Love it, lose the pipes and move the mirrors. Yasuka has the solid rear v8 cressida and this is a x41 chaser with IRS and big grill. South island example and prob the actual car below.

Mint whips Dave. Good to see quality builds that will be on nz roads. I grew up on escorts and cortinas then moved to japas. Still, I will always have a soft spot for them and you have just blown on the embers. Il keep watching and adding my 10cents every now and again. Kane

Any one recognise a front panel for my toyota? Theres bound to be one there. I ran out of time to look for one.

Yup thats the place. The gx61 was still there as of 4 weeks ago and I doubt its gone any where. Was out the front with a 280z and a ep81 starlet which I wanted the seats from. Reckon you will go?

UPDATE: I have been staying in touch with Cameron the last few weeks and tried to call him a few times over the weekend, NO answer. Tried again this morning, NO answer. Finally got hold of him this arvo and he said "shit has gone down" and I cannot get the parts I had been speaking to him about. Which was only some seats and mirrors which I was going to get my dad to bring back for me this week. When I spoke to him a couple weeks ago he said he hadnt been there since I was there which sounded strange because he told me he quit his job to clear that yard and would be getting things sorted for people to come view which is why I posted here. Very frustrating as Im in wellington and he is in auckland This is his number if any one wants to call him 0226498945 address is 318 neilson road, Onehunga If some one is close and wants to stop in to see whats going on. Im after a front panel for a 77 mark 2 which is the same shape as a 1979 x30 cressida, x40 corona, x41 mark 2 etc etc.

I was thinking about your C110 but Im in wellington now so hope fully some one has a good eye for the C110.

I seen more than a few sets and all looked really tidy.

The scrap yards tendered but some one else got it to clear. Will keep all posted as Id love to see it saved.

I was in auckland this week and meet a guy who had a shit load of old toyota, mazda, nissan, datsun parts. Mainly doors, front panels, bonnets etc. I said I would post on here to give people a heads up as he will be laying every thing out to make it easy to work out whats what in the next few weeks. Id hate to see some of this stuff go to waste as there was alot of good stuff there. I seen a few old crown(72ish) panels which were mint. I didnt have enough time to look but when he has his open day, Take money as you wont be disapointed.

Feb, march, april, may. Been a while. To date engine box and drive shaft done then I got a datto. Car in dry free storage so no problems. Also have plates now thanks to my main man Wulf. Although of a RX40 sedan the car was registered as a corona mark2 and will get me semi rolling. Till next time

Yeah keen as. Want to try different panels in different products or even use some on another one of the whanau wakas.

Saweet. I reckon with all the different products I could maybe do a panel in each to compare. I watched target today and they tested fetilizers and the size in the radich was noticeabily different. Any way Il keep you all posted. Get a wheel going.

Sweet as. If you make mounts using the same cross member I will be keen for a pair. I dummied up some but thats as far as I got before moving on to the datto. I think they could be done better and thicker and nicer and yeah.

Will do.

I had it dry stored for years and the metal didnt change at all. Its since been moved and gets surface rust even though the place doesnt feel damp. Will look into the GIBBS and POR15 range. Fish oil reminds me of some one so dont really want to use it. Will see how it turns out and get some pics up. Cheers Kane

We have a 47 ford coupe that was taken back to metal 20 years ago. Its still the same and in pretty good condition. Its still all steel and was wondering what we can put on it to keep it shiny? Pretty much want to leave it all complete and looking good until I start earning some big money and start it. Its complete plus extras. Any advice on products etc would be helpful. Cheers Kane

Haha with effort, love it. Are datsuns strong enough to do so? I got given a s110 and vanette diff so will look at getting those in at some point. For now its drive and hope fully have some cuddles with a special lady* in the back *special lady yet to be found

Anyway you keen on this motor Allan? Like I said there is no rush as I still got a RB25det sitting there plus parts from the coupe and I know its all safe. Cheers Kane

Hey I dont know much, but I brought a set of new pistons for my 18r. Il get sizes etc as car is sold and they are just sitting there. They might work for you as they a slightly over sized from memory. Kane

What she said when I towed it home and what I thought a week later.

Its a 76 120y 3 door wagon. Rear seats flip down so I can sleep when the world goes crazy. I posted on datsun.co.nz to get help finding parts as it was used as a parts car. Its all sorted now and have some tidy front panels to replace the mustard ones. Then I may attempt finishing off the retread 12s it came on.

Its been over 1.5 years now and my old boss doesnt seem worried at all. Just thought Id see who wants it. Cant remember what pies said about it but may have been rebuilt at some point? Mark 2 is good. Got as far as putting a motor and box in before seeing a datsun wagon I wanted, so thats been taking my spare cash for now. Mark 2 is safe and dry in free storage so not to worried. I started a thread but due to no job = slow progress I stopped. Got some pics put aside but wanted to start again once it was running. Flick me a text if you keen. Its in Tawa on a pallet. There is a forky there and open saturday mornings till 11am. Cheers Kane 0273380164

I forgot about this sitting at my old work. Came out of a 77 mark 2. If any one wants it go hard. Missing a few bits like alt, power steer pump and rocker cover. Its in tawa and there is a fork lift. Other wise its off to scrap. Its the one on the left. Pic taken from an old post.

Haha your on to me... Well gissy aint that far, it looks to be about 5 centermetres on my map bro I know you didnt use a ruler to measure that haha. Help is always here when you need it.

Bro If this is who Im thinking of your wof man is really good and even if he wasnt he wouldnt ask for cert for a 1600. He probly wont even ask for one when you get that cossy in there. Silver would be a nice colour and the gissy boys do awesome awesome panel work. Bit to far way tho.
