Another Datsun 100A story.....
| A Datsun-freak is
borned!!
In the biginning of the eighties an ordinary boy was born i Jeppis his name was Johan. Johan was a clever boy and grew up in a quiet peaceful neighbourhood. At this time Johan didn´t care much about cars, engines and that kind of stuff but this would soon change. In the summer Johan always went with his family to Forsby where they owned a little cottage and some land. Johan tought that it was the most beautiful place on earth. Johans life could have continued like this but one day he went with his father to Hank´s workshop in Forsby and that would change his life forever. After this Johan started to visit Hank several times during the summer and soon he began to work there in the weekends. Johan wanted to learn all about cars, engines and that kind of stuff and soon that was all he could think of. Several years had gone by and now Johan was a big boy, he had learned a lot about cars and it was time for him to get an own car. He bought his first Datsun, a 120Y at the age of twelve, the car was a wreck but the engine spun like a cat! He drove a lot with it and learned even more about cars and carhandling. About one year later he bought another car, a Datsun 100A that he decided should be his first car when he got his drivers license. Soon it was time for Johan to become a real Datsun freak....... It was an ordinary saturday at Hanks workshop and Johan was there as usual, this was the day when Johan got to know me, the Datsunfreak himself. This meeting would change his life forever. I came to Hank´s workshop with my white shiny Datsun 100A, my chrome wheels shone, the body glittered and I had a fresh verryberry wunderbaum hanging in the rear mirror. Johan came to me and said Hello and we started smalltalking about cars and that kind of stuff, after this moment we have always been friends. While we were talking Hank came out and asked me if I could fetch Sören from home so I asked Johan if he wanted to go for a drive, you probably know his answer. We drove to Sörens at the "Nybränn ring" and that´s a really curvy narrow road in Forsby. Disco music pumped out of the stereo and the throttle was wide open. Johan had a big smile on his face that still lasts so this was a proud moment for me and a ride that I always will remeber. After this ride Johan got big plans for his Datsun 100A and now about six years later he has realized his plans as you can se on the pictures below. He has built a real beuty and racer, next summer it will be out on the street so WATCH OUT.

| Body and interior Johan made new clothing in the roof and on the floor and he also bought an original Datsun 100A rpm-tachometer from me bacause I had one extra. The body was renovated and painted in a magic pearl silver color by Hank of course. As you can see on the picture of Johan he will become a mean streetracer..... don´t test his limits, his Datsun is even more MEAN!!! |
