You gonna have other Datsuns there on your big day?
1600 is looking awesome as always! 8-)
Thanks Brendan.

Probably won't have any other Datsuns there as it is just going to be a fairly small family affair and their are no other Datsuns in the family.

How's life in the shaky CHCH?
No issues, much better than HB anyday I reckon.
You would be very disappointed with the conditions that my 1600 lives in..... parts storage shed. No different than the last 5years anyway haha.
Have invested in a better motor option so am looking forward to fitting that when its possible.

Just a wee update on what I have gotten done over the past few days;

This is how I put the engine and box in by lowering the chassis over the engine & box while I have the engine & box set up on a frame with castors so that I can move it around.

I have also started to put the front suspension & steering back into it;

It certainly is gents. I have had it for a while now but have added Cusco camber plates to the top of the struts for that little bit extra.

It's great to finally have it all coming back together! :thumbsup:
