I'd be stocked to get my hands onto a clean wagon - unfortuantely doesnt seem there are any going locally currently. Would be nice for just something simple rebuilt A12 or A14/15 just as a decent daily. Then no doubt it would end up as another project lol.

Yeah knox auto carpets melbourne.. yeah realised its a bit loose around the trans tunnel guess ill just run some extra under felt or sound proofing so it fits snug.

I totally agree keep it good! the last you want to happen after all of this work is to have it scratched in a parking lot...
I could see a 1200 wagon happening, have you got one locally? Maybe a fresh a12/14?

Yeah nice headlights.

I'm assuming you meant the carpet was from Knox Auto carpets in melbourne? If it was check the tunnel, i got some made for my ute and im pretty sure the tunnel was moulded from an auto trans therefore making it a larger looser fit.

Certainly not going to be to happy if it becomes a daily :(

May mean i have to spend some cash and get myself another daily if the ford dies.. Sounds like a great excuse to get my hands on a 1200 wagon :P

Most happy about the fix cheers for the pointer.

For headlights I have the H4 crystal headlights :) they don't look to bad

I know how you feel about not wanting it to be a daily, if you can avoid it totally keep it good! I're heard of too many Datsuns being eyed off and/or stolen in the past couple years, its a real shame!
Maybe think about installing some elec door locks and also a cut off switch...

Glad you sorted out the problem, i did the same thing with my single sidedraft on my h89 head haha whoops! I believe the stock manifold covers the holes.

Look forward to seeing the interior finished, what head lights are you going to use? Stock or inserts?

So i pulled apart the head on the weekend and much to my surpise as Stock1200ute suggested it could be the water jackets on the head, in which he was 100% correct.

So i gave them a small tap put in some small bolts and fixed it up along with some automotive silicon put it all back together and its now running a treat :)

I got the carpet from knox rock up today along with the interior so ill go ahead and get it all into the car and get some pic's up.

Still awaiting my dash to come back but should have it by the weekend so close to finally being finished

Quote:

Umm to be honest i am still unsure what i will be doing.. With some issues with my daily currently and really no other funds to go out and burn on another daily.

My first car i had was a Toyota surf in which i regret selling as i completed a Toyota Soarer engine swap (1UZ-FE) with a snake suspension upgrade and 3inch body lift in which i sold to a mate for $6000.00, still have no clue why i sold it.

But now my old man gave me his old EB ford in which now has 300K + kilometres on it and has latly been blowing white smoke and burning oil and with alot of my cash gone into the Datsun its really the only viable Daily as the EB looks like it may die soon and need a rebuild or i may put some cash into it and possibly put a windsor in as my brother just removed his out of his XC Ute.

Certainly going to be very reluctant to running my baby as a daily as i never know what may happen when its left parked for work or something out in the weather, guess ill have to wait and see over the next couple months

i'd preferably rather it as a weekend cruiser, and that one off drive during the week as i am just too scared what some dickhead may do to it

Yeah that's awesome, I have an a15 on the way. If only j had the money for a set of brand New carbs! It's almost cheaper to go EFI!!!!!!
Will this car just end up being a weekender or what??

Quote:

The internals for the A15 are fairly stock, besides:
CAMSHAFT 312-7.5
A15 lightweight pushrods - (bprojects)


So all the work is mainly done in the head everything else is still stock.

The strut brace is actually a maddat strut brace

The webers are most certainly brandnew got the webers and redline A15 manifold from Recarb had to wait 5 weeks for the carbies tho as i didnt want some rebuilt old ones.

Cheers mate its almost there i just cant wait to have it finished

Went back and read through when I had a spare minute. Love how neat this thing is!
What are the internals of the A15? Worked, stock???
I like th strut brace too, were abouts did u pick that up from?
Those webers look bloody good too, did u pick those up brand new? They look very clean!
Awesome job on the ute, well done can't wait to see more!

very neat mate... looks good
