Hi everybody Im msjennos daughter and this car was originally mine up until i had children and then it sat in my carport for 2 years.. its a very complicated car with an A14 engine but a A12 everything else i have rebuilt the engine twice so now we just need to fix up outside and in!! anyone have any tips??

Could you give us some pictures of the car so we can work out what tips to give you?

Or what specifically is worrying you. Rust? Paint? Seats?

Pics in members photos - page 5 - 4 in total.

The body looks fairly straight from this pic.


The interior looks fairly standard besides that purple steering wheel.

What are you keen to change/fix?

That is a good photo but the rest of the interior is falling appart with springs hanging out and the back coupe parcel shelf has collapsed and broken... i know it hasnt got much rust as we got rid of it from the bonnet but i now the brakes are useless i think its leaking from the calipers

Well breaks will have to be the first thing to do I would rekon.

First check if it is leaking from calipers - they will have some 'bleed' screws on them which it might be leaking out of.

If you bleed the brakes and put new pads in and still it doesn't stop it is likely you will need to rebuild the calipers.

If that's the case you could probably just get upgraded ones.

I hear SR20 calipers can be bolted onto 120Y struts.....theres something to look into.

wat do u mean "sr20 ones"isnt that an engine,do u mean sr20 silvia or somthing.

Yeah my mistake the brakes from an SR20 equipped silvia....

i want that car

Mildman u shouldnt of said that now im going to spend money on my brakes haha
