Yeah it's coming across as a bit green but that close up of the guard badge really shows it. Nice colour, they always look great in pastels and this one looks tops. Any work to the engine?

That is an excellent job you have done on your datto,
I'll bet you are eager to see it on the road now that it has some colour.

Nice work on sharing all the pics too, with results like that im sure you have motivated some of us to put more time into our own projects.
Keep us updated on your progress, That is a truley awesome build you are doing there xman.

Great stuff Xman!
Love the colour, Can you still get green tinted windows legally? Might look good with it...been toying with the idea myself.

Cheers guys I appreciate the compliments. Yeah am very eager to get in on the road, will feel like christmas when I do. Am putting the engine in next weekend so just trying to finish off all the interior and all the little bits and pieces.

Once its finished will look into tinted windows, will check it out cheers Wurzel.

Thanks B20, and thanks for a great dedicated Datsun 1000 website.

Cheers

Looking great Xman,

I bet you find yourself standing back and admiring your B10 all the time.
I know if i owned one in that sort of condition it wouldn't take long before I had spent hours just checking it out.
How long until your driving around in your B10?
