I bought this 1983 Datsun 720 dual cab back in April. A forum member posted up and EOI thread and i was keen. Canberra winters are pretty cold 1st thing in the morn so riding the pushie to work isn't very pleasant. Also with 2 kids under 3 a second car (that works ;p) is pretty handy. 4 door Utes are the handiest. ~196k kms on it pretty clean.

I have since:
- Swapped the 4 speed for a 5 speed
- Aldi head unit (included Bluetooth and a remote for $70!) and speakers
- 15×7 +20 steelies
- 2 inch blocks have gone in the back and the torsion bars have been would out for the front

Making up some roof racks and I would mind putting the stanza seats in it but that's about all I want to do to it. It starts 1st time and runs well. With the small tyres on it 5th is better than the old 4 speed but not by heaps.

Changed the oil, oil filter and fuel filter in this this morning. No leaks, all good. Into 1st to start rolling down the driveway and back into neutral to coast down to the road. Go to select 1st and clutch pedal drops to the floor. Head back into the garage and sure enough brake fluid on the ground. Check the old 4 speed box and SR box and no slave cylinders. Repco has one. Couple hours later go and get it. Have the indignity of jacking the ute up in the cul-de-sac. Swap in new slave cylinder that wasn't from same model because Datsun. Pin is too long. Shorten it too much. Cut down allen key instead. All back together and driving around the block no worries. no leaks. Wish me luck for the week.
