That truly is a classic! Must be tough to find parts for but it looks to be cosmetically complete.
Yeah I think parts for this car are basically non-existant, which is why most will have to be fabricated, luckily, most of it is in great condition! The biggest problem right now is the weather stripping, its still their but after 47 years, rubber just cant hold its shape anymore! I have pictures and information on it at my site:
Right now I'm just doing some basic things. Cleaning out the gas tank, replacing the battery, filters, and the carb will need to be rebuilt. I "think" after that she should run! So I'm crossing my fingers and taking pictures and notes of all my progress.
I'm from SoCal (US), it's nice to see some Datsun Cherrys from all over the world.
Here is mine, its a 1981 Datsun 310 GX (that's what they are called here). Here are some pics:
The motor runs perfect, i'm trying to fiddle with the suspension and brakes and make some improvements- hopefully

What'd you pull the Zetec out of -a Ranger? How much of a weight savings/increase did it provide? What engine management did you use? Now that Nissan stopped making decent 4's , it's nice to see someone taking advantage of the good 4's that some of the domestic manufacturers have been coming out with lately.

Zetecs never came in a Ranger. This was a 2004 factory crate motor. The Zetec is a European motor that Ford is using, there is tremendous aftermarket for it in Europe. If you look at the photo, it is turned sideways to make it RWD. It is mated to a Ford Type 9 tranny and run with a Contour SVT computer. Nothing was cut, and the motor sits level. The transmission even comes out the factory hole. Brackets were made to have the Zetec mate to the factory Datsun mounts. It is putting out 200+ HP in an 1800 pound car. You don't know it's there until I let you know.It is a lot of fun.
This one is my favorite though. 1964 Datsun 1500
And this is my Home Depot runner
