Awesome Progress, love your work, good to see this getting some love.
Look forward to meeting you and seeing it at the Nats.

Look forward to it, will be taking the president down, need the space for kids and gear, the 1200 can be used if anyone is in need of a driver though

What a generous offer, I would imagine you might get some southerners interested in it.

Stripped the inside of the front guards, primed, painted and under sealed. Will leave them standing on their ends with some fisholene soaking into the joins for a couple of days

Went to Hamilton yesterday and got a tin of matte black, happy times for me ahead and happy holidays to all you Datsuners

Have spent most of the summer trying to get the bonnet and front end sorted on this thingbonnet was flattened out from being sat on etcstripped the underside to sort rust/repaintthen back to black, which I have no pics of. The outside looks rougher than ever as I ran out of time/motivation so maybe next year [emoji4]

This thing has been a little trooper, clean wof sheets and no breakdowns. I replaced the manifold gasket before the last cruise as sounded like it had an exhaust leak. Even got the right oval port gasket for once

But it was exactly the same, thinking it might be a crack in the extractors as the noise goes away when it’s hot. Time will tell I guess

Wow, a whole year and then some has gone by since I last did anything with this. I haven’t even driven it for ages. Pulled it out this week to get it ready for a wof. Had a warning last time on a bit of rust in the engine bay so cut and patched that. Then found the exhaust leak on the extractors and applied some bird shit to that. It was a good 45 mins of chasing holes as the steel is getting paper thin. I’m going to need to replace them soon, thinking I may just source a standard manifold.

Ive got a standard manifold here if you need one

[Otodat]

Cool, I’m after the type that doesn’t have the heat transfer bit to the intake
