Nice Andy. Love the tin foil air cleaner lol.

You using an air con water pump for more cooling?

That is the original part for 79 sunny wagon A14 Thermostat housing. So i guess its for Air con it was a silly choice in a way cause its a bugger to fit a top hose.

Got all me dash wiring in today and fuse box all in and connected up. Heater is all connected up to. Painted me dash fascia and console with some plastic paint. Put all the fascia and instruments back together and fitted a shifter boot to the console. Seats are back in. Also fitted exhaust all back up from flange back is 2 inch should give the A14 a nice note. Getting there Hoping to rego by next Friday so i can use it to move.

looks nice andy- underneath sooooo clean.

Well not a lot has happened to this to report but it is all back together and going. Sold my VT wagon yesterday so im taking this in for a roady next Thursday. Just gotta get 2 new front tyres and all front end aligned, hopefully Wednesday. Pretty pumped to be back in a datto and have a ute will be handy with reno's and rubbish removals from me yard,trips to bunnings etc..
P.S I did end up painting the engine brackets black and put a half decent stereo in it a mate gave me. New clutch and brake pedal rubbers fitted off ebay, drivers side top hinge replaced with a nice tight one as old one had a lot of play in it.

Will be fun daily :)

All happening Now on the road 12 months Freight. For now just enjoy and feel the A series love. Going to start mocking up the L series conversion in the other ute shell and get it all ready for me Holidays.
