Its a Datsun, buuuut

It will soon have the heart of a Mazda.. I'm currently hunting down either a 12A or 13B for the car... (would like a 20B but too costly and big )


I'm currently doing the body work though with plans to widen the body a bit (still unsure on this as most just flare the fenders) but have decided to go rotary as I've always wanted an RX-7 but can't get *another* project car.


I'd do a KA24 or SR swap but that would just make it another 4 cylinder convertible which there are plenty of... It isn't an that uncommon swap for this car though, but who cares I want some rotary power!


So howdy everyone and don't mind the fact it says Datsun.. lol

Naahhh, the body style doesn't get everybody in an uproar if it gets some rotor power. It's when you see a poor lil 1stgen RX-7 get stuck with a boat anchor SBC or SBF that gets everybody in an uproar!

Welcome aboard,,,,say, what was the name, anyhow? This is the intro board, after all...
