I have finally created some online photo albums of my current projects.

For those who are interested in the Datsun Fairlady rebuild see:-

I believe as a viewer you are required to "sign in" but there is no charge for this.

Spring has finally sprung in good ol' Adelaide, so I will now be concentrating on the Z project.

It HAS to be finished before Easter 2003 so I can cruise to Toowoomba Queensland for the Datsun Nationals.

best of luck for your easter deadline, remember things take twice as long to do and cost twice as much so don't slack off

Graham,

I just finished flipping throught your pictures. I thought the colour of the roadster was nice... and then I saw that the interior of one of the doorsand it was red. Was red the original colour of the car.. or was it the green? Depending on your plans for the restoration (ie, putting it back to original cond. vs customised ), I hope it was green! I like that colour.

Also, you seem to be running drastically short on garage space! What is the red Z in the background? Is it a 240 or 260 (or a 2+2?).. can't tell from the pics.

Have fun with those cars!

whoops, sorry for miss-spelling your name, Graeme

Halz, that "green" just peeled off after exposure to a days hot sun! I have been able to strip the entire body shell with just a hot day, a safety razor scraper and much patience.

I think it was a very pathetic attempt to give a Datsun a dose of British Racing Green.:sick:

Now we all know that a Datsun with an English colour is a recipe for disaster!

The original colour of the SP310 was Cherry Red and it will be redone this colour.

The bright orange Z you see in the garage, is my sons 1973 HS30.

I have nearly finished re-building the original engine to instal in him. Ultimately Ben is going to build/have built an L series 3.1L stroker Twin Turbo for power.

In the background, adjacent the Fairlady, is my 1973 HS30 on the rotisserie.

This is the one I want finished for Easter 2003!

Out of sight and used as my daily transport is my 1971 P510 4 door that I've had since new.

A friend of ours added up all the Nissan/Datsun vehicles that we and he have, and it came to 19! :classic:

Ah well, it beats working for a living!

Quite a stable you have there! ( some people seem to have all the cars while the rest of us are left to scour the papers and build our networks - I'm becoming convinced that the Z I buy will be a word of mouth job and not one that is advertised to the public...) Does your son's car still have its original engine? If so and he ever changes his mind and wants to sell, let me know :classic:

Halz, the engine I'm rebuilding for Ben is the original number matching L24 that was fitted to the beast.

It will be as stock as a rock with twin SUs and auto trans!

This will be the historical engine for the appropriate times.:devious:
