thats was my exact thoughts after i buffed it. i have always said "you cant polish a turd" but now i know you can. my plans for it are to lower it down and do a little bit of motor work. just kinda keep it a good reliable car but throw in some autocrosses here and there. it handles pretty sweet for a 1600lb car with stock suspension. yeah, thats my truck and i have an NL too that i bought about 10 years ago before the big 320 craze. heres the thread ive got for this 320.

on these cars with anything bigger than a 13 you cant lower it very much. the car comes stock with 155/R12

^^^^ man, old datsun motors are bulletproof with simple routine maintenence. if your gonna swap out a different motor, you should swap in an L series motor out of a 620 or a 510. i know around here, they are a dime a dozen and they will run all day long. that red 320 is my daily driver/work truck and that 44 year old original motor is still runnin strong.

Smack it, and drop in an RB26 and hit the local import scene and tear up some ass.

if you ever get over my way my friend has some enkei 16" webbs with good rubber. he doesn't want them so I know they could be had for cheap.
