But a project is never done 😉

I just realized I never posted pics of the car all back together and back on the road. So here come a massive pic dump.
I finished the complete project in just over 12 months and got the car back on the road and registered in October 2021, just before hibernation. Since then I managed to drive 1000miles with no real issues.

Project Tosbo: almost there

Even though the progress was slower during summer and holiday season, I’m super happy to report that I’ve driven the first 5km to test everything. The carbs need a bit of tweaking, the brakes need a proper bleeding and some other minor stuff. But I’m super happy of where it’s at. Exactly 1 year and 23 days after I started disassembling the car. 1 year and 23 days to do a complete nut&bolt resto myself (except body work). Every part, nut and bolt on this car was either cleaned, painted, coated, renewed, changed, modified,…
So here are a few pics of the last months in chronological order:


Custom heatshield for the Fujitsubo header. New gaskets everywhere,…
Didn’t go with the usual blue engine paint, as it doesn’t go very well with the safari gold
Lonely driver spark plug wire separators and Datsun Spirit MSD spark plug wires
Long block ready to be put back in

Interior completed. Datsun competition steering wheel, Tomei shift knob for the KA14 gearbox, Speedhut tach, Cobra RSR seats
The underbelly in all it’s glory! I could look at this all day long
