Only some minor denting of the metal under the heater box is needed for
the Datsun box. (This can be avoided if you install tranny first, then
engine)
The Datsuns/Nissans were small econoboxes, wagons and/or 2 door hatch
backs. Sold in the USA as a 210. Rear wheel drive.
I have no idea what it was sold as in the UK.
It seems most 10 year or older Jap cars all turned to rust so it is hard
to find one. The model years are 79-81, they came with 4 speeds, 5
speeds, and automatics.
Happy hunting
