rollinlow Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 hey this is my 1976 datsun 620 I bought for $100 Im from Australia, these seem to be very rare here, I found it in a paddock where it had been for 12 years! didn't come with a motor, complete besides that.. so far I have pulled rear suspension out, including the diff. cant find any bodyfillers, seems to be original I have a L18 engine with quad bike carbies and a 5 spd box lined up for it :D plans are to re-do supsension (bushes etc) get it roadworthy an registered.. I would like to paint it a burnt orange with black wheels, that would be trickk,, Then notch it and air bags! big plans on a low budget :rolleyes: I also have a deadline of rego for mid january.. enough of the boring stuff heres some pics I'll get some more pics up soon comments welcome, need all the motivation I can get! Cheers n beers. Sean Quote Link to comment
