I am from Germany and don't think I have ever seen the car in Europe.
It's a 78-81 Datsun 210. It is a little, pretty ugly, cheap car. They
also made coupes and station wagons. They have RWD obviously. They only
Nissan Sunnys I know are the later FWD ones.
It is my opinion that the only reason why they sell the Ford and
Toyota conversions in Europe is that they don't have the Datsun 210, no
matter what Daniel says. :-)
He did mention a new conversion out of Germany I think, I can't remember
what tranny it's based on.

Wasn't that FWD?
Guy, if you are serious about this, I think you should get the 210 trans.
and the kit from over here and not cut up your car.
