RIghto, so yesterday my stockcar was traded for a 72 datsun 1600 SSS..

the guy i got it off said there were quite a few parts with it..
A FEW!!!! is a friggin understatement... :owned:

atleast i can sell off the bits i dont need/want and recover some $$$ i spent on the stockcar,which was in excess of $12K...

the body is immacco,one little rust hole in the left rear door frame, but ill get that done by a panel beater...do this one properly i think..
its got a FJ20et bolted in with 5speed box..theres a link ecu and associated bits in a box with new plug leads..
it rolls on brand new/unused ever! FR17 simmons with new tyres.
i doubt the suspension is lowered,well the front isnt anywhere near lowered,brakes are stock.
theres a front mount i/c but ive noticed the front panel has been cut to accommodate it :baseballbat: GGGRRRRR, but there is a mint replacement, so i may look at binning the i/c..
the roof lining is mint and white,one small cut in the bottom of the left rear at the bottom of the pillar,meh..the dash is complete,but has one crack above the speedo..theres carbon faced autometer gauges in it where the stock gauges were,the stock gauges are in with the parts...
the boot was full of bits, mainly tail lights,headlight buckets,indicators, wiring, 2 looms, a dash thats been recovered in blue, a battery box full of inner door handles, various trims,wiper arms,indicator stalks, a early gauge set(68-69??),another one aswell
some pillar vent thing-non SSS,bumpers and number plate light things.brake and clutch master cyls,cowl/wiper vents,some i/c piping, a stock fj20et dump pipe and a custom one,some large radius exhaust bends,surge tank,fuel pump,braided line,battery cable,some odd seats from i dont know what, a datsun seat base...

i cant believe how good the doors open and close for an old car like this...

heres some pics..

if you can see a part you need let me know and ill check its quality...
theres also a HT18 turbo in a box too...rx7 maybe??
also some starters and alts,and a exhaust manifold,theres another starter thats different to the others which i hope is a fj20 starter..

so many parts it makes me sick.... :puke:

I was quite surprised to find a perma seal pack in the car, opened it up and there was a complete gasket set,even a head gasket, score :Jelly:

there are a few thing i need, a dizzy cap, parcel tray, and a center console( if these had them).
bonnet catch-unless i find it in the bits..

You're on Oldschool aye? I rememeber you were saying about doing this swap.
looks like a fucking sweet score. but for fucks sake, keep the FJ! Was the complete gasket set for the FJ? I read somewhere that FJ gaskets were getting hard to come by.
Looks like a tidy shell too. I'm jelous!
