is just keeping the rust at bay until i've got the time to grind out the rust and fix it. As shithouse as it looks, it actually improves the cars appearance.
Go figure.

[DanWA]

It will actually be making it rust more dude... lol.

[Mad_Aussie]

ah that sucks. Well i'll have to douse it in rust converter and clean it up this week lol

[mc68]

im pretty sure you cant convert rust back to metal...when theres no metal underneath...just cut it out dude.

[Mad_Aussie]

no, the converter just stops it rusting. Am holding off bogging it up as I want to see if any better doors come up.
