That is sweet. I know it is wrong but I want to see this same treatment to a first gen RX7.

I wonder how tall the guy who built that is to be driving it with a helmet on.

far too cool. I will admit, I would not mind Miata running gear under my fiat

I remember seeing that build thread a while back, I'm glad it finally came to fruition.

These girls think it's a wonderful little truck.

Seems like it would be easier to drop the body on some other frame, but I'm probably lacking information.

What is that kid, freaking 9? E36 M3. I'm not sure those ladies realize they're consorting with jailbait.

Hurts when it's the other way around. Cool truck.

I thought I had seen something about that truck in the past. It was posted to the Nissan minitruck site when it was first posted. It's a really cool little truck.

The mag Project Car is doing a build of a Datsun 620 with an SR20DET.

I really like to see cars and trucks like this....with "updated"/modern drivetrains.

CM needs to do SOMETHING different cause they are dying a slow death. Despite my continued loyalty! The Mag is like being married: cable TV with only one channel.

I used to have a '66 520 truck. The plate in the engine compartment said it had 67 HP IIRC. I can imagine it would be a blast repowered like that! He went to A LOT of trouble to stuff that in there, but it came out great!

They don't look exactly vintage themselves!

Awesome truck. Impressive that the kid is 14?!

The truck is actually his dad's truck. He has a twin brother and they race Miatas together (I think SM) Anyway, they're building a Datsun 510 coupe with a full Miata drivetrain and suspension.

I've been threatening the same project, old datsun trucks are rare in the rust belt

I gotta give the kid congrats for not resorting to the submissive hover hand.

Wait, wait, wait..... Bieber is a guy? When did this happen?

Also, people want to look like him/she/it?

WTH is wrong with kids today?

You know what? I don't want to know, just get off the lawn before I start building patios....
