Not been around for a while....

[Tonka]

Used to be  a fairly frequent flyer in these parts then lots happened on the work front, then got made redundant and found myself out of work for a month during which time I bought this.....hope to make a start on its rebuild over the winter.

 

 

The Gen 3 Civic we bought in 2012 turned out to be mainly made out of tack welded and sikaflexed panels underneath but after a lot of graft it has a whole new image.....might not be to everyone's taste but at least its got a second chance at survival now.

Whoa, a 120Y Datsun, phwoar!

[Supernaut]

I love the colour of that Datsun!

[worldofceri]

Keep us posted on the Dat, son.

[trigger]

That Datsun is lush! Welcome back!

[Tonka]

Thanks Trigger, still got too many cars/projects here, nothing changes.......  

[Tonka]

 

I owned this for just over a year while I was working on the Civic, it had just 25K on when I bought it.  

[RoadworkUK]

The Datsun is indeed, lush, but I'd like to be first to extend admiration in the direction of the Civic. Looks spot on.

[philibusmo]

I seriously like everything in this thread so far. More please

[fordperv]

lovely cars that datsun is a beautiful colour and I like the civics colour scheme please tell me it's got the engine to back it up

[Tonka]

Sadly the Gen 3 is still the same 40K from new 1300 semi-auto......but when its stood still.....lol

[Tonka]

Cant decide whether to do this before the Datsun......

nice collection of japs fella

If anyone doesn't like the Civic, they're welcome to step outside and punch themselves square in the knackers. As for the Datsun, it's just pure and utter porn.

[chaseracer]

This thread is full of JDM WIN.  Good to have you back, yellow chunky toy man.

[Station]

You have amazing cars - that 120Y though!

[Timewaster]

When I was a kid, the local car shop used to sell off old obscure unsellable colour spray paints cheap.

 

To that end I had a Raleigh Grifter re sprayed the same colour as your Datsun.

 

80s tastic!

[Uncle Jimmy]

Dat 120Y is a peach, the chrome looks unusually good, you must have paid 4 figures for it?

A Mk1 Micra really is a well proportioned, nice little motor by today's standards.

My dad inherited his late fathers 120y in the 1970s. I hated it as a four year old - as it was dark blue with black vinyl seats. My legs ( in shorts) stuck to the seats in the summer!

[wuvvum]

Superb!  Don't think I've ever seen a Mk1 Frinkahedron before.

[Spottedlaurel]

A lot to like, good to see you here again.

[Matt]

Superb!  Don't think I've ever seen a Mk1 Frinkahedron before.

 

Neither have I but I already want one.

Well said Billy!

[Pillock]

Those wheeltrims. Amazing.

[mercrocker]

I passed my test in 1977 in a P reg Sunny that colour.   Takes me right back!   I don't think I ever came across a sweeter clutch action since....

[xtriple]

One of my exs first cars was a 120Y in that blue. I have never known a car that could understeer so much yet be so amusing at the same time. I loved it - she hated it! Sold when the clutch started to slip after my 'enthusiastic' driving style
