lol well behind the back seats, i guess thats the trunk right? i think this may actually not be the right time to buy it. i think my eyes were wanting me to get it but i dont have time to work on it right now. full time work, full time school. no time for the car really. i will definitely let you guys know what i decide.

so i checked it out, the guy has a sick coupe 510 btw. anyway i got mixed feelings. definitely cool looking and definitely needs some work. the carburetors are too large for the engine, so its putting in more fuel, seems to make it run a little quirky. the guy says he has the stock ones which would probably make the car run better. the carpet and headliner(i think) are both sitting in the trunk, no ac no stereo guts i dont think think. interior is pretty nice though. the guy said the work he did was real quick and could use a redo. but hey, its a 40 year old datsun, i knew it would need some work. the l20b engine is from a 76 datsun 620 pickup. seems that it is going to be pretty sluggish going up hills which is something i do everyday, since i have to drive over a mountain to get to the other side of the island. i think i may pick it up though. i just gotta see if realistically i will have time to work on it with full time job and full time school. oh and here is a rear pick that i forgot to post earlier:

chee hee! and move home quick so i got someone to help me with all the work haha!

thanks for the links! i actually have seen the 510 realm one, but not the other. and thanks DTP, i hope it is as clean as it looks in the picture.

yes lol. out here in hawaii. guy said he did some sheet metal work for the rust so i just gotta check it out. im planning to just slam it on some nice wheels and then add some other subtle details.

hey all, new the forums and new to datsun but been wanting to pick one up for a while. thinking of picking up this 71 goon, planning to check it out today. mileage is unknown because it has an L20b swap, originally was a L16. running on 45 dual webers, headers, msd ignition and a few other things. im pretty sure it has been repainted recently be previous owner. needs some body work, which is understandable for a 40 year old car. freezeplugs need to be replaced, small oilpan leak. is the l20b a good engine? i know the normal signs to look for, and the guy is only asking 2800 obo. was thinking of offering a little less if everything checked out okay. think this is a good deal? any feedback or things to look for or stay away from would be greatly appreciated! --kai
