no real progress on this other than archetype is making some side stripes for me. has anyone had any experience with these repro carburettors on ebay ect? I'm tossing up wether to just get one of them or mess around re-kitting one of the originals i have would be nice for one to turn up and just bang it on if they are not too bad quality. going to clean up a air cleaner for it then thats the engine bay mostly done except for wiring.

nice car man, my work mate has one the exact same colour lowered on 15's, cool little cars, wood grain is neat looks good

i hate surprises, show us the paint job! going to look the business on those wheels and tyres nice work!

haha good things take time and life chucks everything else in the way also, yeah look forward to seeing a vid of it on a track, its now got me wondering wether i could fit a set of those itbs to my NA motor in my ute to ditch the carb! keep up the good work

just read your thread awesome build notch backs are a sweet looking car, trumpets look cool on the engine too!

dremels are so handy can get into those places grinders can't reach! awesome progress too

dam it overseas then

wow that sill looks similar condition to the cab i cut up for patch panel, much respect for taking on the task of repairing that, look forward to seeing how you tackle it

awesome work with the floor repairs nice job with the channels. awesome thread but i find a lack of furry friends compared to all your other threads? does kevin not approve of station wagons? or not a fan of patina? keep up the good work, also another vote for avo on toast my slice of choice being burgen.

date of pigeon valley meet please?

exhaust is finished, looks good all painted and done, i removed the lsd and put the open head back in, wired up the taillights and have painted up headlight buckets getting ready to put the front back together, still need to put the new clutch hose in and test it for free play/set it up. also need to try and find/trace the oil pressure and water temp wires from the dash and remove all the extra wiring for the rotary, lots of little things to go, just going to get it going and worry about interior after driving it for a month or two.

i had a aftermarket ecu in my old series 7 and it ran sequential twin turbos fine….... but it was a power fc. just plug in and go but they change between series 6 and 7 with different plugs i believe. these megasquirts sound like pretty cool bit of kit and be awesome putting it together yourself

mate this is awesome love your work

cheers man! yeah it looks far better with that piece carried through

just wondering if anyone has played around with courier lsd nuggets or has any diagrams/specs? I'm guessing some one has added shims to the one i have put in my ute as it scuffs the tyres really bad as soon as you start to turn its even really hard to push it around. I'm thinking ill chuck the open diff i have back in for now but i would be keen to have a go at setting it back up to work normally for when i chuck a mx5 motor, if anyone has any info about them it would be much appreciated

sweet car looks tidy, i like your back seat cover ariba ariba!

towed it down to work to do the exhaust i had over adjusted the brakes, so adjusted them again today and backed them off a bit, sits at not a bad height id almost say it needs to go down slightly more in the rear just a touch? chucked the new dizzy bits together and checked the lead lengths, looks all good, need to suss the wiring for it next exhaust has been made and sitting in place, just needs the mounts welded on then pull it out to paint then back in and weld muffler in, stoked with the job they did need to get the carb back on, suss more wiring and grease every thing while its up on the hoist. also have the little brothers escort down the shed, t has a 12a and s1 box that needs the gearbox out, it crunches into 2nd and 3rd.

picked up the radiator from being recored today, looks good. not cheap but wanted to keep original copper jobby. sat it in, need to source some new hoses, and hook up the heater hoses also next job is to get the exhaust done

Hey Baxter, Thanks man appreciate it! keen to see some photos of your b1600 you should make a thread. is there many around in south africa?

cheers man, nice should chuck up a thread with your progress need more old mazda utes on here for motivation! that chassis it was on had qa1 coil overs in the front in modified shock towers in the chassis hence the holes in the inner guards and reset 2" leaves with 2"blocks in the rear.

small progress this weekend finished handbrake set-up today and adjusted up under body shot while i was down there still need to drop it down to see how it sits with reset leaves found a new coil i forgot i had score! also got a new slave cylinder but it does not come with a push rod and i don't have any old ones to pinch the push rod from, does anyone have one laying around they could measure so i can make one?

looks like a nice clean seven! are you making just the one electronic tester or a few extras to sell?

looks awesome in the nzpc! well done

sweet ute man, will be awesome with the 3rz in it, nice work

Hey, cheers mate i was stoked how it turned out one of my old boys mates did it for me at his work, i was thinking of making up a cabinet so could do more stuff myself
