Are the alloys standard, or borrowed from a Silvia ?

either way they suit the car

£1,300 seems a bit steep to me?

A bargain when you consider the £1800 to insure it yikes

Fair play though, nice to see something like this being kept alive.

Well yes, add those two figures together and I'm scratching my head to think WHY?! but hey, each to their own, I'm sure the OP will have lots of fun with it.

^^^^rofl


And that is a seriously cool bit of retro jap. Whatever you do to it (restore or mod further) people will moan so enjoy it.

I spent a few years being ferried around in the family Cherry 1.3 it was a kind of depressing blue and had awful seat covers so i love this car. thumbup

Restore it, filling it "BAD BOY" speakers and adding rally headlights ruins it... if you wanted to do that to a car... buy a saxo.

Thread title is MY Datsun Cherry... Not yours, etc.
I like it, and I bet they go much better with yellow tape on the steering wheel.
Good for you.

Well today was doing a last checkover before MOT tomorrow.

It had been unsealed by a old owner, so just put some more where it had come off due to being jacked up.

The old bad spot is in the last picture, anyone know if it would be a MOT fail.

Under the car so bad pictures =/

It was free to build and works better for us. We have http://experience4x4.com/

So lots of muddy cars, we dont want all the mud inside the shed so we have them outside.

I owned a black Cherry turbo the same as yours back in the early 90's. It used to belong the MD of Liftright who owned a fork lift repair business based in Southall.

Strangely enough she sold it (to me) for £600, taking £100 out of my wages for six months and replacing it this weeks SOTW, a new Isuzu Longhorn!. I was very surprised how fast it felt in a straight line and it was totally standard, me being the second owner from new with 50,000 miles on it. It 'featured' standard brakes and suspension and they were vastly unfit for purpose. The car did not handle at all well and suffered massive brake fade if used as it was intended.

If that was mine I would undo all the rubbish and try my utmost to get it back to standard. It will instantly double in value. Adding all that tat will just cost you more in insurance (you have declared that the car is not standard haven't you?) and further devalue would could be a really special car.

As said previously, it's your car and you can do what you like with it but it would be worth so much more as an original car. Either way I hope you enjoy it as much as I did it certainly made me laugh a lot thumbup

Everything is declared,and im hoping to get it back to standard. The inside is fked pretty much, needs need front bumper also. Problem is its hard to find.

Also passed the MOT with the only advisory being that it needs new tyres which i knew anyway.

Also this arrived today

The Datsun looks cool! Just been reading the experience4x4 website, I may pop over from Lossie at some point with the missus when she's next up here and have a go. Looks like fun.
