I made a mistake.
I had decided in the late 1990s to put in an SR20DET into this Datsun 120Y. It was such a horrendous thing to do to this car looking back from 2015. The most fortunate thing was that I had kept all the original drivetrain, engine and accessories intact.
I have arranged to have the car restored back to the condition that it was in originally with the LZ18(4V). The 14-inch Minilite-look race 8 spoke wheels were swapped for this set of 16-inch as the Yokohama Advan slicks were no longer available. Now I'm thinking of swapping back the original 14-inch once I get a set of suitable road tyres.
The fibreglass wheel arches both front and rear will be fitted back!

| Ouch! An SR20DET. It will be taken out ASAP. |
 |
| All the original brake fluid remote mount filler bottles are still intact and will be restored. |

| Brake fluid remote bottle...one can just see it here. Fortunately, I had kept it all intact! |
 |
| Body rust was minimal and the entire car body was checked and will be repaired where necessary before a new coat of epoxy black paint is reapplied. |
