Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Hello! My name is Chris and I am located in Saint Paul MN. I have a 1970 Datsun Roadster 2000 that I am currently restoring and doing a ka24de swap as the original motor gave out at about 21k miles. The car has been sitting in my garage for about 10 years and it is finally time. I have been lurking for a little while and have already gained a wealth of info on this car that has helped me alot.

Welcome!

welcome

Is it me or are lot of new owners doing engine swaps lately?

Welcome to the site! Everybody loves pictures.

Welcome to the site, of course we will need pictures.
You've found the best resource on the web for all things Roadster!

Welcome! It is nice to hear another one is being saved. As stated above, we love pictures.

Welcome aboard fellow roadie!

Oh...and did we mention we like pictures?

Welcome and good luck with the resto!

Welcome Chris. Get that bad boy running. There are several other folks in Minnesota whom have roadsters. Once I get the registry database done you will be able to easily search by state to find folks close toy you. There are some folks in Wisconsin-some in Illinois and several of us here in Iowa. We ought to have a mid-west meet some day. Maybe Road America in Wisconsin would be a good place to meet. Any way-just thinking out loud. Good luck with the project and post some pictures please.

Awesome, thans everybody. Do you guys mind if I add some pics!?!

I also must say I am not a "new owner", this beautiful car has been in my garage for many many many years. I have had alot ofpeople try to but it off of me but I refuse to let it go! The old motor blew so the easiest way to repair is swap as I had a hard time finding parts for it. I do hae the old motor on the floor in front of the car if anybody is interested in it. I also have the original trans (5 speed). After I get it all together I will make a for sale post to unload all of the uneeded parts so someone else can revive another one of the rare gems.
