heres some picks of my datsun 1200 that i brought of trademe about 31/2 years ago and have been rebuilding over the past two years. When I got the car it was in standard form untill some pick did a hit and run on it, so i decided it was time to give it a overhaul

it will be repowered by an a15 with
- twim 40 dellortos
- lighten crank
- very hot cam
- bored 40 thou
- Coby D2 extractors
- 5speed gear box

All the suspention is re-powdercoated and ready to go back in the car when it is painted which will hopfully be mid to late januray, the car will be rolling on 15x7 advanti takashi wheels

I'm the guy who bought the A15 short block and then that other head off you.
