Looks great mate. don't mind those wheels either they look alright. You musta worked quick looks like you you got it all together pretty easy. Whts the plans for it? Just a cruiser

Thanks mate, i did get moving on it but it is all pretty easy with no changes, just had to assemble it really. No other plans for it, its just to drive to work in as I no longer have a company car. Will see what happens but will probably just stick with the k motor, maybe stuff around with it a bit, carbys don't like me.

I drive this lil old beast to work every day, i put 30 litres in it per fortnight to drive 1hr 15 min per day, .so its a good thing really.,

 

anyways its been running a bit sick this week, and been using a heap of water with no visable leaks, so i thought bhg. it blew a pipe a few months ago too so it got a good cooking.

 

anyways i go to the shop yesterday, come out and she cranks half a turn then stops suddenly. so i think waterlock. i call up my mate ash to come rescue me with a spark plug socket. he rocks up, tells me it needs a 13b, pulls the plugs, crank her over and number 4 sprays a load of water out. so we quickly chuck the plugs back in and i drive the old beast home.

 

so an hour later about 1 pm yessterday the head is sitting on my floor and I'm calling around for some head gasket.

 

So today i put it all back together, went to repco at 9, picked up the vrs, to the old mans for the torque wrench, had it all back together by 1. not how i planned my sunday morning but happy to be driving to work tomorrow.

 

 

 

May not be how how you wanted to spend the day, but think how easy it is to work on these cars Matt, haha

youre right, i blew a headgasket on my skyline and that was a long term affair. trying to explain to the missus that yes its done the same thing as the skyline, but no it will be fixed by lunchtime was quite funny, she didnt understand. gotta love these old things.

:-D

Nice cars mate

I envy anybody with the time, commitment and funds to have a car as awesome as your green thing and be building another one on the side!!

Very nice car. From the photo, the longchamps appeared to suit it.
