This has got to be a joke of some sort right?? There is only one answer to the question of "I've pestered my dad to part with his cool old modified truck, should I keep it?" I forgot to mention the other deciding factor..... starts with W and ends with E .... I have to prove to her its a worthwhile investment/outlay. I have added the poll so I can show her that its not just me who thinks its a good idea.

So after years of tactical and mental warfare hailed by me my old man has decided he is willing to let his bakkie go! It is a 1984 nissan/datsun pick up aka champ aka sunny truck. It has an extensive list of mechanical mods and a few body jobs. My next issue is whether or not it would be a good idea to bring it up here.... yes... its way back in Africa, Zimbabwe to be precise. It will cost circa 1-1.5 k to ship here, excluding import duties etc. So just wondering if I should go with my heart and bring it or go with the head and sell it on there. Any advice or thoughts? Would it be an investment in the long term etc. Never tried the poll feature on here so why the hell not Oh, some pics.... taken on my last visit. car is up and running now.

Wow.... that mman deserves a beer! Bookmarked this page. My old man had the 280se six cylinder with the stacked headlights. I loved that car. Tried to see if you have the air suspension but could not tell, did that only come with the bigger v8?

I like these too. I have given up on finding a decently priced e30 in good condition. As above, one on my bucketlist...
What does it drive like?

Man i really love this old girl. My dad had a 280se, manual transmission with the twin headlights on top of each other. I got my first speeding ticket in it... 2 days after passing my licence( this was back in Zimbabwe). Being a 4 speed, it had an awesome second gear... used to smoke most "contenders2 in their datsuns and toyotas. I remember the inner window panels were made out of wood, unique.

Brilliant. This sounds like a proper pocket rocket build!! Are you documenting the build on any forums?
