I didn't think the flares would look good but they're just the right size :::::b <thumbs up

How does the injection fare against the twins?

i think rev just messed his undies

How do the two compare against each other??? Well the twins worked very well between 3500 and about 6500, gave good power etc, but werent that great low down. The EFI works great over the whole rev range, but lacks the sound of the twins.

Finally paint it.

Still isnt the best, but hey I just wanted all one colour.

Now I can make a start on old Monty!!

Looking schmick as! Where did you get the flares from? Were they origionally bolt on? It's like a different colour version of what I want to do. Are you going for an 80's thing also or did it just work out that way?

It just sort of happen to end up looking like this. Its not really an 80's look, as back in the day(In NZ) wide rims/mags and flare was all the rage, that "look" IMO just kinda suits the 120Y wagon.

Its good to know there is at least one other VB210 fan out there aye!!!



I have PM'ed you about the flares etc.

to me its very 70s coke bottle look very impressive, you might want to consider a chrome grille with the spotlight insets.

Wish they made more of these things they are really beautiful with flares and that colour matched bike mirror. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hey man what is the efi off? What was involved in the install? I'm really keen to do this to an A14/15 in the new year...

Quote:

Yeah I do agree that something needs to be done about the Grille, I dont have any spotlights or the brackets needed to fit them in the coupe grille. I'm not sure what I am going to do about it, I will sort something out oneday and post up the result.

Quote:

The EFI is factory A series, off sunny's etc. To install, well that was easy, just run another fuel line(for the return or main) wire in acouple of extra feeds the computer needs and its done.

Check out this thread

Painted the grille..........

I did an autocross last night..........

Tom....... Mine are only 13X7's, struts are B310, LCA's etc. I have rub but nothing to much.

Here's the update

Got some freeish paint as I need to paint her as primer just soaks up the water when it rains. Just really wanted to seal her up so it will not rust out to much as she is parked up outside.

Stripped all the shinny bits of and lights etc. Rub her down and did all the fun things that you have to do when you are about to paint a car.

But bugga me the paint reacted with the primer and has gone all orange pearly. So a days effort for jack ####.............. I am slightly pissed off.

Yeah its a #### colour, but freeish paint is hard to pass up if you are poor........ Still slightly pissed off.

Just an update..........

A14 with Dellorto's


And acouple of pictures.....

NICE !!
Where and for how much did you buy the flares???

Thanks...

The flares I got them off a New Zealand site called www.trademe.co.nz

Cool. I have been waiting for this. I see a bit of a twin brother thing going on here. I love the flares, I am thinking of doing the same thing myself as I just picked up a pair of 14x8 5 slotters and I want to squeeze 245/50R14's under the rear.

They are a great looking wagon

Or the other way would be to get a picture with the other Chris and his VB110 in CHCH.............

And I have found another mintish tailgate for the VB210, but I still havnt found one for a VB110, but you know me I will keep looking.........

if you ever find a good vb110 tailgate i will be there, waiting, begging

Chris, when I find a good one you will be the first to know.

when you find an ok one get someone to make a fibreglass mould of it, that would be the go


... not that I have a wagon anymore but one day I'll find 2

Look what I found........... Bugga!!

expensive to fix, but definitely worth it!

nothing like a 120Y without the stainless trim - I would have removed it on The Iron Maiden" but there's so much rust in the roof the trim holds it together

have a june '74 shell with not much rust - plan is to eventually put all the good bits out of "The Defect" into it

yes I wiill be busy, but I want a car I can say "I built that"!

no 30 year old car will be totally "rust free"...

It will not cost me much to fix.

It is always a good feeling know that you, your self build that. I sometime get that feeling when I am thrashing the hell out of Monty, but most of the time its "Oh bugga, what broke now???"

Fitted some better seats.....

nice choice of seat i have the same in my 120 y sedan they were in it when i brought it what are they from ?.they are quit comfy and do fit well too just the right size for a 120 y ......

That rust is not a big deal to replace with new metal if you love these rare models.

I even saw a panel van once without the rear glass I almost crashed when I saw it go the opposite way

They are from a honda and they were free, yes nice and comfy. Heaps better than the standard 120Y ones.

Once the weather warms up abit over here I will get on to the rust issues.

Got some more rust work done today........



And found a coupe grille......

Found some more rust today............ Bugga!!!






And it will get another Carb

can you put up the color code i want to paint my 1000 this color, cheers geoff

you are very lucky to find a VB210R in such a good condition

no 32 year old car will be completely rust free

even if it is granny spec

The Defect (my first 120Y) has a Football (AFL) sized hole where the guard attaches at the bottom
and you can see light through the left inner sill panel

I'm finding out with The Defect III (3rd 120Y) even though I thought it had less rust thsan my other 120Y's i still has quite a bit of rust



but The Defect III will be loosing it's spare tyre well as it's rusted out!

and 120Y's always rust out on top of where the guards mount to the bodyshell
seen it on 5 now

it's because they have absolutely NO

I knew there would be some rust issues and so far it is pretty good. I am not too worried about what I have found, as I can fix it easily enough. I think Monty was in a far worst state when I got him than the Wagon is. So, yes I am pretty lucky.

Geoff. I am not sure of the paint code, but I do think its from this chart.

My paint code is 227 on my 75' sedan. Amino Alkyde Enamel, I always used to call the colour that until I found out that was the type of paint

I may need flares...........

Thanks for the color chart ,it helps heeps ,good to see the project going well ,cheers geoff

Its come a long way so far.............

Hey Tom, Olly has my old one of these if you want one, its fair rusty though

I do believe it was designated a vb210

is that the one with bubble sunroof?? i thought it was a four door dam..i need to be more observent hmmmmm now u got me thinking

yep thats the one

Chris,

Cheater_5(Chris) is up the top of the north island and I am in the middle of the south island, so not much chance of a picture.

Tyrie,

Sorry mate but NO. I do know of another VB210 and its a five door model, but its a bit fcuked. Could ship that over to you.

As far as I know 2 door VB110 and 5 door VB110 used just that "VB" and the same goes for the VB210. But as always different countries sometimes had there own variations.

Just the rear view

awesome and looks rust-free too

ship it over to me so I can reshell mine into it ;)

Hey Blair I know that car, have you been in Wellington or did you get it delivered???I t's a nice original car that one.

Hey Wayne, how are you mate??...... I got Ross to send it down on Pacifica.

And the front view

I am as good as gold..spent the day chopping up another LWB 1200 ute to repair my "quick" fixer upper ute !!! I am now responsible for destroying 4 of the little buggers in 12 months but I stripped all of them completely but I still feel a little guilty.

Dont worry about feeling guilty, as they are going to be used for a good project.
