Actually the SW would mean that it receives AM... don't know where my head was when I typed that...lol

Looks very much like a turbo of a 1.7 Isuzu/Opel diesel...

Ya, the arches were a spark of brilliance by the guy who's doing the body work for me, he said he's always wondered what Golf arches would look like on a Escourt or Datsun, so we did it.

These radios were common in Datsun cars in South Africa at least. This particular one was a factory/dealer fitment in a VW beetle, though I've seen many Datsun cars with the exact same radio. Luckily it doesn't have any VW logos on it, so it might as well pass as a Datsun item.

In our case it does actually stand for Short Wave, though I only know of one station in ZA that broadcasts on SW, their called Talk Radio and I like listening to music...

Does it have papers?

Oh man if I was closer I'd have been there with a trailer tomorrow. I'd love to have seen it up close, mine looked the same, but it didn't have rust where it weakens the shell, would have loved to see where the major rust is on this one.

I'd even consider taking it just for the parts that are getting scarce...

Post pics please.

They are so cheap to freshen up, I'd just pull the whole thing and give it some love...

On my brother in law's CA we simply tapped thread and turned capscrews in there with some Locktite to keep them in place. Works a treat and no warped intake because of welding...

The 60-2 trigger wheel is a custom designed one. I'll be using a local built ECU, either Dictator or Perfect Power.

Here's the 60-2 parts disassembled. It's the standard 20V pulley that came on the motor that's been machined, the front ancillary pulley has been completely removed and the rest machined only enough to have flat surfaces where they are needed. The 4AGE pulleys have 2 bolt holes, I suppose for a puller, from the factory so it won't be any weaker than standard.



Here's the whole thing assembled. As you can see very compact and will look good on the motor. 100% fully adjustable to any angle you might need. I'll be placing the sensor in the fanbelt loop if you understand what I'm getting at, so the sensor doesn't need to be removed to replace the fanbelt.



We've already checked, we will be able to do this with any of the many variations of 4AGE pulleys there are.

And some more progress pictures of the body coming together.

Just go search for Mazda 323 1.5 GT, you'll find it soon enough. I've worked on a few of them, I know it well enough.

The Toyota 3T motor came out with a very similar setup too, but this is the Mazda one.
