getting my licencee back in around 3 months so ive started building a daily

 

its a 1983 ae71 auto and i oicked it up for $100, it had been sitting in a paddock for nearly 5 years.. so far plans are to respray it white, have purchased coil overs and rear springs/shocks.. will be receiving a built 4ac with weber and 5 speed box.. thats about it for the time being

Painted the door jams and the car is now at work.. Pumped front and rear flares, shaved ariel and blinkers

ditched the webber idea and purchased these bad boys, obviously wont be able to put them on until after rego.

Nice score! Its worth more than you paid in 4AGE conversion parts alone..

 

Which carbs are those? What throat size?

I'm honestly not even sure of throat size, haven't recieved them yet, i think they're 40mm? Mikuni's off an fj1200 so will need a bit of primary and main jet work.. they have been rebuilt by the same bloke who rebuilds them for aussie racing cars, it has been done before so i know it will work!

 

yeah only conversion part i need to buy now is a pedal box but considering making my own as i did on the drift ute

I'm keen to hear more about these mikunis including who you got to do the work on them for the 4ac.

I have this car and engine and was looking for something a little more fun until if i do an engine swap down the line.

Welllllll that escalated quickly lol, that really got out of hand

 

finally got to a computer to upload some decent pics, this all happened in the period of 8 weeks after work and on weekends working by my self
