Awesome machine ! Has changed a lot since these pics too... Sheepers... Thank you very much for the compliment.. Have read been following your threads over last few years. Stunning machines ., my cars a bit on the done cheap/ bodged/ slapped together side. The quality if your builds is outstanding . too work matey

Kolbot... That's how I feel whenever I think about selling... I know I'd miss it so much ! Enjoyed reading the whole thread, how cool is your house with the big garage underneath! The new wheels look great, are they 13's? Cheer matey ... I did get lucky buying this place... But I tripled what my mortgage was on my last place all because I'd bought a £300 car and wanted somewhere to work on it... Maybe not the best choice... If I'd stayed put I'd be mortgage free by now ! .. But no room for toys! The wheels are 14x7, 205/60. On the back. 185/60 on the front

I decided that rather than buy more tyres.. Which would have been a quick and simple way to get the mot. That I'd pull my finger out and do something that was in the cards before I bought the car I bought some 100 to114.3 adapters That way u could fit the celicas old wheels and tyres. This also meant they poked out nicely But also means too much lows Had to raise the coilovers about 2 inches. Just to clear the arch Felt dirty raising the car.. But WS for the greater good... It also meant I could get in and out of the garage without blocks of Wood Only temporary tho The car has had a repair to this arch in the past... Not very well tho... Well better than I could have done but was a completely different shape to the others ! I noticed this when I got the car , but wasn't too worried as I knew that one day they were being chopped No going back Cut out the outer skin Welded it back up Chopped the inner skin folded I've and welded it up then. Some zinc spray primer i had. And seam sealer to hopefully. Keep it weather proof Arches screwed on I have bought a rivnut doodah and a bunch of fittings... So that's next step . arches are all coning off to paint the car so will redrill them rhen Fronts are easy.. No welding I'll try get the other side done next weekend... The lower it back down where it belongs

Well... Not updated this in a year or so. Was only selling because I really really wanted this i96.photobucket.com/albums/l169/beetlecharles/Datsun%201200/IMG_20130630_151631.jpg But it sold straight away , did re appear on eBay this year... But still no funds. Anyway , this meant I kept the Mazda . It's been a bit neglected this last year or so. I've been playing with other stuff . but this week I've dug her back out Lots of fun doing that... It was behind the celica.. Both with flat battery's Charged up.. Jump leads from lucifa... Finally got them started. Out side and the cekica refuses to start again... Like it knows its going in the naughty corner at the back. So jumpleads again... No joy.. Much shuffling later.. With Lucifer.. Yaaay . finally started... Put the celica away.. Then the Mazda decided not to start... Repeat jumpleads Finally So looks like 2 new battery's needed .. Ar$e Had put it in for its mot last year. Failed on a couple of bits of welding 2 tyres and a headlight being way out.... Not so bad The rot was at the end of both sills/ inner arch Excuse My weldings not the tidiest but does the job.. And slowly getting slightly better. Both sides were roughly the same That's that bit sorted... Next was tyres Then just headlight. Then retest ... Well. Re mot

No real updates that I can think off ! Mot came and went...few probs with it being too low and resting on the bumpstops at the back... Took bumpstops out but the car was too low.. Bodykit was on the floor .. So took the bodykit off .. Just scraped through Been camping a few times Spent countless hours veging at the beach... Love it when its proper rough n peeing it down... Sat in back of van with a brew playing g on laptop nice n snug Planning on raising the rear slightly just to save the FAFF next not. But also cos the side skirts are getting mashed !... Also I can't get to my mums because of the speed bumps.. I have to park in the next street and walk. But I still love this van /car thing. Such a handy thing to have

Might of lowered mine a bit too much and added NATO green.... Other colours are available!

Ok, I have hung back on this because I have had a lot on, but I will shortly be able to offer a solution to this problem... I am in Manchester, and I have a small secure yard where I store some of my collection of old tat/precious retro cars (Please delete as appropriate).... I also have access to a trailer and towcar... It will take me a few days to organise the yard so as to create space , but if MightyMork can wait until sometime next week I will collect the car and store it under a cover until Kev re-surfaces... I'm prepared to do this because Kev, more than just about anyone on here, epitomises everything the RetroRides community stands for, and has previously devoted huge amounts of time and effort to helping others.... MightyMork, let me know if this is of help to you..... If this was bookface... I'd be clicking like right about now

I'm not too far from him... I'll see if I can get hold of him. He has kinda disappeared... Even from book face. Kev's a decent bloke and probably a reason for this ( I know it doesnt help ya tho).
