a couple of extra wheels.....

Well there's been a lot of mention of motor vehicles lately, and I finally cleaned mine so I thought I'd post up some pics.
My mighty Dat:

I don't reckon it's too bad for $250.

For those that were wondering it's got a balanced and blueprinted A14 under the bonnet, with a twin barrel webber (off an escort I think) with tuned length headers and a 2.5" exhaust. Not a monster but it runs nicely.
The driving lights (inside pair) are actually landing lights designed for a cessna. Inside it's pretty stock, save for a nice little old sports wheel and the stereo; just a cheap Kenwood cd player with some 6" 2 ways in the front and a pair of 6x9 3 ways in the back, only cost me $340 and it sounds fine, don't need any of that doof doof sub crap. I pulled the back seat out too, that way it swallows the bike nice and easy and I'm never playing taxi.

So, what about everyone else?

Oh, and if the non-bike pics are a problem, lemme know and I'll ditch them.

thats what the non-bike pics section is for :)

very nice car.... Although I never had the pleasure of owning an older dat like that... my datsun bluebird does me proud...

that thing looks like its in awesome condition. i know of a few people who'd eye that off if it was for sale..

Cheers guys, it's amazing what a good wash can do, it was like a whole different colour under all the dust! See we're on tank water and the lack of rain is a big issue, so I have to go to a friend's place to wash it; and then she ropes me into helping her paint her house!
This is my second car, the first one was a 120Y coupe which had a little accident.....it donated the engine, wheels, front struts with better dampers and a few other bits and pieces to this one. It's still a work in progress though, I've gotta carpet the now very large boot to try and dampen the damn exhaust, it's not exactly subtle. I probably should get my left hand blinker working too....
Just got the tint done though and man does it make a difference! Lets hear it for backyard tint jobs :)

You don't even need a turbo anymore. This is the most wankiest dumbass thing I've ever seen www.sunamiturbo.com

Hmmm, I've got a CB with PA output and a loudspeaker sitting in my cupboard. It used to be in the old coupe but I never put it in the wagon. I should though, that way I can drive down the street and make the blow off noises myself when I change gears!

thats a trick ride, treat it nice :P

[n2o spark]

datsuns are ok but i'm not a big fan of them. but for 250 thats cool. in auto (school) i'm the only one left in the class working on a 1600. redoing the body and all. damn hard job.

Nah, it was a private sale, but it wasn't in that condition when I bought it. I had a mate who's a panel beater spray it first, and he charged absolutely bugger all, and then the coupe donated most of it's parts to jazz it up a bit.
As for bikes, well I've only had two in at once, my hardtail and a ladies bike and it swalloed them without having to take wheels off or anything. That's with the backseat down though, so there was only room for me and the lady. I spose if you were taking off wheels you could probably fit four, but not four people; if I have to do that I borrow the crumpledoor.
