BTW this first post is a huge cut and paste.
Basics.
1971 Datsun 1200 4 door sedan.
Body has been stripped, soda blasted, rust cut out and new panels welded in their place, painted in toyota 3t3 paint, whatever the hell that is, metallic red camry paint imo. I bought it like this. The previous owner also had a crazy idea that retrimming the stock seats with some stupey patterned crap from late model pulsars would be a great idea, so the interior looks nice, but #OOPS# at the same time. Also has a dumb subwoofer mounted in the rear parcel tray which makes me cry when i see it. I hate this and will remove it at one point. Since I got it I have changed the wheels to 15x6.5 watanabe's, also put 280zx struts in with slotted rotor's and coilovers. Rear leafs have been reset, camber/castor tops in the front aswell.
Parts i have grabbed from around the joint are.
- ca18det, in bits, currently putting it together, going to clean up the head a little bit and remove the #OOPS# butterfly things from the intake manifold. Have a gt2860rs turbo and stainless low mount manifold to go on with this. have stock loom and ecu aswell, and 2 manual boxes.
- R31 28 spline bw lsd, needs to be shortened and leaf mounts welded on etc.
Plans are for a fun street car, could even end up as a daily, going to get it engineered with motor as stock as possible.
Pics from when I got the car.
Pics with the front suspension done and new wheels on.
Suspension and brakes installed before the bolt on spacers.
In the garage and completely dusty.
Other shots.
Pics of it on monday with the rear suspension done.
Sorry 56k.
Anyway hacked it up a bit yesterday for the ca18 swap.
