ChatGPT inspiration…but never going to happen.

That looked like a great buy, pleased to see it's on here so I can see the progress.

Always liked the look of these things. Had my eye on one as a potential first car in the early 80s but got told no.

Reverse thread was only on the left side normally, meant to stop the nuts coming loose thanks to the rotation of the wheels lol.

Quite a few old cars were like that.

If you want to know more about the Gloria's give me a bell as I imported a HA30 Gloria out of Japan many years ago and had it for a few years before selling it.

PA30 is the base model HA30 is the deluxe model

The "H" prefix usually denotes "premium engine" 

The KP510 was the 1600 coupe, and the KH510 had the 1800 (purely as an example)

So an H would have been fitted with an L28?

I got some rear wheel spats for oneof these if your keen

No unfortunately they had an L20 but mine came with a L28 as I bought it off a japanese speed shop and it had triple carbs big exhaust etc etc
