mutiny Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 well l23s ready to come out, and a l26 has found its way into my garage. few differences, starter motors are on different side which will easily be over come as they just attach to the sandwich plate so ill run the l23 one. water hose is on a different size so will just be a matter of running longer pipe for now. have got the brakes un siezed, brake shoes in front seem kinda low so will be getting them re lined, rears still have quite a bit of meat so will leave them for now. considering its drum all round i may get re vin and then look into doing something else later on down the track with putting some dics on. have started the rust repairs, have started on rear right door, ready for patchs on the outside. couple doors need some patchs, couple are still solid, both front guards require a repair at the bottom. one rear guard needs a small patch, whole front of bonnet needs new steel, overall wasnt as bad as i was expecting. floors are all really solid, probably due the the inch thick layer of grease on the under side of the car. anyway heres some pics, l23 ready to come out, note the sweet exhausts they have heres the l26, will throw in some new frost plugs and paint the block then wack it in one night this week couple interior shots for you piners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutiny Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 having had quite some time off work being ill i decided to push the datsun outside and clean up the garage, i thought while i was at it id take some photos. isnt heaps of progress. got my new welder setup and running swell so have been tackling the rust, explains why the rear door is off, started with that as its by far the worst. motor wise, well all i can say is fuck l series, parts from the l23 and l26 really werent as interchangeable as i was hoping. i hate to say it but im gonna put a sr in it. before anyone says anything id like to state that i am far more dissapointed in myself than any of you could be. really not what i wanted but so much fucking around with the l series has just got me so unmotivated. this tough cunt is running side draughts, this is ideally what i want to doanywhere heres some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
