Just another small update from last time i got home to work on the old girl.
painted the rims and put on the flappers. brought a new lease of life to it. looking a bit tidier.
Open in new window

cut out the straight through muffler and welded in a triple pass muffler. it made it a bit quieter in the high revs but its still loud on idle and when sitting on 100. im pretty sure 2.5" is just too big!?
Master cylinder was playing up and then seized when i pulled it apart so i got the master cylinder out of the sunny that should be vacuum boosted and modified to work non boosted. Managed to bleed the the brakes up by myself a bit but they still take a few pumps and ive got a feeling there is something suss going on with the brakes.
Only got to take it for a quick drive. its loud, rattly and the suspension is stiff as a board! And i love it! haha novelty will probly wear off when i try drive it 5 hours back to Geelong.

Also brought an original am radio to complete the factory interior.
