You have to replace the floorboards and tail light panel and get the engine running reliably for a planned cross country move in less than 2 months. and you will not under any circumstances leave the Datsun behind.

 

I am heading to New Brunswick on June 2nd and yes I know I have less than 2 months to get my 510 driving reliably to drive it across Canada.

When you have to explain what the 'dot-soon' shirt your wearing is for to the kid working at McDonalds. Seriously, had no clue what datsun was.
