New Zealand Datsun Club

Right so heres a couple of updates,

As some of you know we brought a Lifestyle Block in West Eyreton and have been here for a month now, and it has a decent sized garage for toys.







Its going to be alot of work, so in-between doing stuff around the house / unpacking / throwing stuff etc, ive been tinkering on the 120Y.





So far ive sold off all the suspension and just have the CA18de/t fitting kit to sell (any takers).
And ive started stripping it for easy access to fit new suspension etc without damaging too much.

Guards and bonnet off






FJ still in the hole so that had to come out









Mocking up the new front cross member from an a31 Cefiro











It actually fits quite well - not to far away from the mounts in the chassis, will need a bit of cutting still though and i got some standard S15 front struts for $1 of TM just to throw in without springs just to see how it all looks together.

Ive got ceffy front hubs etc like the ones in the pic too.

ohhh good to see progress, love the shed

Woah that place looks awesome man! Massive shed as well!, good to see progress man

Shitty pics - but the master mind has been doing a bit of cutting and welding - xmember in (test fit) and i bolted the arms and hubs up.










Gonna need flares and alot of it when we get some new wider wheels (ie negative offset) lol as my old wheels are 15x7 @ +38 offset.

great to see you making progress brock, this thing will be potent when done.keep up the good work

So i found a Rack - looks like it should all work properly and doesn't fowl on anything yet.

I also managed to find a rear subframe and arms to have a play around with in the rear, not much time to work on this of late due to chicken coop building.

Haha, nice one Brocky!

free range chickens for the win, leaves plenty more time for your datsun

Good stuff man!
