Unfinished Project: 1966 Nissan Patrol (no price listed)

During my several-times-daily scouring of Craigslist, I found this partially-completed 1966 Nissan Patrol project. Almost everything about it that I could see was excellent, from the correct decal on the back to the correct door handles. There are a few issues that need to be corrected, such as one wheel being completely incorrect and aligning the vent flaps correctly. 

The Nissan Patrol was sold in the United States via Datsun dealers from 1965 to 1967, to compete with the Land Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser, the International Harvester Scout, and the Jeep. Sluggish sales, poor parts and service availability and changing vehicle-safety and -emissions regulations, as well as the fact that most Americans who bought early sport-utility vehicles preferred Jeeps, Scouts and the then-new Ford Bronco over similar imported vehicles, all contributed to the Patrol's demise in the US market. It continued to be produced for the rest of the world into the 1980s, and was especially popular in Africa and the Australian Outback.
