Revived from the archives

I wont bore you with the many garages ive moved my wagon to and from. But ive recently brought my own house and in turn a sweet garage.

Ill put some pics up of the wagon in its current state.

The CA18DET and all the adj suspension has been in and running and removed for paint. Im currently panel beating and getting it ready for paint.

Still got the KH330 260C coupe. Brought a 69 521 Ute also which is my daily when its not giving me grief. Mrs has got a 78 Datsun Cherry with 14x6 Hoshinos and front lip spoiler. Got a new engine for that too whcih is getting bike carbs on it.

Enjoy

Here is my sidetrack project .

Picked it up from the swap meet for a steal and managed to get the fairing and all the lights and other bits to complete it.

Hope to have back together next week and start buring out to work on it.

I hope not to spend too mcuht ime away from the 1200 wagon

Will get some more pics up later

Thats my mate Seans old one. He since chopped it up and making his own chassis which wil have the 8 sec rayglass engine innit

Yep, Water to air cooler for me.

Progress. gonna take it back to work for the weekend and work the rear quarter a bit more, and stich in last couple of sill section panels where the rust was hiding. then off to the painters soon!

I took my rusty Datsun720 ute there 4 months ago and they past it with a 1 metre gear lever with piston on end, one and half leaf springs in the rear which had all bent ,2 inch blocks, basically on bump stops all round and ill he failed me on was a cab mount rust and a tire which i swapped with spare, Ive been goin there for years and they been sweet!
