Expressions Of Interest/questions In Curiosity - 200b Fj20n/a Set Up

[dazman]

hey guys.

just looking for any expressions of interest.

and/or your thoughts on what the below might be a reasonable sale price.

i have my very first car which has seen literal blood sweet and tears.

have had this for many many years and couldn't bring myself to get rid of her. but....... it is time..

grand plans of restoring her. but don't have time, space, coin or space.. not to mention i am lazy... lol.

1980 datsun 200b.

what is in it.

• fj20 na
• 5spd box
• front end brake conversion. V8 commodore calipers and magna rotors.
• S3 bluebird disc rear end.
• surge tank
• fuel pumps low and high pressure
• microtech M/LTX 8 - direct fire ignition.
• pulsar radiator
• 2.1/4 exhaust that will definitely need replacing.

currently hasn't been started for years. needs a new fuel line to the surge tank as it perished and split.

was running fine when pulled off the road. had purchased a R33 and she was no longer needed.

kept it rego'd within the ACT 12mths rules. but let it slip. car has never been engineered with this engine. so would be good for a project. or to transplant out.

before it was taken off the road. it had a top end rebuild done.

had a look at it a few weeks back to try and get it to start. couldn't get a socket onto the crank to try and move it. however. was able to turn the crank by hand. so isn't seized.

will probably look into getting it to kick over in a few weeks.

but if people could let me know if that is even worth my while or anyone now days would be interested in something like this. that'd be great.

cheers guys.

Honestly I'd say bugger all maybe $1000. You'll probably see a better return parting it out (and that's probably what any buyer would do anyway).

I sent you a PM

thanks for the advice on that mate..

i have no illusions about this getting restored. but i need to move the whole thing in one hit. rather than parting it out.

the joys of lack of space..
