Hey, I'm Jason.

Like any Datsun/Nissan you never stop trying to make them better. 

 

TBH I didn't know what a 720 Kingcab was I had always seen them beaten up as Brickies work utes. 

Found myself to land this 720 KINGCAB being a light utility vehicle I thought to play around with it.

Got my FelPro L20B Gasket kit today from the USA, very nice quality indeed expensive to post but worth it, head coming off again so soon yes while changing the gasket I'll be looking at the bores and rings seems to be eating oil? theres no leaks anywhere except whitish smoke under heavy loads (GAS) runs great though.

New Mirrors, Bullet style. I love the mirrors yet not the placements covering existing holes from the previous mirrors for now. Lowered the front a little more :D love my 720 :) these wheels are a perfect offset no rubbing drives heavy on the wheel apart from that I am definitely more tame behind the wheel since the new editions. (wonder how long that lasts)

 

looking to paint the old girl soon any suggestions on color choice? 

 

Cheers, Jason
