Having finally decided to return Alistair's 200B, the NSW Datsun, I happened upon a Yellow 200B, that used to belong to Zanvour's Great Grandmother. However, whilst Zanvour wished to purchase it, certain reasons, *cough* pessimistic elderly citizens *cough* prevented him from doing so. So, I decided to save it from certain death *cough* wrecker's yard.
Here are some photos of it, after a wash and polish. These were taken in Green 200B's driveway.
My plans were initally to dissect the car totally, and put a push-rod Holden V8, with a trimatic auto gearbox behind it, just to go along with the Australian tradition of ruining motor vechicles. However, having noticed it's originality, and the fact that it actually goes faster than Alistair's modified Green 200B, I decided not to butcher the car, and leave it Grandma spec. Basically, any modifications done, will still allow the car to be returned to stock, in order to preserve the car's history.
So far, I have applied a manly new grill and headlight protectors.
At the moment, for roadworthy, it requires a new exhaust, new tie-rods, new windscreen, new tyres and rear light lenses.
Some of these parts have been, or will be kindly donated by Green200B, and his gigantic stockpile of random 200B spare parts.
