Turns out i was a little ambitious in thinking i could dip into the 'joint' bank account and spend all 'my' hard earned on a 1600 with nicely finished engine conversion. But after showing whos boss
(my knees still hurt from grovelling) i have a car...with no motor!
I intend to stick an L20 motor in for what will probably be a 12 month period at least...so the following questions are posed?
Q1) Does anyone have a spare l20 in rebuildable condition, or a runner that they are looking to offload? (if so, please pm me)
Q2) I have been quoted $1400 for standard long motor rebuild to stock specs. Does this sound fair?
Q3)Is there anyone with contacts they would recommend for a rebuild that has a love of althings datsun?
Any advice greatly appreciated, especially on 'How to get your wife interested in cars?'
