Renewed Roadster life
Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2008 2:20 am
G'day guys,
My name's Steve, I've had my 1968 2000 for about 7 years, and I used to be on the old Autox mailing list years ago. I think I was on this forum, briefly, a few years back, as well.
Anyway, I'm in Melbourne, Victoria (Australia), a member of the Datsun Sports Roadster Club (VIC) and have just completed a complete rebuild of the gearbox and engine. Or rather, I've looked over the shoulder of Lou Mondello, local roadster guru, as *he* did it, and handed him spanners, and spent most of my days off this year cleaning parts. We're just about finished running her in, and I can tell you, this car is just awesome! Where's the best part of these forums to let you guys in on what went on with it? It was a pretty different rebuild, with some big unforseen problems that ended up with clever solutions. Hi to anyone here that I've corresponded with before.
Cheers,
Steve
