Like pretty much every roadster from that era that isn't British, I love it. Can't wait to see the progress, and you're a lot braver than I am to take on something with that stage of chassis rust. Very cool.

Yea, the rust isn't too bad, I'm kinda annoyed by it, but my dad is currently restoring a Mini Cooper S and entire sections of the body had to be cut out and replaced on it so really this is cake. The trunk is in great shape though!! haha

I would have called BS at that point. No such thing as a rust free Datsun. They came from the factory with rust as a standard feature

But the project looks good so far!
