Rusty Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Went and picked up the datsun 120y coupe today. Its in mint condition outside and in a few little things to like put in the A15 and lower 1 and half inches more in the front and then off to get it a wof and rego and will drive it around like that and do up another A15 as funds allow. and then will have the car painted this blue.

Rusty Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Just an update: Last week I blew the engie and diff up. this week my mechanic pulled out the engine and decided to pull the 4speed gearbox out aswell. He put my short shift 5 speed box in along with my spare A15. Also changed diff. The 5 speed has made a considerable difference. Next week: The exhaust will be getting repaired. I also have to find some heater hoses. To do list: Immediate future: Get exhaust fixed Get new heater hoses Get smaller tyres get camshaft ground get front passanger tray put hot head on new engine bearings later on: Get panelbeated and painted wheels galvanised or rechromed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
