(I don?t want to bring a 1 year old thread to life, so I will just post the link http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=164742&highlight=#164742 and start this new topic.)

After a year I finally found the original sticker, as a bonus it came with a car.

That's a mid 70's Celica (high school era car for me) and a friend had one. Loved it. Also brings to mind the Datsun (pre Nissan) lineup.... the iconic 240Z, and the 510 which was a great little track car.

I leaned to drive stick on an old Datsun Corona, great cars unless you lived somewhere where they salted the roads.

WTF - salted the roads??? What does that mean?

I have been the proud owner of 2 Datsun 240K Coupe (77 & 7

numerous 200B, an '88 300z and 2 Mazda 929 Coupe [ 82 HBSHE and 86 HBSE].
In all my years I must say I found the Nissan engine virtually bulletproof. Engine outlasted the body.

Wow, I did not know that. It never gets that bad here in Australia - It's winter here now and the days are 21C [69F] and nights are 9C [48F]
At it's coldest, in Sydney it hits 11C [52F] day and 6C [43F] night and it's sunny 75% of the season.
Come over sometime, check it out.

Would love to visit your neck of the woods.

2 years ago we had a though winter (for Belgium standards) and after some time there was a salt shortage. We have big hangars with massive piles of salt, but those guys with their salt throwing trucks seem to be compulsive about overdoing it.
I once was overtaken by a convoy of salt spraying trucks on the highway, quite an experience.

Some pictures of the interior?

Did you buy it as it is, or have you restored it/tidied it up yourself?

Most days I'm glad I've only got motorbike license, but when you see cars such as yours - you start to question yourself if you should..

As a hobby at least.
