datsunfreak Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Muffler test fit... This is the exact exit location I wanted, and it looks like it will work very well here. :thumbup: So, as it turns out, I can't find my keys for this car ANYWHERE... :sleep: So I ordered up some Solex locks for it. B) Stock lock hole... Needs one side widened for the Solex lock cylinder... Locks in! The one for the trunk worked a treat as well, just had to tweak the arm to line up with the stock actuator... ^_^ Whipped up a trans crossmember and Tim kindly welded it together for me... :thumbup: Didn't get any photos of the finished product, but I will next time. :thumbup: Installed the extra wide B210 radiator and some new hoses... The previous owner cut some of the core support away on the right side for an oil cooler. I'll have to make a panel to cover that so all the air actually goes through the radiator like it should... :thumbup: If you look closely, you can see I had to make a bracket to go across the gap so the radiator was firmly mounted on all four corners. Now it's in there and it's very secure. :thumbup: I like the look of the stock heater box, but since I had no plans to run a heater... :rofl: I took the heater box apart and completely gutted it. Went from 12 pounds down to about 2 pounds. B) Gonna keep all the flapper doors in it so I can still use it as a fresh air device on warmer days. :thumbup: 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Had a few minutes this morning so I bolted on the header and carbs for what I hope is the last time. :thumbup: I had been waiting on these to show up, and since they did on Friday, I went ahead and bolted it all up... 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Took the trans crossmember off and modified it slightly for better exhaust clearance. Pipe tucks up a lot closer now... Finally got my column seal/surround installed. That was an asswhip... Cut the carpet to fit around the column... Got the brake master installed, new hard lines from the master to the distribution block, vacuum advance hose fitted, little cone filter fitted to the valve cover, and a few other things I'm probably forgetting... ^_^ 1 Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Looking sweet man. I just noticed your hard lines though. Are they wrapped? Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Previous owner painted the hard lines while painting the engine bay. Then he decided they looked goody in white (duh) so he wrapped them in hard plastic wrap normally used for wrapping a wiring harness. It's taking all my self control not to take them out and make new ones... :rofl: The new hard lines I installed on the master came black coated already. :thumbup: Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 The black looks good from the pics. I couldn't do the plastic covered lines though. With a bay that clean, it'd have to be redone :P Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, we'll just wait and see if they last or not... :rofl: Link to comment

Duncan Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Tim kindly welded it together for me... :thumbup: Your friend Tim needs to wear some gloves. I've learned and re-learned that the hard way a few times... The 1200 is looking badass, though :thumbup: Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Your friend Tim needs to wear some gloves. I've learned and re-learned that the hard way a few times... If it is the "burning yourself with the part" issue... meh, fingerprints are overrated. If it is the "you're going to get skin cancer from the ultraviolet light" issue... feh, something's going to kill me someday. 2 Link to comment
