    Cool wagon, Datrod. Love to see more pics of it. Like the steelies. Looks like you shaved the side markers. What other mods do you have? Kinda funny the surfboard is overhanging the front and the back......

    Neat wagon. I really like these little Datsun's. My buddy and his son have been into them for a very long time. The son has several of them and builds his own injection systems for them.

    Glad you were able to come over and post the picture. Don't be shy, post more pictures and give us the skinny on your wagon. Oh yeah, got any more? Just checking....

    Wow thanks alot guys. The wagon is a 1971 with all 1968 parts on it. We put a 68 front clip on it and 68 deck lid & fenders. So from a distance it looks like a 68. I'm running a 2.0L motor with a 5 speed trans, 280ZX front brakes and coil overs. Blocks in the back. Hond prelude seats,

    The surf board is 9'9" long and the car is only 12' long so the board looks even longer. I'll post some more pics soon.

    Thanks, I made the dog dish hub caps. I had a hard time finding some that would fit an import wheel. So I just gave up and made a set of them. Best part of the car. :thumbs2:
