kyteler Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 A shame it's not an L28 one, otherwise fuck yeah. So rare nowadays, they rusted faster than corollas were manufactured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robs30m Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nissan P40, 145hp @ 3800rpm. The engine was made for these. Manufactured from 1960 to 1980 in different trims etc. It runs beautifully, needed a new plug and leads, but other than that it is smooth and quiet (well as quiet as a pushrod engine gets). Cheers for the welcome! Main aim is to get it a wof then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robs30m Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Its really solid, engine mounts on all four corners and they are beefy! Chassis box section is large, leaf springs are heavy duty and two of the leaves wrap around the eyes at either end. Very agricultural to drive, loud and big! Love it.

robs30m Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 First off is get it legal, then from there get more detailed with cleanup, redo tray in some nice timber, etc. Its a solid 4wd and will see some track work, just nothing that will damage her.

kiwi808 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hey, looking at your pictures it looks like you can take off the white 'removable soft-top' then fold down the front window for maxium coolness? Correct? Also, for the tray you could do some nice stained hardwood instead of ply? Or just get nice ply and stain? This thing rulz. Excited.
