I have my laid up insurance with Shannons. Even after sending them photos etc to show the rust has been repaired the max they would insure me for is $35 k........... I'll look at getting them to re-assess once it's roadworthy.

Interesting - I thought plates remained the property of the RTA in NSW and you couldn't sell them.

I have a few that stick in my mind: - Bringing it home. Deliberately driving slower than the speed limit on the M7 just so I didn't overtake the towtruck it was on, trying to focus on both the road ahead AND at looking at MY car that I had been dreaming of owning since my late teens (Edit: I should clarify here I was in the left lane and not being a douche blocking the overtaking lane!!) - Another tow truck memory (ummm pattern here). Seeing it come home after not seeing it for a few months while a LOT of mechanical work was done - seeing it with new paint, interior and front lip for the first time after all the bodywork and interior work was done - My favourite: A family moment all round - my daughter getting her booster seat and putting it in the passenger seat to sit in while my brother helped me get the engine running again. One of those moments with people you love that help motivate to keep going on the car (my daughter keeps telling my wife that it will be "Daddy and me going for drives and mummy will have to stay home cos there's no seat for her")

Far out !!! I really enjoyed watching your videos when you first put them up talking about your passion for the car. Good luck with the sale and I hope the new buyer is worthy of it !

OK have attached now rather than Photobucket

One crack on one of the corners of the square section that attaches to blower box. Edit: having issues loading images on mobile. Will try again later on laptop

I have a spare but I think it might have a small crack too (easy fixed with plastic weld). Will post a photo tonight.

Pretty sure this car was at Sydney Datsun Day at Prospect. If it's the same car it's a real time capsule. Edit: Different car - it's missing the old man awning on the front and those fender mirrors look like the much maligned ebay ones

That GT went for USD 560k. Would have thought it would go for more, but like all auctions I guess price only goes up if you have 2 parties wanting the same thing

Thanks mate - no rush on mine either (current ones work albeit at a slow pace) so no issues if I finally get it sorted for rego. Mine is a '72. One of the jobs for rego is to fit one of your fan blower kits I bough off your ebay close to a year ago !!!

+1 for King Springs coupled with a decent set of shocks. Unless you want to fit wheels wider than 7 inch then the standard struts are fine.

Hi Craig. Registering interest in the "no mods" option you were looking at trialling. Thanks

There was a great interview with Fred Gibson a few years ago in either Zoom or their sister Imports magazine (can't remember what it was called). Most memorable quote from that was Fred talking about the FIIK switch on the dash. After boost restrictions were put in place there appeared this switch, which owed its name to whenever anyone asked the purpose of the switch the response was "f***** if I know"............ Somehow don't think it would get pas the scrutineers these days ! Did I read somewhere that Peter MC was a part of the Nissan racing team at the time ?

Those look like the brackets that sit behind the fuse box and heater control panel ? Pretty sure that's what my fan switch earthed to.

Looks like I have every duct except the defrost ones. Sorry

I think I might have some spares if I dig through my garage. Will try and take a look.

I think you forgot to put up the pic ? Edit: Saw you put up another thread

Ha ha plus 1 on the heater core. I've had to invent New profanities to describe that job

Looks amazing!

Personally I don't think you've "terribly overpriced" it. There's less of a market for the 2+2 but I've seen similar examples around your price mark

SO MANY !!! That is awesome.

Not seen those rims before. Interesting.
