Excellent work!
I'm very interested in seeing the 120Y master conversion. Yours are the best pics of one that I've seen so far. Keep 'em coming

Thanks Hak,
 
I will keep posting but it will be a while before I can fit it as there are a number of other jobs needing to be done first.
 
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them if I can.
 
Cheers
 
Matt

To this.
 
I am very happy.  Just in primer for now as I'll do the whole car a panel at a time.
 
If you need someone reliable and priced well then please call Brad @ South East Customs in Glen Waverley Vic  0487 436 423.

I ditched the Cordia GSR seats idea and installed these yesterday.
 
I like the look as they are a period design.
 
If anyone knows what they came out of or what brand Id' like to know.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

Little update.
 
I removed the coolant hoses from the intake manifold and rerouted the heater lines into the block below the 4th exhaust port.
 
Painted the headers too.
 
Cheers
 
Matt

Fuel lines hooked up.  Not sure if the return line is required but if not no biggie.
 
All that's left is to relocate the coil and wire it up then run the accelerator & choke cables.

Hi Matt
 
Those seats of yours look very much like 80's aftermarket Stratos seats. The head rest and triming design give it away.
 
Cheers Mark.

More pics,
 
The fuel pump has crapped itself so I need a new one.  Other than that it is pretty much done bar the accelerator cable, choke & tuning.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt
