Rusty Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well, Its been a long time coming but me and the wifey have finally decided to go back to my home in Hawaii (Lahaina, Maui) I have had a rocky road for the past 18 months and almost sold her a few times (the truck, not the wife) So...I'm taking the unfinished NL project with me. :cool: most of you have seen all these pictures but here is a quick timeline... this was day one. then back to stock then a call to Beebani Customs :D for a one-off rear frame, custom upper and lower control arms and fit the ka24e in the hole. So now it will finally dry out, and live out its years in the sun.... ~Aloha I'll keep you posted:fu: Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Sun? Just keep it in Lahaina. A few miles north it rained every day I was there and I got these rusty datsun photos Sounds like a good move. You'll have the nicest Datsun on the west side I'm sure. Quote Link to comment
phatdave Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I have never noticed this before. If you look at the photo AFTER the engine swap, cover the bed with something ( Hand, piece of paper, etc) it looks a LOT like an old VW Notchback. Nice truck!!! Quote Link to comment

There WAS a VW squareback that a guy turned into a truck, and it was like an NL320's sister or somthing? I tried to find the craigslist but its gone now but... Here is a similar idea tho... Yea, love veedubs too. My Nl320 covers the bases for me...until i find a ragtop:cool: to park next to the truck! here is one of my favs. Quote Link to comment

denveratsun Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I would love to drive the road to Hana with about 15 Datsuns...:D That would be sick...We could all meet back Paia and watch the sunset.:cool: Some fish tacos and Datsuns...Hawaii...:blink:...sun setting over the waves...

Da Kine!! Thanks guys. This is only solidifies the move home. I doubt I'll be driving to Hana in the NL... But I'll be cruise'n around town eventually. Lets not forget, it needs a few more grand, plus now shipping for anything i cant find now is double to Hawaii. Thankfully Its not a resto. although I'm dreading finally needing a windsheild $400.00 plus shipping,then hope its not cracked when it gets there?:lol: aye Ainokea... I going home bah:fu: Quote Link to comment
