FIRST DRIVE IN YEARS! Neglected BAGGED Datsun RETURNS! - Iron Empire EP 160

My 1966 Datsun 520 Ute is back!
I bought this thing way back, years… many years! I then air bagged this thing and drove the wheels off it for years… not it’s back after siting in storage for far too long!

Awesome to see the ute running again. Even better to see you smiling and making a fairly raw video too. The videos don't always have to be polished, sometimes raw is what's needed. Switch it up as you want or need Mark!

[@towking_]

One of my favourite IE rigs. ❤

[@matttodd3778]

Always loved this little rig. A friends Dad put a NA V6 from a 300ZX into one (with auto), EA Falcon shortened diff, that little thing would bag up like no ones buisness

[@JRITCHHH]

Soooo stoked to see some love for the Datsun!!

[@nickgalea82]

Hell yeah, the Datto was the car along with the Doomsled that got me into following your channel.

[@stevenloynds3691]

I'm glad you are back and looking like your enjoying making videos again over the last few weeks its been good. Ive only seen this car in your intro blasting sparks 😂 you gotta love how old vehicles just work even after sitting for donkeys...seeing your smile i think i was too when she fired up...i do like your style when it comes to keeping oldies on the road, as long as there running and look ok to you who cares what anyone else thinks if its registered and on the road its better then people bitchin that have there's in there shed in pieces....

[@thewholls7176]

When they’ve been sitting for awhile and you put fuel down the carby An old school trick is mix in with the petrol 20% acetone and 5% two-stroke oil…… just to give it a kick and get things lubricated

[@julianalderson3938]

Love the music bita crumbsuckers influence'

[@VC.valiant]

Very cool

[@dandarkracing]

Epic car 🙌

[@julianalderson3938]

Its not a datsun but would always go. Cheers

[@Wes_G1982]

Don’t clean it, looks awesome like it is, took 3 years to get like that, shows it wasn’t built yesterday

[@efxr6538]

That's what I was thinking, did you leave it there for 3 years just to get some more patina? 😜

[@markmathews206]

Nice 👍

[@tony.benfield8499]

The old Datto, how it should be, “wingin it”

[@st170ish]

Awesome to see the beasty again... please dont wash it!

[@honorrolls5415]

How the heck do you get these cars sitting for a year or more on old fuel to start right up for you, my friend you do have a guardian angel close by. I do love the Datsun cool ride. You have some fun stuff to work on. Take care Mark any new Falcon merch
