Hi, my name is Garth - I recently bought this tidy 120y as a Father/Son project (my son just got his L's). I found this old thread - http://ozdat.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=17167 and it's definitely the same car, still has all the mods described by that OP. The photo's are gone though, not sure if there is a way to get them back?
Anyway, here's what it looked like when we bought it -

I've built heaps of old cars and regularly contribute to GMH-Torana.com.au and Kombiclub.com forums, and look forward to doing the same here.

Welcome Garth. I'll see if I can find the photos in a backup on the weekend.

Hi,
Thought I might join this forum because I might get stuck into getting my Datsun back on the road.

No one here lol....

To the Phantom crew where ever you are:

I've decided to not continue rego on the 180B as I'm not happy with it in stock form. The engine condition is very iffy due to previous owner's info. I've sourced a rebuilt engine with partly modified components such as, old-school turbo set up. It was never finished & left for decades on an engine stand. I am picking it up this week & will swap back the L18 head as it had an L20 head fitted but that's too low compression for my liking. Ridiculous old-school behaviour.

So, I'll be upgrading suspension & brakes way further than first anticipated for engineering down the track. Pay the $4500 ADR testing in the end. Many don't realise this aspect but, it is wat it is.

Hello to everyone still active on here.
I've just started the process of restoring my Dad's 1968 1600.
Car is remarkably solid given how long it's sat, but will need a fair bit of love to get back on the road.

As it sits:
L20b (in need of a refresh)
Twin Delorto Carbs
Stanza 5 speed gearbox
early model 240k suspension + brakes

Plan is to restore it to it's former glory as much as possible, but brakes and wiring will need an overhaul.

Cheers
