The GR Yaris has to be the best hot hatch of 2021 IMO. What a great car to own. Glad that you are having fun!

Bought myself a 180sx for 6 grand😂
Nice! You'd be lucky to find one for less than 30K these days.

I checked out "Datsun parts shop" they have everything I need but its not cheap 🥲😔
Yes please! If you can kindly share a few websites that'll be great!
thank you!
Thanks!
Actually, Datsun Parts Shop is one of the main ones. Has loads of parts for the B110. Another one is Mad Dat.
https://www.maddat.com.au/search?q=B110&type=product (Link with search results for B110 parts)
For weather strips and rubber beadings and stuff, you can try Rare Spares

Great stuff! An Arduino fan myself with several boards around the house powering my home automation system. The first time I'm hearing about Speeduino. Pretty cool!
As @MrCat said, there's a great Datsun community here. Not just in Perth, but in most other states as well. Prices of highly sought after models have definitely sky-rocketed in the past couple of years. It's crazy!
There's a few local websites as well that shop internationally. Happy to provide details.

I like where this is headed! Interesting build after a while. Keep us posted!

Congratulations on the purchase. Can relate to all of the symptoms described at various points of my history of car ownership - except maybe the lack of a handbrake lever.
Good luck in restoring her to her former glory.

Congratulations mate! Never thought I'd say this about a Yaris, but that actually looks amazing! Nice choice of colour too.
Wishing you many happy journeys with it!

The air compressor could be a separate DIY project on it's own! Well done!
Do you think it will hold consistent pressure as you are painting? Or do you think you will have to take it in batches? I'm sure it will be able to handle all the prep work like primer and maybe even the initial base/guide coat.

Well done @kusumsiri. Having a workshop manual sure opens lots of interesting avenues doesn't it. Even if you have it, you need to be brave enough to take a transmission apart and put it back together. So again, kudos!

Hopes to keep its original condition. The pedal is stopping its half way. Hope it will function well. But no way to check the real situation. Also I am OK with pumping the brakes as I learned driving such way by a Austin lorry. ?
Ah the good old days with pumping the brake pedal. I learnt to drive the same way too. When I first got to drive a car with servo assisted brakes, I applied the same force on the brake pedal and thought the brakes were binding because all four wheels would lock up.
I assume you wouldn't be driving the car on a daily basis nor will you be doing frequent long trips, so as long as you are vigilant and have experience driving with this sort of brakes, you should be alright.

Very clean! This is how it should be done! Great stuff @kusumsiri.

Making good progress @kusumsiri! Keep it up!
One thing I can advise you on is to keep the wiring well away from the welding torch. While your tinkerer is cutting out external panels, there might be wires that go through small cavities that'll get torched in the process if not moved away or properly shielded.

Good luck with the project!

Just read this! Great writeup mate! And nice colour choice! ?

As I said before, if this isn't the cherry on top, I don't know what is. Not everyday can we submit our daily into a drag race and win. Congrats machan!
Kudos to the pit crew as well. Sounds like they had their work cut out for them.

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!

Every time I see this interior, it makes my heart leap. There should be a picture of this dashboard in the Sinhala dictionary under the phrase "Budu Ammo!".

Great work @MADZ and the team! Looks great! There's a lot of exploring to do!
Kudos on the 5GB storage space.
