Hi Guys
Well its be a long time but finally got back into having a working dado.
Some time ago a 120y coup came up for sale, single owner, very low mileage, all original and neat as a pin, some minor works required to body but nothing major. Next to no rust, next to, all dados came with inbuilt rust, bit like alfas.
Its travelled 41K, manual, goes very hard for 1.2, it topped out at 160 KPH at 6.7k rpm accordion to my GPS, yeah i know unheard of, however i am very surprised, not sure if its because the motor is so tight but the dam thing goes.
Interior is almost brand new, although cracked dash pad which will be repaired shortly.
Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and keep an eye out (hobart) the brand spanking patrol has been relegated to sitting in the driveway and this has become my daily, until the works begin.
Plans for it, simple, a few power tune ups, exhaust, intake carbies and cam. Suspension and brakes to be done, nothing mad a bit lower and better stopping power, wheels to be changed to something that has more width then height. Tint the windows and install a radio that is not AM.
I am looking for any 120Y parts anyone has lying around so PM me if you have anything, particularly any mags or wheels you might want to part with.
Thanks
