well its been almost 6 months since ive updated this mainly cos sadly, nothing to the sss has been happening
. i also moved to tassie for uni and being in a different state to you car is a bit of a hurdle... but my parents have sold there house so now i have to get it mobile and ready to move.
yesterday with the help of Green200b and NSWdatsun, we got it started!!! and also managed to unlock the brakes which was mainly due to two twelve inch stockies off the Y on the front and a very tight handbrake cable.
when running it was lumpy as! but we worked out that it only having two cylinders firing would do that and with a lap of the block with no bonnet, no plates, little trip, and only those two cylinders firing, oh and brakes that had no pads on one side(seemed to work better) and needed to be pumped every time we wanted to stop, we struggled to get it home again. MAX SPEED 20Km/h
some pictures as to follow and and videos or two, including action shots thanks of green200b
with a quick trip to AutoRanch to pick up some new spark pugs and leads and all four cylinders fired! sounds 500 times better, loud but good. and sounds so much healther.
plan is to get the brakes up to scratch tomorrow arvo and have it drivable by saturday where it MIGHT take part in a trip to buxon... but we'll see. i have three weeks back in vic and would love to get some work done on it but i cant afford to spend much on it so that full body re-spray might just have to wait.
oh, and did i mentioned we attracted airborne police. after our little drive around the block, with no bonnet clearly visible from above, the helicopter circled my place at least 4 times
