1969 2300 Super Six Project

[L26VW]

Hey, Thought id share my newest project

not a Z car (hope its OK) but a 1969 2300/Cedric Super Six, bought it sight unseen (only one phone photo!) a few months back and have finally picked it up

turned out it was way better than i had expected with only a few patches of rust for me to deal with, virtually none for a early Datto anyway haha

had been parked up since '94 in a shed, yes thats genuine barn find dust or rather grape shed dust. The original L23 is apparently a bit on the tired side so planing on getting it running and driving then a bit of an upgrade to make it into a nice cruiser and tuck both the L23s aside in the shed for safe keeping. Going to slowly get things tidied up, seats re-foamed and repaired, bumpers re-chromed etc and collect some parts for the new engine. thinking along the lines of an EFI L motor and 5 speed 

also has anyone ever seen an alloy L6 sump with a finned base and the wing bits out the side for more capacity? in the last photo, i now have two of them haha
