Not much of an update but fitted my 10 day early birthday presents. Boss Kit, shifter knob and steering wheel. (please ignore the fact that the nissan is upsidedown. Im looking to get a datsun one like the shifter, but need a horn atm)

Thanks to Runamuck for the sweet grille. Bargain. Gave it a clean and just slotted in. 

Old vs Nicer looking old

I like it. 

Pic-less update, but bought some door wing mirrors from Thailand. turns out they are huge. will see if they look ridiculous on the car. Also have the builders round tomorrow, getting a false floor installed in the garage as its too small to have a car but big enough for a room. So any1 wanting to flat in the Chur. let me know. Will get some pics tomorrow of stuff. Also bidding on a grille in AUS as never liked the current one. Will see how that goes.

 

Nice Y man, Do you have any pics on how you mounted the central locking solenoids? Have the same kit for my 180B just haven't got round to mounting the motors.

 

Will try get a pic for you tomorrow. I still need to sort the rear doors as the mounting gear that came with the set was for a certain diameter door lock bar thing. Need to jerryrig a wider brace. But for the time being its so nice to have fronts

Cheers Bling. Still havnt got round to it. But yeah very awkward spot. Must have been a leaking seal as the opposite side was fine. 

I actually hadnt thought about that so will look at getting them screwed into the parcel tray or something other than bungie cords

Sweet wagon. will look mean in the blue. Couple of questions if you dont mind answering

1. Was the A15 just a straight swap, no altering of anything ?

2. the sedan grill hard to fit or did it slip right in ?

and 3. did the chin spoiler just drill/bolt onto the valance ?

cheers

Finally figured out how to remove the hub caps and actually look at the shocks, leafs, discs and drums. All seems to be in good order but will look into new brake pads and some lowering blocks. 

Have my eye out for some wheels. Still unsure of what would suite this though. I like shiny dish but then I like the rusty look. Also searching for roof racks. 

Also removed the steering wheel

And in doing so snapped the right indicator wire, so spent a good hour trying to resolder. Was in the most awkward place to to the sh*t gun type Iron i use.

Also noticed that some oil is dripping, but no clue where from. Will degrease and see where its coming from sometime this week. 

And then to my horror, I found some more rust at the bottom of the rear guard

But knew this would be here as its typical old car rust. Wasnt marked on the WOF sheet but would love to get it sorted as can get real bad coming into winter.

I did purchase some bungee cords to hold the amp in. Thinking about getting a small subwoofer for the lolz. Will go to the pawnshop and barter for something in a nice looking box.

Out with the old and in with the not as old. Just need to source a Boss kit to fit. 

So have been pretty lazy over the past while. Garage conversion has taken priority as it will help with mortgage. Anyway did an oil change because it was low and I wanted a clean slate for Oil. Bought a new filter as well that looked good.

Super black stuff comes out

Nice golden stuff goes in.

Took it for a run around the block and definitely felt smoother.
