I'll be going on that, going to be very out of place in the Val I think

Oh I see. Probably the only way will be 2nd hand unfortunatley. Unless you can get one of those universal ones to work? Use the other side as a sample to see if it would work.

Ke30s don't have sway bar links..... Did you fail a wof on that? It's probably the sway bar bushes that are worn, should be able to get them from autolign/repco etc

An rx7 has a watts-linkage in the rear where as a 626 doesn't so probably not a straight bolt-in.

keen to come and I'm sure a few of my mates would be too. Finally I have a going and (kind of) legal car.

so its all legal now a couple of hours after I got a wof the diff blew hmmmmm no oil....... gutted! so in goes the locky. also I had an accident with a scooter in a moment of stupidity so that explains the big dent in the door, not that the rest of it is very straight. Drove round for a while a standard height but have now put it where it should be so now its another filthy 62

need 4age pressure plate but 3au clutch plate from ae70 or ae85

Just tried doing this and got so close. You were right about the backing plate, because of the s1 caliper. But the outer wheel bearing also needs to be changed, the hub stub is 2mm more in diameter. Inner bearing is fine.

will the Front Rotors from a series 1 fit onto a rwd 626 strut?

got it painted on the weekend, it's a ford smoke metallic grey, pity about the shitty phone photos. now to re-assemble and wof time.

looking forward to seeing this project finished! we have a mint standard one at work and its pretty cool!

but if you get them reset too much you will end up inverting the leafs which is a cert issue if your going for it.

In my 626 with standard engine, it's staying on when the key isn't in it causing the electric fuel pump and ignition system to keep going (the only way to turn the engine off is by blocking off air to the carb as it still runs with batt disconnected) I took off the barrel and just used the switch without key to see if it was getting jammed or something but that didn't help at all. It didn't use to do this and I don't think I touched anything to cause it. Anyone got some ideas on the problem?

Yea defiantly not keeping the paint job, want a dark colour.

haha i wanna own and work on all sorts of cars, im sure ill own a datsun somewhere down the track!

since the 12a is gonna cost alot to get rebuilt im just gonna get it going with standard engine all legal etc then i can work on the 12a. slow progress........ new fuel pump engine in with new spark plugs and oil n filter change figured out the 5spd (from a '78 121) xmember sits bout 15mm further back than the 4spd and wont fit in so i have to use the 4spd, o well! its now sitting on turbos in true general lee style lol, i have some 215/50/13s sitting in my room waiting for some cheap 13x7s to pop up. mazdas in the garage and just for inspiration

shit thats alot of rust! most of the cars gonna be new metal! good work man

btw it did fit

quick question, will a steering wheel from an AE85 fit a KE36?

O tru woulld b werid cant wait 2 gt it back you workin on it nah Im not. It was in the paint shop today so shouldn't be too far away. Name a date n place and people will come........ hopefully

yea that was a good cruise they put on aye, was in my mates dx, keen as on more than just toyota though! if it was organised properly like the club k one im sure it would turn out big! J_Feral - your minis in at my work atm, tripped me out when i seen pics on here of it.

thats such a nice example of a mk1, good to see your doing everything properly too. very cool project. will you just keep it mint and original?

as i have no going car, ill try get my flatmate to take his 36

yea but dont pay what he wants for it, u should be able to get one alot cheaper.

figured it out, it was just a spring
