And that's why one throws a few more cubic dollars at the front and converts the ball joints and tie rod ends to heims. It's the snowball effect.

Datsun Roadster, eh? My brother had a 1300 that he got in trade for a tractor repair job back in the early 80s. It was running but rough. We had it about half-way restored, (frame, suspension, brakes and engine all done, body stripped down and getting prepped for paint). Bro had a falling out, had to move out and my Dad ordered it off to the junkyard! Cool cars. Got pics?
