Gday guys jus thought id start a thread of me build up! Long story short had an awesome 1600 here in WA 2 owners an every dollar spent( car came wid 45K worth receipts!!). After pouring some more coin into her i decided the quarter was great fun but wanted try me luck round barbagallo.. young, bald tyres, high boost an no track experience= rollova!! So that me story!! Purchased a shell from ova east but needed heap work so ended up grabbin another off of MR1600 aka Graeme here in wa. still needed heap work though and other projects took alot of time too!! Im fortunate enough nothin else was damaged durin roll besides the shell an me pride but you get that jus one of those expensive lessons in life!! i am jus dre4amin of that day i can jus turn the key go for a cruise an giv it hell without worry of anythin goin wrong like the good ol days!! The car spots huge list of additions an mods so here goes... -Sr20DET forged pistons, garrett ball bearing gtrs28.., standard cams but will be rebuilt soon did hav detuned from 286hp atw to 263hp quarter times were betta! 13.1 best on bald street tyres! -new shocks springs -coilovers up front -adjustable strut tops -whiteline sway bar front and strut tower brace -Brembo 4 pot front rotors drilled rotors ferodo pads -R31 rear calipers, slotted rotors ferodo pads -coated turbo manifold, custom exhaust, stainless muffler and tip -Simmons FR17 -adjustable brake bias knob in cabin(sshh dont think legal) -momo steering wheel and gear knob -early 1968 datsun 1600 dash(mph) much better lookin!! -recaro reclinable bucket seats - the list goes on but will add as memory starts workin!! |

next step was to get another panelbeater m8 over to go over the whole thing panel by panel and align the panels and doors!! many good days he spent workin on her.. alot due to fact the car was covered in black chassis paint we think so no good to paint over.. all had be taken back bare anyways!!

You've put a lot of work into the body. Can't wait to see it with a lick of paint. |
