Faults:

Clutch started to slip before I owned it, therefore I got it for cheap.

Both radiator hoses started to split at about 191,000km.

Started to leak Brake Fluid at about 190,000km.

General Comments:

This Datsun is as reliable as a brand new car, and great on road and off road.

This car has an old L-18 engine, but is very clean and very well looked after, therefore it's running almost new.

But on the other hand, it has a few rattles, dents and scratches, but no rust at all.

Faults:

Clutch master and slave cylinder needed to be bled; once done it was great. Lots of rust.

General Comments:

I recently bought a 1980 Datsun 720 4x4 Pick-up for AUD$100! It runs and has a solid steel flat bed tray. I had a minor problem with the clutch, but after a simple bleeding of the master and slave cylinders, it works fine.

It has been sitting in a paddock rusting away, but runs very smoothly. I bought it for a farm car and it's perfect for it. The interior is pretty small, and I struggle to fit in the cab as I am 6'2", but once I'm in it's fine.

I'm thinking about filling in the rust and painting it for fun. Any suggestions or questions welcome. Cheers.
