1983 Patrol / Safari
Posted: 08 Mar 2016 17:44
Hello guys / girls
Last week I was fortunate enough to land a great deal on a 1983 Nissan Patrol (Datsun Safari according to the reg docs...) The vehicle is in fair condition, and I have a few little bumps and bruises to fix, but seeing that the car is the same age as I am, I know that bumps and bruises will come with age... hehe
The motor is still original (I think) as it is straight 6, with a 4 speed gearbox. I spoke to a very friendly gentleman over the weekend that stays in Warmbad area from this forum, sorry but the name slipped passed me. He informed me that the vehicle is imported due to the fact that it has two front seats with middle console, and not the single seat. Guess it came from Aus probably?
Other than that, I am not too sure what more to say about the vehicle. What I do need help with urgently, is finding a front window and tail light covers. The two headlights are also different in look, so if possible, a new headlight. Any idea where to start looking?
