Was thinking about this rig today @WhangareiKE70. It's cool as heck.

Hey @GuyWithAviators do you have a good go to place for brake parts etc for this. I would like to get rear shoes and pistons, front pads , seal kits for master and calipers maybe?

Looks sweet man, great job!

I hope you keep it, even just do a basic tidy up on the rust etc, have it running and driving. But understandable, house is probably more important.

Solid cruiser, should be driving in no time.

Thread dredge. Anyone know what became of this wagon? I gather @cylindersmoved to Australia and hasn't been on here a while.

This is cool, awesome!

I thought you were Auckland based?

Could do day cruise to museum if happening. Auckland events mean min of 4 hrs driving for me so tend not do many. There used to be os Waikato meets and I went to a few but I think maybe it's CJC now or something idk. Someone can probably fill you in on that , I think it's organised through Facebook now.

1200 4 door wagons are super cool.

Actually I got some generic flush from repco and forgot to change it about 3 months, seemed to be fine.

Yeah, put the old radiator in and perform a stationary cooling system test and it should be sweet, just remember to film it.

Probably would be better to go rover V8 over 308 just because they are far more common these days. Datsun parts/engines in general are getting expensive, would make the suggestion if you were to go that way look at the d21/Navara engine perhaps, a z16 even should be around 100hp and shouldn't be hard to find. Maybe the viva breaks and diff would be up to it, I don't really know. Lots of great engines out there.

Nice score, be awesome that follow along.

Been waiting to see how those hoses work, quite surprised those clips can hold. I assumed ac ran at high pressure but I guess it's similar to an air compressor.
