Re: debating making The Defect III roadworthy....

yeah had a lot of fun doing that... *sarcasim* it's had three sets of doors on that shell already, the original set, the set off the original Defect, and the set that's on it now...
still have the full set of doors for it too... which are on the Black 120Y... however all of the doors I have are all cracking around the where the hinges bolt onto the doors, so either have to weld them up or it's reproduction panel time... I would really like to make it a PB210 replica, but keep it A powered.... thought about SR20DET with the turbo and injection replaced by a pair of sidedraft or motorbike carbies... but gotta be able to get that roof straight first... rusts not too bad in it, needs new sills, whe battery tray's rotted out, and there is the issue where the left guard bolts on near the windscreen - ie typical rust spot... right hand side's not too bad

The real trick is making sure the doors line back up, I suspect you'll have some fun with it.

Damn! A mate of mine would have probably swapped them both for a VERY tidy and lic'd 120!

I'd tend to agree with you there, but the other 120Y in the background.... is now just a stripped out shell and my other (black) 120Y is so rusted out it's not even worth touching.....
only thining about getting it roadworthy if the roof damage is repairable... Chev's sold, waay too much work for me, and too expensive, got $800 bucks for it and the same year (1951) chev ute I had...

I may be a Datsun Deviant, but if I had all those cars to play with, I'd do up that Chevy!!
 What year is it, 50 or 51? Are all the parts there for it?
