Ok....

So I didn't get the Air con compressor removed today. There's 2 cap screws that are impossible to get wrench in to cause of the chassis / brackets etc.
I'm guessing Mercedes never expected people to remove their A/C compressors?!

Anyway, I did get a brake pad change and oil change done.

Also changed the Drag Link. (when I got my wheel alignment with my new[old] yoko's put on, I was told that it was about 5 drifts away from disaster )

Will be installing my new steering wheel tomorrow and post that too.
Also removing all door trim and exterior trim tomorrow night.

Drag link before:


Drag Link after:


My beasty exhaust


Brake pads, before AND after:


A set of Styria's re-built front calipers (these have been on for about 2 Months now and are GREAT!)


The death of my last dato (only got taken last saturday - I now have NO dato's.. )


The outcome






The Fleet

10 points for the signwriting

...and I do like that yellow colour quite a lot.

Sums the Datto 120Ys up perfectly:

Looks like were all ready for Winton young Cam! Jeez that thing even looks like a race car now. Got my cameras handy, bring on April!

Glad you changed the drag link, wouldn't want that to go on a high-speed corner (which is where you can guarantee it would have let go...)

Needed: more pictures of the stripped out interior the Pleather of death!

I.

Won't it go faster if you take off some of the stickers?
Good luck Cam.
That new draglink looks nice.

HAhahah.... The summary of datsun - in 1 word..

P-leather of death wheel is going in tonight (hopefully) i've just snapped 2 allen keys on trying to get the old boss off the wooden wheel. Looks like it'll match up sweet - just the bolts are either turning to powder or snapping allen keys..

Glad you all like the de-cals. They were pricey but look pimpin. Still got to put the one's on the passenger side but doing that tonight.

Spot on with the drag link mav's, murphy's law says that it would be @ 160km's breaking / turning into the corner at end of the straight. And there would be tears..


Have a guess how much the stickers were for door x 4 de-cals and front and rear window...

So........ the stickers were bout $400. Quality vinyl. That was mates rates as well.

Smaller, non vynil stickers won't be as pricey. If anyone else wants prices let me know.
