The things you have done BLOW my MIND!

Just saying.......

Hi everybody
Just a few small things.

Powdercoating came back .
I fitted a high flow K&N element to the air cleaner .
Made a bracket to hold the coil which now hides under the air cleaner.
Lead brackets blend into the extractors making the leads dissapear very happy with them.
I had to drill the rocker cover thread out to fit the breather. That was daunting. Hope it works as it looks smick very happy with it.

2 hours masking
2 minutes painting
Just the little touches that make all the difference

I havent started the wiring .
I have changed my mind 10 times how im going to do it..
Today was rainy and overcast so cleaned the shed and played with the kids.
I havent been out much at all works busy so thats where my time goes.
Took a friends car to the drags ran a 9.2 then a 8.8 over the quarter back to the drags saturday .
Shes a little datto 1600 running a turbo LS
850rwhp on a mild tune.



Also helped a stranded fc ute fitted a new diff centre for him


Also we dynoed a mates eh i did a bit of work on.
It has a  rb20det which i paid 100 dollars for 7 yrs ago . Absolute lucky dip engine unknown condition rolled out 193rwhp drives fantastic.


So i do keep busy just not on my own toys.

love the datsun 1600 Pete
I bought one new 1970?

pete I had to use a XD falcon motor as vr commodore didn't come through the fire wall enough. It looks in the pictures that you may strike the same problem.

You could also put the mounting plate [or another] on the inside . Haydn

I have modified the original vr arm to fit the fc parts. Should work.

Just need a spot face drill bit so i can get the nut on
Using this arm makes up for the short shaft on the vr wiper motor

That's very similar to what I did Pete I think I used two nuts to gain more distance into the cab and it works fine.
