  • CA18DET Swapped 1984 Datsun Sunny Custom Pickup Truck
    What's the biggest challenge that you've ever taken on? For Ben his Datsun Sunny pickup is at the top of the list. After doing up two Mazda MX5s he was looking for a more challenging project and this acid dipped bare shell Japanese pickup seemed to fit the criteria. Now 4 years on it has finally reached it's final shape. But is it really? As Ben says- project cars are never finished. Now the car has quite few trophies in its truck-bed and it's time to have fun. The only reason why it can't be dailied is the fact that it doesn't have a boot. What a great and fun project and Bens' passion and determination shines through and through.

    I wished I'd taken on a project in my youth, the skills that Ben has gained from this are so valuable and transferable. A truly great build Ben, I salute your determination and passion.

    It’s called a Buckie or a Ute in other parts of the world when I used to fly about the dirt roads of Southern Africa at about 100kph.. approx 60 Mph… loved these little cars hard as nails.. and never stopped going…❤

      Lol I think you're looking for the word "Bakkie". Afrikaans for bowl/bucket. Nissan later made the 1400 champ, now discontinued. NP200 is now the new model. Ford made the Bantam, Opel made the Corsa Bakkie. VW the Caddy. Love what he has done to it. I grew up in and on a few of these. My grandad had a baby blue one with a tear drop canopy. The one we had was cream in colour and you could literally change the engine twice in one day. If I had spare cash I would make him a offer.

    Been eyeing a couple over here in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nissan made them well into the late 90s if not early 00's. With square lights and bigger front bumpers. One of the best selling nissans.
