Here's something that might tickle you guys...

 

 

Picked this up yesterday. Looks beat to hell but it remarkably solid in all the right places. Runs like a swiss watch and a nice smooth ride. I'm not gonna do much to this except wheels+lowering and rock it about looking tough.

 

I give you, the Battle Datto/'Battle Royale':

 

 

 

One for the photoshoppers ;)

 

 

 

 

 

Nice plush interior:

 

 

 

 

 

 

You just can't fake patina of this caliber 8-)

 

 

 

 

Hope y'all like!

Looks like Nissan's version of the K-car though not as ugly. Interesting wheels fer sure. Look forward to your mods.

Hahaha, no, I cant slam this one to the floor! I need something a bit less low for day to day driving - the roads around here are like the 3rd world!
