New Zealand Datsun Club

@otodat I am very much looking forward to seeing your k11/z11...

Pop in for a coffee.

I'm going to pop along to show and shine. Either with Datsun powered imp, or goldwing powered imp (but with datsun injectors..) or in the Datsun K11.....

I bought this complete running engine for its h89 head plus the ring gear that I needed as the ring gear on the a12 in my hillman imp is worn. The crank on this engine looks good but and the bearings whilst no doubt worn (plenty of endfloat) look scratch free. Ideal base for a rebuild with a polish ...

We bought this from a local fella we know. It had been stripped down a few years back by the previous owner, who we've since met. He was intending to fix up the rusty doors and boot floor, re-paint it all and do it up. But he ran out of mojo and admitted that the rust was beyond his level of compete...

Well we are going for it. It should be dropped off today and we can see what we've let ourselves in for and whether it's a wise choice.

Quite looking forward to just seeing it on the road and going for some hoons.

Yeah this is a problem you tidy up one area and suddenly everything else looks worse.

"ill just clean up this.. Maybe a little paint".....

Edit: Nothing to see here. We've just gone and bought the car! let the funtimes commence.....

Oh cripes. Yeah that would piss me off. Do you live next to a gravel road? When I was painting my hillman imp this summer gone it stinking hot(too hot), no spray booth and a novice painter me, a problem was sandflies etc landing on the fresh paint. Edit: yeah I see it's gravel in front of your works...

Its been a fantastic last week of sunshine over here in Sandy bay so I'm guessing you've had it good enough in Nelson to crack on with your paintwork eh? I love a car with a bit of history, especially when its been owned from when you're young. Constant evolution of modifications going on there :-) ...

Far out that has come up sweet! Good save

Yep - its still here. There's been a few inquiries but no commitment yet. Send me an email or PM.
