I figured I would introduce myself to the site, I am from Battle Ground, WA and about a week and a half ago I bought a 1968 Datsun 1600 that was in pretty rough shape. When I bought the car it had no taillights/turn signals, no seat, the brakes were almost non existent, and quite a bit of rust.... but it did run! In order to get home I had to drive about 15 miles in it using a boat seat that the owner loaned me and a block of wood to hold it in place.
Since then I have installed seats, a roll bar, adjusted the rear drums, bought and painted a set of enkei 92s, and installed taillight and turn signal bulbs.
The next thing I have to do is track down the turn signal issue, and get the carbs/timing sorted better
