Carter 71 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi, new on the forum so saying hello. I've been plundering this site for the past year, since getting a '71 521, so thanks for the help and info so far! I'm in the UK, my Datsun is a Cali import, I'm sure you know that the 521 was never a uk sold truck, so knowledge and parts is thin on the ground here. Had a fair few old motors including '62 Ford Cortina, old BMW's, Ford Thames truck, and a mk1 Mitsubishi Sapporo (I believe this was rebadged as the Dodge Challenger mk2 and the Plymouth Sapporo in the States), but first time owning a Datsun. I'll get a thread up in the 521 section. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks for the welcome! I've put a thread up in the 521 section, but I'll stick a few pics here, brighten up the place... Some of my past rides Well I gotta say, love the Cortina. The Ford van...not so much. That kind of ride would get you labeled as a rapist here in the states! Quote Link to comment
Carter 71 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well I gotta say, love the Cortina. The Ford van...not so much. That kind of ride would get you labeled as a rapist here in the states! The day van was an impulse buy, I must admit, only had it for a year. Cleaned out the traces of cocaine and dead hookers, sold it on. The Cortina was fun, stripped out and caged with a hot crossflow, did a few retro and classic track days with it. 1 Quote Link to comment
