Yeh i know but the block has be decked so the pistons sit proud. The head has been faced also.
Got some pictures of some the spots that need to be fixed. not very good quality but they were sent via e-mail. Unfortunately no pictures of the front guards as he forgot to take them :unsure: Where where you can see the bog, that was all over the sanded back part, but those quarters will be getting cut out and replaced with the new ones as you can see. And the whole back under section near the spare tyre well was all rusted out which he has fixed.
Progress?
Sorry i haven't updated for a while. There has been plenty of progress on the car, but also plenty of things happening in the family so the car has been sort of put on hold unfortunately.
Some time ago I sanded the car and all parts have been etch primed, bondo'd, undercoated and top coated by the restoration guy up in the hills where the car is. He should be doing the black part of the panda scheme next week. I have recently got my rebuilt T-50 back from the gearbox shop. I have acquired all new genuine exterior trim and weather strips from Japan.
I should have some pictures shortly but here is a small one of the panels in white.
Seeing the photos of your motor has given me inspiration to get my rebuild underway. Should be great when finished, did you rebuild the bottom end yourself?
Yes i did everything my self apart from the machining.
WoW Monster rebuild! :woot:
Still, I was driving my P510 Datsun today just to see that it still goes, and THAT was last registered in 2001!! New carpet went in last week and the first new door seal went on today... Its just another distraction from the KE....
So, a year or two being rebuilt is nothing compared to owning an immaculate piece of history for the next 20years!
what pistons are you running and is yours bored out?
I had Ace Ventura delivering my Pistons and there proper fucked and need some good NA ones
The motor is standard just new rings and bearings, oil pump, TODA Head Gasket, 5Zigen Extractors etc and i have up'ed the compression ratio. I'm doing this to start with because i am running carbs and i just want to see how they run on a stock engine before i get too carried away
so standard toyota pistons?
