Beaver Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 You probably know this already but when going low on these you get mega camber and toe in at the back. Might be worth looking into options to remedy that considering the effort you are planning on! keen to see how things end up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nustad Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Cool - looks good from far........how about close up pics of the rust? Are you sure it’s bad enough to go full bore on the body. i have had my Datsun since 1997 and it’s always had rust......however tackling spots at a time is a good way to keep it on the road continuously......which is good for the mechanical bits. i know if I started a full resto it would be 10 years of heart ache! cool to have a PI - they are unique and a beautifully detailed design that has aged incredibly well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph...tristan Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 @Beaver yeah thats true! i havent looked to much into that yet, i know you can get those camber adjustment brackets for them, so they might be the go, im just needing enough camber to fit the wheels, but with out it being stupid haha.

Tumeke Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 PI Lyfe. Note the interior has leather front seats only available on the PI. Be a shame to ditch em. If you do decide to get rid of the carpet giz to me cause mine's black and i don't like it (racist) Must get rid of many cars so that I can work on mine again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph...tristan Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 @Tumeke yes I love the pi,s I've enjoyed following your build. Yeah I'll be keeping the original interior for sure! I'll get it all tidied up! Yeah I'll let you know! The pi,s I've had all seemed to have a different type of material carpet to the tc ones, it's much nicer tho.

Adoom Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 14 minutes ago, triumph...tristan said: I have my mind set on two wheels at the moment but im really unsure of what ones ill use yet! I originally got the star sharks re lipped for the car but then i really liked the look of some focus racing fin wheels so i scored my self some of those, they just recently arrived from japan, ill be getting those re lipped soon. What's it cost getting wheels from Japan? My thinking is that the freight alone would make for a really expensive set of wheels, so I've never looked into it....

triumph...tristan Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 @Adoom I got them through a business called Kyusha garage. Theres also moonlight racing, You give the guy your max bid and then he sorts out all the shipping and stuff. They cost me $900 shipped to my door the wheels sold for about $500 then it was about $400 of all the other costs, its expensive but i wasent having any luck finding them in New Zealand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
