Well yesterday i picked up my first Datsun. I found this beauty from another fellow nico member. Body is in great condition for the most part. There is some rust i have to get rid of here and there. Got the stock motor and trans for it as well along with almost all the interior pieces. Ready to start work on it. Let me know what you all think.

Well i couldn't pass up the deal on this one. The last thing i needed right now was another project car but it was to good to be true kinda thing. I got the motor torn down yesterday and a parts list of things to get to ordering. Its gonna be a lot of work but i think it will be worth it in the end.Will be posting some more pics of everything here in a bit.
