Here are some not so good pics I quickly snapped last night.
Unfortunately to fit an intercooler I had to brutalize the car in ways I didn't intend to... in my defense I have 4 intercoolers now, all of which I have tried to make fit to avoid cutting the car at all...
From the front
Engine bay (lots of things still mocked up and not in final resting place)
Fuel system in the boot. I made a bracket to hold the bosch pump plus the lift pump. It also has holes for all the hoses to run through to keep things neat.
Just working on getting the bearing sorted to finish the front brakes and get started on the rear. I am trying to get it back on the ground right now, just for a sense of achievement...

Re: Jeremy's 1965 Datsun Bluebird 410
Thanks. Certainly ended up a lot more crammed in then I hoped for. In he-insight I may have gone NA or turbo. The supercharger does take a lot of room, and that was really the only place I could stick it with the tight chasis rails and running injected.Dattochriswagon wrote:Wow! Thats looking amazing!

Adding things like a booster hasn't helped, but I do want a very drivable car (i.e. something my wife can drive to).
So slowly coming together. My goal right now is to get it back on the ground!

Re: Jeremy's 1965 Datsun Bluebird 410
Thanks man. It's on the go slow right now as we are moving to a new house, which means we are renting a little cottage in between with no garage so everything is in a container. Should be back into it in a few months.joelbrown wrote:I just stumbled across this build for the first time, i can say i will definatly be looking forward to some updates from it, it really put a smile on my face, an inspired build man
Next items are finishing the brakes (new lines etc) and getting some wheels that clear the calipers. I have one of these on the way so that will help: Then it will probably be the accelerator cable next...

Hey Bart,
Didn't get a chance yet unfortunately. Just got all the bearings together and then I had to quickly throw everything back together to get it rolling again so I could clear out the garage (apparently garages packed with car parts aren't good for house sales).
I'll let you know how I get on once I can get back into it.
Cheers
Jeremy

Re: Jeremy's 1965 Datsun Bluebird 410
Just a quick update
Moved into our new place about a month ago and on Thurs this was happening to prepare for the barn Hopefully have the car out of storage and be able to work on it again in a month or so.
Bart - sorry I missed your question about rear brakes. I haven't had a chance to play with them as the car went almost straight into storage. When it is back out I need to get the bearings off, the plates on, and new bearings pressed in.
Also, I was in Ashburton on Monday for work and saw a 410/411 on a trailer. Does it belong to anyone here?
