Gonna have to get the mods to change your handle to Beatie-1000-

Hmm time for a update i think.

Been about 2 months off the road. All welding is done and all rust is cut out! Car is completely stripped down and there is a very fresh A15 waiting for it in the shed! That will be going in this weekend!

IT LIVES, THE A15 LIVES!!!

It runs pretty good too. revs nicely and idles ok considering its not properly tuned up yet. just using the A12 carb for the moment. 32/36 is on the way, just for a bit more fun before the quads

You'll all see the vid on my phone tomorro night im sure.

Nah i dont have my manifold made up yet. The guy i was gonna get to make it came over and sussed everthing out. he recons it should be nice and easy. Should cost about $200 all up including matirals and laser cut 'base plate'. If you can beat that price Aaron you can make it for me... or anybody else

Just a little update.

I have just put a 1000 coupe dash in the wags. Much better then the original square box unit! Donno if i have everything linked up right yet, it should be, havnt had a chance to start it and im off to Sydney for a week. All that was only $50! thats metal part of dash, crash pad, guages and engine bay/under dash wiring loom.

And ive adapted a Hyundai Excel X3 radiator to fit, should keep the 'big block' cool!

Just sanding and bogging, then primer and finnaly paint. Metalic red with possibly a gold pearl. Then once its back on the road ill start working on the susp, renewing everything and lowering while im at it(i want it really really low!)

Anyway, time for pics!

you can get new crash pads made up for about $200.

the guy advertises in Perth Street Car sometimes and i think he's on google.

I already have that part sorted, my boss's uncle owns a trim shop in armadale and apparently he'll get me to do all the hard work so it should be nice and cheap!

Aaron you see the thread on datsun1200.com with the CAD drawings of A series manifold plates? Every1 is doing a group buy if you want anymore.

well she's all primed! Well mostly! Now lots of sanding out inperfections... great! Some bits came out better then expected, buy some came up worse. Always the way tho!
