1968 Datsun 510 Sedan (Project Datto)

[Davy]

also got this, its a biatch to clutch balance with the dash mounted e brake. went a little fancy and got a hydraulic handbrake. you never know when it'll come in handy...

galkissa drift?

Damn, cool!

I'm assuming that the existing hydraulics will have to be tapped onto to get this baby working, right?

Yup. Have to get a servo and a splitter and metal piping. Bit yes.

Looks like this will be my swansong mates. Taking out a loan to buy land/build house. That's it really. One last hurrah!

[DMendis]

Komi, dont use any plastic or leather to cover this. I think it should be visible like this for beauty.

[SpeedyAsA]

this is subaru pearl blue. somehow pulling my heartstrings like no other color...

Are you gonna change the colour Komi? The existing colour also looks well suiting I think

I'm getting addicted to this. This is sira. Andenawa ekenma thani-ehata. I really want to see this when I meet your again.

[MkX]

I'll not be bored at office again.. how long may be 6months, 1 year komi?

[Komisiripala]

I'm guessing six months. Was gonna tie a bit ribbon around it and have it dropped at castle street hospital for wife's b'day. No chance. Going this weekend to pick up the interior and hand it to deen's. the strut bar, steering, lights and another quarter panel badge will be shipped out of Japan tomorrow. Dual carbs left Australia today

machan how you get them shipped here? Any special courier?

the japanese stuff i get from a third party handler: fromjapan.co.jp. they offer an excellent service. they bid on your behalf on yahoo japan, rakuten, and other japanese auction sites, buy the item, get it shipped over to their warehouses, and bundle multiple packages (they will hold it for 30 days til other stuff arrive) and send it via air courier, freight or sea freight. reasonable prices. they also let you either mark the item as a gift, or value it for customs as you wish (you can value it at 2 yen per item even, but then insurance will cover only that) the package i last shipped, with the strut, steering, lights and badge was 11,000Y by air freight (EMS), 8,000 by japanese air mail (SAL) and 4000 by sea freight. DHL was 40,000 yen. EMS and DHL are insured and trackable. package was 10.5kg

the twin carbs, a friedn of mine picked up from the warehouse in adelaide (which, luckily for me, was 10 minutes from his house) he sent it by sea freight via trico. bugger was nice enough to foot the bill. so dunno how much it would have cost

The interior went to deens today. Getting the front seats completely redone in black with perforated rexin inlays and gold double herringbone stitch. Rear seats as well. And the door trim.

And I'd like to thank VVTi for his support in transporting all that junk. I owe you one, Bro.
