Alright, a little late to start a build thread of my car but better late than never :thumbsup: Ill post dates so you can see the time over the progress has been made

Anyway hope you guys like my little rig!

3/4/15

The day I bought my car! Owned by one family since new and had been owned by two of the family members. Had all the service books and history to it, even showing it had been rust-proofed back in 1983 when it was first bought. Car didn't run at the time due to being "overheated on the highway" and the head gasket was suspected buggered, couldn't walk past such a good deal on the neat body so got to pick up my first rolla :laff:

Same day got it home and first thing I had to do was clean up the paint a little, with a cut and polish and some elbow grease it came up quite nicely

Also began having a look over this whole overheating problem with Dad at this point and we didn't have much luck

Spent a lot of time getting the bloody 4k running and it ended up going alright, couldn't remember the work I did on it exactly and didn't get too many photos so can't really post any updates

Did order a black carpet from eBay and some Saas bucket seats through Supercheap to get rid of the standard torn cloth seats and rotting carpet. Also put in a cheap Sparco wheel and boss kit I got from a friend

Ha! Another addict starts down the path to poverty!

 

Nice score! Even an uncracked dash! Look after this one!

Pretty sure I have a head gasket you can have if you want it.

Cheers altezzaclub! Unfortunately is cracked a little though but will be finding an uncracked dash ASAP and getting a dash mat on it to keep it nice :)

Thanks heaps snot35 but as I said these updates are old and I'm going to update it up to where I am at the moment as its running great now! Cheers anyway though

There's a dude on the E Chassis sales FB group who has an dash the right colour. It looks uncracked from the photo, but you'd have to check. Might be worth chasing up. Can give you more details if you're keen.
