hello everyone not new to forums but giving them ago again as im excited about my newproject



So I wanted something old again as they are simple to work on mechanically wise always being a fan of old school cars i have recently gained suitable employment to allow me to take one on

after doing some research i decided on either a Datsun 1600 or a ke55 , both cars i have previously owned and are familiar with though i couldn't find a decent enough ke and the prices for a decent 1600 is ridiculous i stumbled on this.



1979 Datsun 200B SSS it was a little rough but if i could snag it for the right price it would be win win so i chucked a bid on it and happily i won it for dirt cheap

So Today I jumped in the Car and drove 240km in shitty weather to pick it up..



of course being a datsun there was bound to be rust so i wasnt suprised when i saw this



So those will be be my priority other then painting the other half haha

Gotta love Poo brown interior all original



dont judge the automatic will change it at a later date.

nice to meet you all

Good effort mate . What are your main plans for the car?

I'd seen this for sale quite a few times. Good to see that someone saved it. I had a SSS once which had rust in the same part of the door jamb so it must be a common area. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it

Gday mate. Main plans really are to get back on the road (anyoe help me with a bluey in Campbelltown area) and into a comfortable daily but in saying that respray the front, fix the door jam rust (anyone can get me a quote on that haha) I want to find some earlier bumpers, find the impossible (SX grill), lower it a little bit, maybe some nice wheels like watanabes or Enkei 92s ,probably a pair of 45s and a nice exhuast. just basic stuff really

but slowly slowly
