Well, i found some interesting Datsun related documents again: The first one is a swiss market 1981 Datsun sales brochure, with the complete lineup: The interesting part here is that it also includes vehicles from the “Datsun undustriemaschinen” subsidiary comanpy, which are forklifts, the Datsun Homer and Urvan.

NEWS: New Car related Instagram Account
I’m currently reorganizing a few things social-media wise, and decided to split my Personal and car related stuff. The previous instagram account @JDMjunkies.ch is from now on only for my private stuff (cooking, photography, etc..) While the new @JDMjunkies.ch_offical is now only about this website and my car projects. I’ll try to rename the old account at some point to avoid confusion, but it seems to be tricky to find a good account name 🙂 Make sure to follow (and or unfollow) the right accounts to stay updated. Going back to regular car related posts soon, once i’ve sorted out all of this 🙂

NEWS: JDMjunkies new Business cards & news
I’m currently aligning a few things and as you can see a bigger rebranding is currently going on. After the website and the new loges, the next step was to create business cards.

Step by step. More news soon…
