Datsun 5-speed transmission swap
Build story
Over this winter 2020/2021 I took the opportunity to RR the engine / transmission and replace with an engine I rebuilt a few years ago as well as swap in my Datsun 5-speed transmission.
The car was leaking and burning about 1L/100km of oil which was rather inconvenient. Cleaned all the tar rustproofing out of the engine bay and repainted everything to clean it up. Made a stainless steel radiator cradle with removable top to facilitate easy removal of the rad if necessary.
Also rebuilt the front suspension for the hell of it, replaced windshield seals and door seals, refoamed seats, changed gas tank and rubber fuel lines.
