Shit, with the antique EFI binned, there's not much to a datsun engine.
I'd perhaps hit up Dattodevil, or talk to Classicdat.
If you want you could talk to Darryl at economy auto repairs. He's a good dude, with many years experience turning spanners on cars. (He's a wiz with SU's too)

Well its been a busy last couple of months since my last post....unfortunately not for the Gloria

Ended up buying my first house! so all of my attention has been to fixing a few thing around there! therefore not much has changed on the Gloria, Its still registered and warranted and running though! :thumbsup:

Therefore i plan on actually coming to my first NZD meet at Akaroa!

So plan now is to save all my spare pennies for some new rims, I was never a huge fan of the D windows so cant wait to get a new set of shoes on her

Looking at a set of RTS Welds

You may have seen them on Sheepers MS51 Crown on old school! http://www.flickr.com/photos/snoozinrichy/9289613101/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thoughts?

Whatever makes you happy bud. It is your car. Don't let others taste dissuade you into rims YOU won't like.

Those wheels are sweet, how wide do you think you can go front and rear?
