hi, im new here and thought i would share my little dattos. i joined here to sell my L320 but plans changed and im able to keep it. ive grown up around datsuns all my life and years ago when i saw this '64 NL320, i had to have it. when i was 10 i bought it for $50 and knew that sometime down the road i would have the knowledge and skill to get it back on the road. ill be getting some better pics as im clearing the shop out to bring it down there to start working on it.



early this spring, i picked up this '64 L320. it wasnt running and needed some work to get the shine back.







heres what it looks like now.







i also have a '72 1200 coupe that i picked up sometime early summer. ill be sure and update the progress on the trucks over here. the NL320 will be getting a big makeover with a 12a rotary, bags, and a bunch of other stuff. the L320 will be staying pretty much the way it is now until i get around to repainting it as its going to be staying all original. i hope you guys like

Them are some sweet looking trucks! I like your Canby pic.  Will you be taking it again next year?

most likely i will be taking my NL320 but that depends on how far i get done on it. we will also be bringing at least one of my dad's 510s.

I hope to see you in Canby then. I am Phleb on Ratsun. You may have seen my blue 620. I will be there both days next year. I was only there on Saturday this year.

arent you phlebmaster on here too? i remember seeing your 620. its a pretty nice truck. we showed up a little late on saturday so i missed some trucks in person. i came down with the caravan from up north.

I have special powers as Jade to kill spammers. My alter ego so to speak.

I will be looking forward to seeing your rig. Keep us posted with pics and updates. You must have shown up with Bleach?? I just missed you on Saturday then.

yep, we met up with them in olympia on their way down

I used some of your pics for the Canby slide show too. Nice shots!

well i got started on tearing down the NL. i spent a little bit gutting it out so i have a fresh canvis to start on. its now ready to go down to our shop to pull the motor and start doing some major work to it. i was surprised to only find one little spot of rust on the whole truck after tearing it apart. i should be going to the junkyard tomorrow to pick up a new fender for it because that fender would be a little hard to fix. the back damage looks like itll actually be pretty easy to fix surprisingly. the tailgate is another story.

So...you got another one?? Nice! Wait...I noticed you have 2 in your first post. I got it now.

I can't wait to see your progress.

well, i havent got any work done to it recently but i did make progress. i just bought my first home and it has a 2 car garage. its a little squished right now in there but there is still more stuff to unpack and karting stuff that needs to go back in the trailer that we used to move. its kinda cut off in the pic but there is about 5 feet next to the orange NL320 that once i clear stuff out, itll make more room to work.
