Very nice Datsun 1200 ute. Speedo, instrument cluster, electrical and lighting repairs, fitted and wired up horns.
After seriously overheating, new fully reconditioned cylinder head (old one cracked) installed with new valves and valve seats for unleaded fuel, recored radiator, new water pump, hoses etc. And old style engine tune up and tappet adjustment.
Full front and rear suspension overhaul, all new bushes, ball joints, shockers etc, lowering the car 2 inches, remove and refitting engine after rebuilding and installing air conditioning.
We have fully overhaul the brakes, rebuilt the gear box and 4wd transfer case, overhauled both driveshafts and slotted in a 200dti turbo diesel to replace the original engine. Fitting the turbo diesel required extensive modifications to cooling system, intercooler, pipe work, oil cooler, throttle and fuel system, wiring, battery relocation, as well as engine mounts. We also fitted a custom imported exhaust system to suit this modification and restored the dash instruments, fitted new gauges, switches and tidied up the wiring and finishing with a new steering wheel. A lot of work but we are really pleased with the end results.
Beautiful FC Holden with with original paint patina, updated with fuel injected VL Commodore engine. We upgraded all the brake hydraulics, master cylinder, front brake caliphers and rear wheel cylinders to address excessive moisture in the brake fluid. Also attended to rear spring rubbers.
One of the best examples of a HR, very original and beautifully restored, has been In the same family for several generations, in for service and tune.
Mint HZ Holden in for some electrical work
Bit of cooling system work required for this old girl
