Gentle Reminder-Les Cannaday Still in Business

Post by S Allen »

Les reached out to me today asking why his website link had been removed. I was under the assumption that he had moved on and lost interest. He is listed in the vendor section once again but his website is going under major redesign. You can reach out to him via email or phone number listed on his website. He still has lots of parts. Here is his link http://www.classicdatsun.com/

Thanks.

Awesome! It's great to hear that Les is still interested in serving the Roadster folks. I am from San Diego and visited Les's shop about 10 years ago and it was awesome!

Cheers

+1 on Les is Rad and he is funny. Super nice guy. Has helped me in the past.
In my brain, I'll keep him in the rotation when I need a part.

It would be a good thing if he will post here when the website is functional again.

I'm from Seattle and visited his shop last year when on vacation in San Diego. It was great to look at the builds in progress and the potential projects out back.

I picked up a set of chromoly axles from him a couple months ago. He's very much still in business.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

I was down to see him in Vista last week. I took my differential by for repair/adjustment. He took me to his diff guy & I had it back with new bearings in 3 days.
