Hello everyone, my name is Ruben and I've just entered the world of Datsuns!

I bought an 83' 720 KC a couple of months ago as a work truck, and just today I bought a 78' 620 LB to replace my dead ford focus as my cruiser.

I don't know too much about cars but I plan to learn while I strip these two apart and build them back up.

Don't know much eh? You are in a world of fun now.

I am about to attempt a motor swap later this month, first time ever.

Get a Factory Service Manual (FSM) and/or a Chilton/Hanes Manual and go to town. Get a photobucket/flickr account and show us these beauties.

I need to get a new Cheap Camera to document the motor swap. Phone is annoying to use, I don't want to get it greasy either.

I wonder, if I use one of those under water covers it won't get dirty, will it? lol.
