Hey, thought id put some pics up of my long term project car

Its a 73 1200 sedan with rear doors welded closed, fire wall modified, cg13de engine set back 300mm, t50 gearbox, ae86 diff head with trd lsd unit in roadstar housing, dc2 type r integra front brakes all round etc..... Im in no rush to get it done, just like tinkering to see what i can make work on it. Haven't driven it since it had its factory running gear... some may have seen it on other forum

It will be road legal when done, um cg13 because its lighter, fuel injected and easier to make power.... was white a long time ago

This car was on trademe a good 4 years or so back out oxford (or rangiora?) way with a sidedraft equiped L series yeah? I'm pretty sure I remember it.
It should be extremely nimble with that engine, and being set back so far too.
