Lovely car and sounds like potentially an interesting project. Any idiot can "stance" a car, just look at the number of ruined Mk1/Mk2 golfs out there. I have a feeling you're not going to really "stance" it though and your just going to mod it tastefully!

This is what i've done with my Supra so hopefully you get the idea for the Datsun

That's not "stanced" that is far too nicely done to label it that- it looks like the tyres fit the rims and the suspension isn't broken! It looks good, used to import these when grey imports first started. Great cars especially the Jap spec'd manual cars.

Oh i know this isnt stanced, more just that i'm not a moron modding the Datsun to destruction

Love these, lowered on a set of Watanabees, although a rather cliched look would be my favourite.

I live down the road in Broughty Ferry and I'm looking for another project after turning this into this.

Could I ask roughly what figure was you bought that for? as the ones I've seen seem to be around the 10k figure for Us imports. Just a higher or lower than that would give me a target price.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing this develop

Subscribed, seen a few of these 'stanced' online and they look pretty good I must say!

As for the purists...

Go for it, ignore the boring people. If they are so concerned about preserving such cars why didn't they buy it instead? Top project.

It was advertised for £14k for 6 months or so then dropped and i didn't get much change out of £10k

No work done to the car but took this photo this morning

I'm excited about this! These cars can look so good with a bit of tweaking and looking at how nice a job you've done on your Supra I think this is going to look great

the 240 is a gorgeous car; a stanced one would look awesome but...

...try not to many any mods you can't undo. 240s are appreciating rapidly now. in 10 years time this will be worth 3 times as much, but only if it is stock at that point.

Exactly this. I too like your Supra, so am really looking forward to seeing this. Good luck.

Wee project completed over the weekend.

Well the Datsun got a full wet sand detail and came out STUNNING!

Dodgy US respray came out really well! It's no where near flawless but moves the respray down the list of jobs to do.

Any updates on this?

Lol 4 years since the last update... if the OP does still have it I'm guessing a lot will have changed! Such a good looking car.
