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.

Lots of love and admiration from a fellow enthusiast all the way in Durban South Africa.

Greetings fellow fanatic and South African🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

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.

@@fredh1475 your right but not many people can speak Afrikaans

Mega build, great stance and cool to see the CA in there!

I have to say it's last pick up that I didn't think of ever seeing in your side of the pond but it's is a rather unique ride but with cult following yeah

That is one of the coolest little pickups ever Well done bruvvah you should be very proud of yaself 💯 👍

Very nice effort, thanks for give me the idea

Fantastic build, you have learned a lot of skills that can only improve with time age n finances.

Don't stop taking it bro will always make a name for it as it's rare,280zx project with the truck pulling it along with your standards 😂👌. Amazing work you could start a shop easy bro 😎🙏👏

Amazing car and back-story. Inspiring.

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.

Well done man, should be proud as of yourself. Beautiful build

I agree with the enjoy building cars more than driving them, if I could just build cars for a living I would be happy.
