Keep the thread updated and detailed Adam as it makes my resto easier!

wow Adam, you have had the car for a few weeks and have done more than me in 11 months

Christmas is coming so I'll have to down the credit card lest invoke the wrath of the minister for war and finance (the wife).

May also have a career change in the wings so may have an extended break. But I'm hoping to get some work done to the car soon, instead of buying all the bits.

I keep forgetting you guys have been at this for years I shouldn't be playing catchup ..... Or maybe I can

may also have a career change in the wings so may have an extended break.

pso?

Tmu?

Full time CFA

Update time...

My key blanks arrived from Thailand

But the top of my ignition barrel is stuffed...so I may have to order a new one.

But i've managed to secure some parts which my coupe was missing. But also more extra goodies. GTR C110's are exclusively are 1973 model cars. But mine is a 1975 which has later model round vents and a different centre console compared to the 1973. So sourcing these parts through YAJ was going to be an expensive prospect...

...until i was contacted by a friend who had decided to part out his 1973 coupe as it had been in a fairly serious accident. These are what i managed to secure for my coupe.

The missing Stainless Steel trim piece across the top of the windscreen. Now i have all the SS Trim for the car.

In here is a Drivers Door glass, only need a front windscreen now

The early square drivers side vent. A little piece is broken out of it but i'll still use it until i can afford another.

The early style glovebox with square vent

And an early Centre Console...complete with Factory Radio and Cassette player !!!!!!

I've been polishing the indicators lenses and they look like they'll work ok. I'll hit them with some clear to keep them from getting worse. I'm still waiting on the gaskets to come from Japan for those too. I'll need to cut the plugs as they've disintergrated and put new ones on. Narva make some so that's sorted. Just have to send the housings away for plating...

...so some progress is happening, although that will slow for christmas.

Good times.

Is that an 8 track player or a cassette player?

Adam,

If you looking for a set of lenses and don't mind repros, you might want to try David at Street lens in Minto, south sydney. His workshop is a bit chaotic the last time I was their, but he makes all kinds of lenses and might just have a mould for the C110 somewhere? He does answer e-mail just takes a couple of days.

Streetlens - clear lenses for your street car

Just a thought.

Bought a spare dashboard..

It's special. Those of you in the US would like this one

It's an rare early dash. It has MPH on the inner ring of the speedo

Thats indeed a rare find. There wasn't many of them around to start with. Does the face from the later units fit?

All interchangeable I'm led to believe

Thanks for the support :wink:

I was at work the during the week and checked Facebook and saw an ad from a mate selling some 240K seats...... Now mine are...a little unhealthy

So I snapped them up. Only about 1000% better! There is some stitching that needs doing but overall they're great, especially compared to what I had!

My son gave them the tick of approval after a brief clean

Also scored another drivers side guard, as mine was pretty much flat

And some finned drum brakes

Overall pretty happy, and very unexpected to find those seats. I was not looking forward to paying huge chunks of cash to get them fixed. So a great result

Also Merry Christmas everyone from sunny Australia
