For sale is my incomplete project car, after taking the head off the engine today and finding that cylinder is ceased I've come to the conclusion that I can't have the ute finished in time for my 17th and that its better for me to cut my losses now.

I've spent roughly $7,800 on the ute to date and I guess I'll consider offers.

I am going to consider any reasonable offers, I sorta just want it gone. If I can get $7,000 for it I will be over the moon.

What's on offer?

- Re-sprayed in Volkswagen Robinrot red
- Brand new original Datsun door seals, window seals etc.
- Brand new tail lights, indicators, parking lights, rear view mirror, antenna, Speco gauges (3 inch Tacho & Speedo, 1.5 inch water temp, fuel, oil temp and volt)
- Reconditioned dash and trims
- Original seats and trims reupholstered
- Brand new carpet and sound proofing
- Brakes overhauled and reconditioned
Front: 180B calipers overhauled and reconditioned to meet original manufacturers standards, brand new rotors & disc pads
Rear: Original drums machined and relined, brand new wheel cylinders, brand new brake shoes.
- Brand new front gas cartridges and springs (1.5-2 inches shorter then original length)
- Boxes of unneeded parts and bits and peices

I've probably missed something, because this is the second time I am typing this. The computer decided to stop working as I went to post it.

What needs to be done to get it on the road?

All that this ute needs to get on the road is a replacement A12, new clutch and new rear shock absorbers and time to finish what I've started.

A replacement A12 can be bought from townie for $150 ono. Follow the link to view classified:

Are you willing to sell the gauges seperate?
If so il take them off your hands.
PM me if your interested and we can talk prices there.
Thanks

Thanks for the interest in the gagues mate but If I can't sell it all together I will just continue on with the project and hope that I can get it finished in time.

really, you are selling it as the engine is dead? A12s arent exactly hard to find and not that hard to swap either. seems like a bit of a waste to get this far and then give up over what is really a minor issue

Yeah it is a bit of a waste of time and money. And finding another replacement engine isn't that hard to come by, but having the ute finished in time for my 17th is the issue, and I have warmed to the idea of having a car with a/c and power windows. If it doesn't sell, well then I'll finish it. But if I can sell it, then I'd like to.

You have a PM

Still for sale.

mate i'll give you my a12 if you complete it! I'd hate to see someone give up on what was once their dream, purely because i was at the same stage as you where i was struggling with it. Well i still am haha. If you're going to lose money selling it, why not lose money finishing it?
