Hi All,
I'd like to introduce my new baby..... '77 200b Wagon, In complete original trim, right down to the cassette player, minimal rust, average paint
.
This is my second 200b. My first road legal car was a '78 200b sedan that i promptly pranged and blew up... It cost me $700 to buy and got my license in it.
Long story short, after 15yrs i have decided that i needed a project to work on, and what better one than to get back to something i loved as a kid.
I have some lovely plans for the old girl being a weekend cruiser/Quarter mile hero on the odd week (Sportsman Wednesday at Kwinana), unfortunately my wife doesn't share these plans. Soooo... the build will be a long drawn out build, First step is already taken care of... Made room in the garage (Check).
Starting from the top the list goes...
1 Touch up the body work, and remove the small rust spots in the bottom of the doors.
2 Diff. R31 if i can get one.... and without weighing into the Diff debate im open to easier options.
3 Brakes/suspension (Haven't really decided yet, was thinking R31 brakes on 200b struts.)
4 SR20det conversion. This will be my first engine conversion, so kind of winging it for the most part..... I would love to hear from anyone that has done this before (Hints & Tips)
5 Fuel pickup. VL dunnydore (from what i read)
4 See what she will do down the local quarter....
I would love any help and info from others that have been here before, and look forward to chatting to you all.
Cheers
Thatoldat.
