"Hi guys, I've dropped the price to $10,000 and will consider offers. The money and effort that's gone into this car is more than 5 times the asking price. You'll never build its equal for this price."

"Hey Bina08, sorry I missed your question. It's the standard ute diff, and seems to cope well. I've run the engine up to ~7000 rpm and tested the traction at a nearby industrial estate, but it's only done about 100kms since the rebuild. I have a spare diff..."

"Thanks for the info on the heater, the last image is really similar to one I have.   I've been too busy with new house and baby to play with the toy, so as of tomorrow it'll be posted for sale on Gumtree.   Cheers Craig"

"That's not what i have in my 1000. It doesn't look like the 1200 heater images on techwiki either. I'll take a photo when I pick it up from a mate and see if anyone recognises it."

"Cheers mate. Does anyone know much about heaters in Dato's? Were they standard in all 1000's or just a few models?"

"It's certainly not an original 1000   I was lucky enough to have a chrome rocker cover off another engine   Heart transplant   Twin flat top Hitachi's and extractors in place   Socks on.....to keep it warm on a cold Tassie winters night"

"Mate, good to see your project. The R31 rotors sounds like a whole lot of breaks on a little ute. You'll be doin endo's! I guess you need the 15's to fit the brakes under. Hard to believe you can fit them under the car."

"Hi All, I'm new to this site and relatively new to Dato's. I'm just finishing off my first Datsun project, which is a 2 year build of a heavily customised 1000 ute. It's the typical rebuild story, where a 6 week touch up turned into a 24 month overhall..."
