datsun 200B wagon budget build up I bought this from an old guy at tamworth,it had been garaged its whole life.

Engine:80,000 with new reco'd head. standard l20B with a side draught webber,pacemaker extractors,2' exhaust.
It blows heaps of smoke so i plan on putting new rings and bearings,while im in there im going to throw a new cam in there...help?

Gearbox: standard jap 4spd,plan on a aussie 5spd.

suspension:i bought it and it had been lifted 1inch all round to tow a caravan,it had 7 leafs in the back.i took 4 out flipped 2 over and put em all back together resulting in a decent ride with a little bit of body roll when cornering(nothin some stiff shockies wont fix)
It had king springs in the front which i cut roughly 2 coils out of.

interior: black fake leather....vinal?? everything is there and in perfect condition,theres one small tear in drivers seat.

SOUNDS: 2X 6' pioneers in front and a big u.s. sub in the back........strictly tripple J.

Ive done a few touch ups with the old ''pressure pack"

black: leafsprings,spare tyre stuff,diff,winscreen wipers,air vents,bonnet mirror mounts,headlight surrounds,radiator(top)

crome:radiator cap,grill,

blue: tappet cover brake fluid lids.

everything else is clean,degreased and polished.

Bad points:I was playing silly buggers on a rainy night and punched it into a gutter,so now i need a new controll arm(passenger)help??
drivers side rear wheel arc had a ding (gettin fixed soon) along with the stone chips on bonnet.new carb and extractors havnt been dyno'd yet.

Now if your gonna say "you shudnt cut springs,you shouldnt this or that" dont.i am poor so thats how i........uhh ''it'' rolls.

Photobucket is your friend. I haven't tried to use the forum uploader, but given the number of people that can't make it work, I'd say photobucket is easier.

Nice 200B, by the way.

Wholy ****......

when i first started this a year ago,i had no idea what a camshaft was....

Since then i have pulled apart 3 L18's 1 l20 and a l16.

I now have a L20W block with a port/polished a87 head.

Mild cam,ultra light flywheel. 4spd L26 4 speed(destroyed a 5sp)

a pair of 45mm webers running 165 jets, through a redline manifold.

Series 3 B'bird elec dizzie.

Without air filters or exhaust i can get it from 0-100 in just over 6 seconds.

I rebuilt all of this with my dad (im 22 y.o.) from start to finish.

Oh and an exceedy H.D. clutch,somehow ive managed to spend over 9 grand building this.Ive blown up 2 engines in it before i built the one i have now,next up im gonna stick some r31 struts under the front and give it the whole r31 rear axle....maybe,i need to do a little more research but i can buy the lot for about $400.

I don;t want to know how much I've spent building my 200Bs over the years but yours looks far better. Don't sell it, it's pretty unique. Just enjoy driving it.
