wont need a pan hard if you set it up like the old LC LJ torries angled upper control arms theyll control bot the lateral and longitudinal forces simple.
and i think gq upper control arms might be able to be used if they are near enough to the appropriate length

just wondering if anyones actually done this? and legalities for rego im serously considering undertaking this, along with converting the front end to coilover, just using the front leaf spring mounts for your lower control arm then making a cross member across the underside of the floor for the upper control arms wouldnt be all that hard???

These look awfully like those quads I sent you all that time ago Chris I remember pulling them apart when I first got them they were so dirty back then! I foget wether I gave them to you or sold them to you, I picked them up at a swap meet nearly 3-4 years back haha good to see they are still kicking around....

Hope it serves you well Troy I'll probably regret letting it pass on but you need more then I do so it doesn't worry me to much.

you can pick up 5 speed a series boxes over there cheap as right?
spend the money get a 20ft container stuff your car in there then fill the rest with a series 5 speeds and sell em on ebay probably cover the cost of shipping + car

80's I think not sure it's the one with the L series 4 cyl the bluebird with the ca20 has the bigger h190

Either fit flares with a modded 1200 ute diff or shorten a series 1 bluebird diff
[Edit] you could also use fwd offset rims with the 1200 ute diff

And what's the 165 out of? Ute or bluebird

First things first how good is all the window rubber? Secondly how far you restoring it? Ground up? Just slap a coat of paint? Also 2dr sedan doors fit all 1000 dashes fit except coupe nd ute dashes coupes have the uber sexy one and the ute don't have one at all (all the utes I've seen thus far and same with all the early early 1000's) if you can track down a complete coupe dash nd metal frame I'd look into doing that
My wagon rubber was #OOPS#ed so I cut out the split for the rear windows now what I'm doing with all the windows is making it like the hq front windscreen lay a bit of that sticky strip of rubber and place the windscreen nd windows on, save me trying to track down good rubber all I have to do is a lil
mod nd get a super window for the rear..
And how long till you need those bits? All my stuffs in storage so can't get it till atleast mid year, I stripped about 4 wagons all where #OOPS#ed and missing some stuff but I've got nearly everything

Chris things happen, work changes life changes and also getting into it and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when restoring these it can be lengthy and hard. that's what happened with mine I started got all the parts and everything ready to go then work changed (joined the defense force) and at the moment I still have no time after 18months of work, lucky I have the luxury of storing them and at one point I did look into selling everything, because it was easier
