    About a year ago, I saw the white Hakotora through pictures when it was at SEMA in 2015. This inspired me to buy my own Sunny. I went through an import agency and imported a 1984 Sunny Ute from Japan in April 2018. I have had so much fun with this truck, it is unbelievable. I visited 09Racing's website 4 or 5 months ago and was quoted a full Hakotora kit. Between wanting to completely restomod the truck with a never been done before interior, a powerful engine swap and basically rebuilding it from the ground up, there isn't a lot of money left over for the Hakotora kit. I would absolutely love to get the kit, but that will have to wait until another day, sadly. I have such big plans for this truck, and I cannot wait until it is done being built.

    This may sound weird but I have dreamt about this type of car ever since i was a kid riding dirtbikes. I’m 24 years old now and I still ride dirtbikes but the thought of buying a huge pickup truck doesn’t appeal to me at all. Seeing my friends bought a dodge or a ford and lift it up high in the air isn’t my type at all. I like small mini pickup truck that looks cool. I may buy a datsun mini truck and make it look clean with tasteful mods.

    • @Trainsk8
      @Trainsk8 6 років тому +8

      Jimbo I know what you mean man. I've always lived around people with big lifted trucks, so I bought a little ford ranger and lowered it hoping it will take my bike to the track someday lol And a Datsun truck would be sick!
