So my datsun1200 came back from the panel beater - 300% better than it was, but im not 100% happy with it. Some of the trim was left on (but covered) when he put on body filler & sprayed it, so on close inspection it doesnt look good around some of the trim. anyway, once ive got the egine in & upholstry sorted, i'll get him to neaten it up.

I may get another shell which i want ot work on my self (with help of course) but that shell i want to strip naked & rebuild it proper!

My engine is in pieces now, rings fell to bits as the pistons came out. bore seems kind of ok, but we fitting a14 pistons & rings in there anyway.
This is going to be my daily driver & i'm planning on doing this:

-Bore out block to take a14 pistons
-machine conrods to match pistons if necessary
-lighten flywheel
-grind/lighten crank(seems as if it may have been lightened before though - bearings were on .25 as well)
-port & polish head (if i can afford - gas flow the head)
-fit a15 carb (better breathability yet trying to maintain fuel economy)
-fit exhaust extractors with freeflow exhaust.
-change cam profile to roadrace or simillar.

anything else you may bea ble to suggest that wont break the bank?
