I was missing some parts so project was on hold for some time but few weeks ago received package from JT68 (datsunrestorationproducts.com) so could continue. Also received new wiring harness from Curtin. I am very pleased quality of that harness so could recommend that to all of you! Very happy that I didnÂ´t even try to do that by myself as that would be nerve-racking and it would never been so good. My harness is made to use modern fuse box and relays. Will post pictures of those later.

So here are few pictures of progress.

I didnÂ´t have heater air devider and forget to order one along with other parts. So I printed one that should work. Also my heater valve was seized so I cheaped out and used generic one. Hose is not that pretty so need to buy correct heater valve at some point.

I used old brake master cylinder. Is there any trick to clean those old plactic parts?

Car is also back on its wheels. For some reason front end is very high even though there is lowering springs. Need to look what is going on there.
Does anyone have idea what could be wrong? It is now higher than it was with original springs.

Doors are put back together and almost all exterior parts are back together. Brakes are fitted and bleeded. Still lot to do but starting to look like a car again. Next need to test electrics and then hopefully could try to start engine.

Nice work. Not sure why the car would be taller now. You may want to post pics of your old springs as well as the front suspension so we can see. Maybe somebody cut the original springs.

What are those Rims? They look very much like Enkei Apache IV's - I have them, but with black anodized bolts.

Thanks all! I will take pictures of original springs. However it didnÂ´t seem that they were cutted.

These are AME wheels. DonÂ´t know much about that brand but read that they are manufactured by Enkei. Also donÂ´t know how old these are. Wheel specs are 15x6.5 offset 15.

The AME (Auto Mobile Engineering) wheel brand is premium JDM wheel brand developed by Kyoho and manufactured by Enkei in Japan. AME is considered to be Japan's premier, major luxury wheel brand and is actively involved within the ultra competitive, enthusiast markets.

My car didnÂ´t have washer bottle when I bought it but it is required in our MOT test so I need to add it. What is correct route for washer hoses? Where do they go through firewall?

JT68 · Post by **JT68** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 8:14 am

The washer vinyl hose goes through/shares one of the big grommets for the engine wiring next to the clutch master.
