datzenmike Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi Chris and welcome to Ratsun. Any chance you could post your pictures for non f/b members? The 620 down there had L series engines? or still the earlier J series? 2 Quote Link to comment

difrangia Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 That white Knotchback on your FB is nice ride. Looks like a later Type III. I didn't know that VW built the Knotch in the later body with the higher front hood line. I've always lusted after an early Type III Knotch Variant with sunroof. Owned fastbacks and squarebacks, but never a Knotch. Welcome to the world of Datsuns & Ratsun. You have some very neat Datsuns down under. Mid-60's Nissan Silvia is at top of my Christmas list.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 VERY Kool VW you have & 620 also. Ive seen your pics on FB in the Ratsun group there. I like the subtle differences such as the amber / clear front lenses..wing windows & of course the RHD ! 2 Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 mate if i came across a tub id keep it as a mate has a truck for sale and the only reason i aint bought it yet is because it has no tub Yeah thats why I said an "extra one" ;) I've got a mate that's a light fabricator, If I can't find one might get him to help me make one and use a repro tailgate. 2 Quote Link to comment
