    loll ! That IS quite a fleet!

    Wow, it's been 8 years already? Oh boy! It feels like 4 or 5....hmm I guess you do need a new paint job by the sounds of it. But to be fair, it seems like the previous paint job didn't last as long as it should have too: I guess it spent lots of time outside, which probably didn't help much! 

    inherent problem with championship white. it yellows. and a few flakes chipped off here and there. the trouble's of daily'ing it. frankly i'm glad it lasted this long. i'm actually looking to move the car along and start on something else. would rather give it on a high note and retire like sangakkara!

    @varotone Confused?

    lol. No worries I'll explain- Was reading through some of my favorite resto-threads here on Autolanka to cut through the boredom. And decided to see if there were any updates on any of Komisiripala's builds as I could see that @matroska and @Komisiripala had logged into comment on some girl hitting them up on AL...Take a look (at the other car threads, not the girls hitting him up...) He's got another thread on a car he built up: A Datsun 510. It'll be right up your alley, based on your current project. Lots of good reading either way... 

    Machan I look after don’s 510’s in Sri Lanka. So I have a 1600 two door SSS sedan, he had an 1800 two door SSS sedan, a 1600 wagon, two four doors and a 521 ute. 
     

    ok, ok that’s a fleet. We are restarting walkers tours ? 

    it’s been 8 years since paint and some parts are peeling off. Uneven and yellowed. Going for a whiter white. Or maybe Phoenix pearl yellow.

    Looking lovely here! :D How are things @Komisiripala? I see you're checking in...All good buddy?

    As you can see, I've been reduced to re-reading old resto-build threads and doling out advice on how to check if batteries are charged to keep myself entertained. *Ah! I should go read a book or something-The horror my life has become! (Am even contemplating reading!)

    But I digress, how are things with your ladies? (Eaaasy, don't need details all your exploits, looking for an update on just the cars! Thank you...) All good? How's the Datsun doing? Any new updates there? 

    hi machan. as much as it looks lovely there, the paint wasn't right. had to get the black accents done later on the front and rear bumpers. she's pending a full paintjob anyways. 

     

    apart from that the honda is more or less done. i'm toying about with an idea for a digital dash, but that's it for now. it just runs, and i'm happy with it doing just that. 

    the datsun is finished too. just some final touches on it. i mean they never really finish do they? its getting a new clutch etc but the shipment is stuck with kapruka global shop and isn't looking pretty at the moment. 

    meanwhile i have the don's cars to take care of as well, so hands are full of 510's these days. loving every moment of it. cheers man!

    Duuuude..!!  It has been a while since I had a peek at Project R in AL and a shit ton of stuff has happened..!

    Good stuff and congrats..!

    Just to refresh my memory, what exactly is this base engine? B18C? Any idea about power/torque output at all?

     

    thanks man. the B18 block was given up on long ago. its now a B20B block, with forged internals and a B18 head with an LS-VTEC conversion. i've described this in the engine rebuild post. i'll tag you there. ;)

    It's going to be awesome (already is, just for the lack of a better word) after that ITR front end is slapped on. Also, +1 for the OEM spoiler!

    the spoiler for me is the biggest concern. im' still in two minds about it. well hey there's time so i'll let it stew on the back burner for a bit. the cams and intake are here with me so those are more pressing concerns!
