You gonna have other Datsuns there on your big day?
1600 is looking awesome as always!
Thanks Brendan.

Probably won't have any other Datsuns there as it is just going to be a fairly small family affair and their are no other Datsuns in the family.

How's life in the shaky CHCH?

No issues, much better than HB anyday I reckon.
You would be very disappointed with the conditions that my 1600 lives in..... parts storage shed. No different than the last 5years anyway haha.
Have invested in a better motor option so am looking forward to fitting that when its possible.
Too many toys, not enough time.

Just a wee update on what I have gotten done over the past few days;

This is how I put the engine and box in by lowering the chassis over the engine & box while I have the engine & box set up on a frame with castors so that I can move it around.

I have also started to put the front suspension & steering back into it;

It certainly is gents. I have had it for a while now but have added Cusco camber plates to the top of the struts for that little bit extra.

It's great to finally have it all coming back together!

Thanks mate, It saves so much time and effort trying to get it in any other way.
