Bernie and Chris.
A Datsun project is never 100% done ;)

Correct Braasy, still a few tidy up jobs to finish;
> Needs a catch tank installed
> Electrical fan logic needs sorted (as relay wont switch off once ignition off)
> Front number plate surround
> few bits of chrome to be renovated
> missing rear bumper mount outer tabs
> few other bits & pieces

Main thing is servicing it & getting it reliable, so I can take it for cruises without fear of overheating or breaking down

Yes Akaroa 2015 - you better believe it!
If it's not 100% reliable, remember you could be in the running for People's Choice AND Hard Luck trophies... Just something to think about :P

Ok, ok. I hear you. How about "99.5%" then. And See you at Akaroa.

So yes after the coupe being off road for about 14 years (near 8 in my ownership)
It finally drove legally down the road today

Very happy - I have a few issues with gearbox, and electrical circuit still playing up, but will sort that in coming weeks, and iron out all the bugs before driving it too far.
