Hey guyss Iv always lurked around here and Iv had my mits in plenty of Dattos
But I finally get to play with this now
my GF picked up a 1600 roadster as her new DD so this will be added to my project list.
its a great driver but Im going to make it clean
its still somewhat rough around the edges
its Mike's (exit 64) "silver lady"
I went over mount hood on the way home from hood river and took a nice long cruise in it.
I had fun driving it
Im gonna have some fun building it for her too

Welcome and thanks for toning down the post from Ratsun! This group is a bit more conservative
You'll find all kinds of support here - the car and previous owner are well known.

I don't press very hard. I was too lazy to walk over to my red Toyota in the background and use that hood.

I seen over on Ratsun that you are looking for a drivers side radio cover and console plate. PM your address and I will send you that whole radio console with the parts you need. It has a Pioneer AM/FM cassette in it, but may be able to clean it up and make the cover work.
