Datsun 180b saloon 810 YPK (Read 6,733 times)

[Ricky180B]

Been very busy this weekend. Was scrubbing and scrubbing many years of dirt. She's now booked for mot on Friday. Everything's is done apart from the front coilovers and a chrome piece on the passenger side roof































I've set the height on the rears to a comfortable level awaiting the wheels





I think this thread will soon be coming to an end. Thank GOD you all say. Lol

[Al Ramone]

are they new number plates? if so where'd you get em made and what's the price and quality like?

[Ricky180B]

The front ones new. The rear was something I wanted to keep from the original car. I've used this guy a few times with the other 810's. this cost me 36.00 delivered

[Ricky180B]

First shower on new paint.

[Ricky180B]

Now ready for mot on Friday



Robbed the wheels from the wagon, sorry but needs must

[Al Ramone]

aww, wagon looks sad

you going to lower YPK?

[Ricky180B]

It's shocking what wheels can do. So I've hired the back for it to sit level. Mot and exhaust on Friday and then the front coil overs Saturday morning. Then lowered. Once she's lowered I can then get an idea of wheel sizes and tyres. Hoping to give her a good old drive over the weekend. Can't wait

[Al Ramone]

yeh if you're changing the front struts you wanna get them on before you know what wheels you can fit.

[Ricky180B]

To the mot centre.



And passed



Mot'd I can't believe it

Next stop exhaust stop












To this









And the sound is perfect so this is a 2 and a quarter straight through.

[Al Ramone]

very, very nice. just a single silencer then? turbos themselves do a very good job of quieting out the exhaust noise

shes a beauty rick, nice work love the color

[Ricky180B]

Thanks Mate,

Ive not done anything else but just enjoying her daily especially with the weather. She attracts alot of attention which is very embarassing. Im loving the modern engine. Ive already done 1,600 miles. Ive slightly lowered her a bit more but once the front coil overs are on i can go alot lower. But yea all the hard work paid of. Make any excuse to drive her. Planning a trip to isle of man soon so that will be good followed by a trip to lake district.

[Ricky180B]
