More Information:
Robin used to rally a Datsun 1600 for about 7 years and had a lot of bits lying around, so we looked for a half decent body to start the project. It was fully stripped. Painted in December 2000 in green with gold pearl.
Had it registered in time for the 2002 Jamboree. Robin (owner/operater of perFOURmance motorsports) and Michelle built the whole car with some help from the following people:
