Default Datsun Roadster project

this is a family project, me and my stepdad are building this, i know some one you dont even know what a roadster is lol. we have 2 of them, here are some pics of the one that is all stock:














the other one, is a sr20det project, its going to be built pretty well, it is not going to be a daily driver.shooting for 400 at the wheels, the car is just under 2000lbs.
its not a few week project,(have had it a few years already) and were not rushing it. we dont have alot of time to work on it, so we do what we can and when we can.

heres some pics from when we first got it:

Looks like it's going to be a sweet little project. I like the roadsters and would love to find a clean car for a base.

the yellow one is a 1968 1600, and the other one is a 1970 2000.
the body work, this thing was pretty rough, we bought it from an older guy who tried to do it himself, we found a shitload of bondo, some screws, different kinds of metal, and even cement behind the front fender...lol
