New to Roadsters, not to Datsuns

Post by JDMonster »

My name is Chris Houts, I've been a 510 guy for a long time. I grew up in Oregon and eventually found my way to south Texas and now the Texas panhandle. I work in law enforcement and recently got married in Las Vegas. My wife as put up with my Datsun obsession for a while and finally she has come around. She wanted a Volkswagen Gia convertible but I convinced her to look at the Datsun roadster and she fell in love. So here we are, roadster owners. Here are a few of my current cars.

Welcome! Notice that someone has done some body swapping of parts on the ol Roadster... short windshield with '70 fenders etc. Easy to swap the fenders, not so easy to do a flat dash and windshield conversion! Check your vin for the real year of your car!

You are going to need more HP if you plan on using the Roadster to chase bad guys :D
