Bought a b10 from a lady whos son in law died at 42 a month ago and didnt finish restoring it.
it has a recently run in a14 with everything like new and a15 inlet and exhaust manifold. It has new master cylinder, battery, coils, alternator, starter you name it a beautiful engine bay and motorbike exhaust system.
I got in, put in first, let go of the clutch and it reversed. I almost jumped through the roof when I realised its a 5 speed with dogleg first. i took it for a spin after warming it up and blew the doors off a sylvia full of stickers and a giant parasol rear wing for 2 sets of lights maybe the weight of the stickers was a disadvantage.
Later on the way back with my ego inflated as I went through the gears I realised it only dropped 400 rpms at each smooth normal shift(is this normal?)
A thousand bucks later I took it home.
However i wonder what box it is with only a 60 stamped on its side and no other markings? The box tucks nicely like the four speed and has no webbing.
My B10 sedan coupe deserves this running gear and Ill put the a15 1567cc project on hold as this a14 deserves the webers and extractors from the a15. However its a dark blue four door and Im afraid its going to the tip. I feel guilty for this if I do. Sorry I know many of you disagree with the 4 door being only 20kgs heavier, but my love is with the coupe rice bento box not a strange four door whos making it jealous.
