These are the details of the advert from the Carsales advert. A lot of hard work has gone into the Datsun by the previous owner. These works and some of the pictures from the advert are below:
This car is a 5 SPEED MANUAL and the KMS is unknown AS THE ODOMETER ONLY HAS 5 DIGITS.
Here I will list the restoration that I have undertaken since owning this vehicle: – Replaced all suspension bushes with Nolathane brand polyurethane bushes. – Replaced front suspension: Springs and dampers. Pedders standard height springs. Fitted Maddat brand adjustable strut tops and adjustable lower control arms. – New ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm and idler arm. – Installed a Maddat brand steering box brace. – Replaced dampers and leaf springs on the rear. – Replaced front brake discs with dba slotted rotors. Rebuilt the calliper assemblies. – Replaced the rear brake drums. – Upgraded all brake lines to braided stainless and installed a new brake master cylinder. – All under body components that were removed during the restoration have been cleaned and sprayed black. The entire underside floor pan has been sprayed with body deadener. – Installed a completely rebuilt L18 out of a 180B SSS.
During the rebuild all non alloy components were acid bathed and all alloy components were steam bathed. To clear out scale from the waterways and make sure everything was clean and fresh for the rebuild. – Ported and polished head with a mild cam and oversized valves. – standard 180B SSS twin side draught Hitachi (SU type) carburettors rebuilt and tuned with K&N high flow filter, held on with an aluminium sandwich plate: open to the air. – Pacemaker brand extractors and a brand new 2 inch exhaust with a simple, period correct chrome tip. – Replaced the points ignition distributor with a rebuilt and remapped electronic ignition distributor.
