1969 2000 with a R16 engine, a little ruff all around and mostly in pieces but does run and drive...been around Datsuns since the 80's and felt the need for a roadster so here I am..concourse guys might want to shield your eyes...here's a few pics....

That looks extremely solid and original Sora Blue color too?

Well, when I first looked at it it seemed extremely solid but after a few days of picking it apart I would say it has a 85-90% rust free body. A few small holes and some worries of what lies beneath some spots of filler.
It had a repaint very close to orig color-no tag :cry:

Where are you located? Seats can be easy to come by as people do the Miata seat swap.

Were you out Friday night up by the McMinnamins on 164th? My wife and I saw a sora blue Roadster but by the time I put my glass down the car was leaving.
If that was you, I'm sorry I missed you. The car we saw looked great from where we sat.

Not me, must be another one running around town. Good to know there's a few board members in the area to run around with! I'll be needing your guidance in the future

Thanks, I'll take you up on that. I need to find out what parts I'm missing for the soft top.
