Any love for the Datsun 240K?

I got a box full of assorted Skyline kits from a mate in the US at a good price. He'd started some and lost interest.
The last few years I've been working my way through them, waiting until the subject really grabs me before picking up a spray.

I've always loved the shape of these C110 series cars, and had already built the sedan (green) and a GTR (silver), so the two-door GTX had to look different

Just lowered a little, a wheel change, and a home-brew bright red with a lick of pearl!







I like to think I did justice to it!

Nice job.

That's one cool Datto.

Nice work Pete.
My wife and I once owned a '76 Datsun 180B and an '83 Nissan Bluebird (similar to those pictured). Both were great cars.

I remember them well! Was your Bluebird a 4 door hardtop like the pic?

When those 240k"s used to be around alot in the 80's I used to think the styling was a little off, but I like them now. Probably because some of the new cars look a bit bizzare. You did a nice job with yours.

That's a damn nice build
my mother had a 240k which i built as a model after she sold it

Yes Pete, it was a 4 door, not the GS as pictured, but the GL. All red with tan interior.

Hi Pete. Nicely done.
