if i have my way, this is my idea for it. :D
subs/amps etc install on the tray, with one of those canvasy kind of pull over covers. :rolleyes:
itll have a full body kit, mags and lowered suspension or hydrolics. mabye neon lighting. :rolleyes:
interior............. not realy sorted yet. :confused:
nor the choice of colour :confused: mabye yellow?
engine will probably be supercharged and all chromed.with a perspex bonnet.
:D :D :D :D :D

Sounds like you wanna rice it up, eh? Except for the supercharger, do you have any plans on actually increasing the car's performance? An example of a small 'ute that I think has potential is the Scion xb.

Don't rice it out dude, keep it clean, bodykits don't look cool on old skool utes, give it a nice and unique paint job, chrome up some parts, just give it an old skool loook...

Whats the point of ownin a ute if your going to fill the tray? That means you have to payfor comercial vehical registration without the advantages that come with it.....
And yes the description sounds ricy id be quite sad to see a datsun ute treated liek that....say a nicelick of paint and some mags....that would be nice they look good like that....
And funny you should ask are they still made because they are stillmade in south africa....

bah, the datto has been done to DEATH hey.
do something nobody would expect, like a suzuki mightboy haha. squeeze 2x12" subs in the tray and 2x6" in the doors with amps under the seats.. man, THAT would be a ****ing show stopper haha

yea i figured that after looking at it for a while.mabye lowered with just a small side skirt to top it off.
i like the idea of those mags that look like thier really strong and bold.their not that big either.
dont think ill do hydrolics either.

ok so i found a pic of an old Datsun, i thought it was way 2 long so i modified it a bit.
how hard would this be 2 do in real life.
how much would it cost?
what would be involved?
