Hey!
I am a Datsun guy. Have owned over 40 or so. Rebuild engines, transmission swaps, suspension, brakes etc. Have done it all. I know them pretty well in/out.
I've had a few fords over the years. And never had any luck with anything newer than early 80s fords. But back then, I didn't turn wrenches. Now I have turned wrenches for a living for some time. I am not a master tech. Mostly did alignments, brakes, suspension etc for a company. The datsuns I have built... Are a lot of fun. I still own 4 at the moment. One daily, a project I am working on for the wife, A project truck I am working on for myself. I will share a few pictures.
Some of the datsuns I have built, are all over the world now. Hawaii, Chicago, Santa Barbara. It's nice seeing my work all over. All were here in my hands in Oregon. The one in Hawaii was shipped. The other two I mentioned and many more were driven to their location.
Anyways. I traded an expensive datsun transmission for a 1994 ford ranger. Has 161k on the clock. Mostly clean truck. None of the warning lights worked when I got it, and it didn't charge. All works now! Will be giving it a tune up, fluid change etc as it's sat for 3 years. It's standard cab, 2wd, 3.0 automatic. Nothing special. But has a tow package. Now i can use that to tow my datsuns around instead of borrowing a vehicle. Will be nice!
I don't have any pictures of the ford. I will get some and post it in here once I get them.
I am in Astoria, Oregon. Anyone else from around here? Probably not. But be cool if there was. NW oregon, sw washington... or somewhat near here?
