1971 Datsun 521 Heartbreaker

I realized i've been on Ratsun for a few years now and never posted any pictures of the truck. I'm calling her Heartbreaker as she's always doing the dirty on me.



Thats me cleaning 50 years of crud off the bottom of the engine.

Haven't needed to do too much to the truck as the previous owner did most of the heavy lifting. The camper shell is now gone. I'm not much of a speed freak so I'll be keeping the truck pretty stock. I'll follow up with some pics of the interior soon!

Had a red '71 that was 5 years old. Did basically zero maintenance choosing to just fix as it breaks.

Nice. Yeah i'm realizing that stuff breaking is just part of owning an older car. You cant really see it in the photos but the windscreen is actually cracked. That's next on my list..
