1976 Datsun 180B review from Australia and New Zealand

"Dato's rock this is real fun car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Only paid $100 dollars for it.

Paint is almost not existent however there's almost no rust (small amount in doors and rear quarters)

Seats are worn and seat belts just starting to fray.

Replaced the radiator, water pump, grille, and shaved the head after running into a kangaroo on the way to work and cooked it trying to get it home.

Brake master cylinder started to leak replaced it with the one from my old Sunny.

Engine is getting tired.

General comments?

This car is a lot of fun in the wet or on dirt.

It was a very quick car I've had it up to 185 km/h plus (out run a mate in his 2003 Subaru Forrester)

Getting ready to give it a respray, and maybe dropping a 2.0L engine in it or a slightly worked 1.8L (depending on what the minister of war says)

Running 14" rims and air shocks gives it a real stiff ride.
