Kostamojen Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Some test fitting done today, along with a few installed parts. The fenders and grill and such are not installed permanently, however the trunk is done: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subafreak Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ah that picture reminds me. In the ff1 manuale i have it says the wagon only used that rear end set up, and that the sedans used one almost exactly like the gen 1's. Any insite on that?

subaru360 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Did you ever get your engine situation sorted out. Somebody posted this on the 360 club website. Brand new ff1 engine for $400. http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/pts/1965650401.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Engine situation is good. More concerned with the clutch and engine/transmission mount situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ff1 manuale i have it says the wagon only used that rear end set up, and that the sedans used one almost exactly like the gen 1's. Any insite on that? That manual is for the 71-72 model years basically. They don't even have the correct body part diagrams and such in them for the 70. The 70 is a mix of the early and late model FF-1, with body parts mixed in from both and the rear suspension is from the wagon for the US models for some reason.

Psyko Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Possibly a dumb question, but I'll ask just in case... Are you going to give that thing an undercoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Possibly at some point after its running. In other news, finally found a hood prop. Turns out MGB's from the 70's used similar hood props, and It looks like I can shorten one to fit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Small update: Found a hood prop finally. Its for a '70's MGB. Its actually somewhat trick, as you just lift the hood and it locks open, then you lift it slightly and drop it to close it, no extra effort required Installed a couple things in the engine bay, but otherwise been working on adjusting the hood, repainting the hinges and the front subframe (not shown in pic) due to overspray. I'm waiting for ~68 parts to get back from powdercoating so I can start doing the major work, should be done next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Let me know about any NOS you forsee needing. I've got a few sets of lenses ,lights ,etc. that are coming out of storage boxes lately. There's that guy with the wagon in CA -now sold -and the new onwer has contacted me about a few items. I just want to make sure I don't let something go that you might need.

Jibs Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 That hood lever is nice. So those mounts were already there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure I don't let something go that you might need. Right now I'm just needing lots of nuts/bolts and rubber mouldings, everything else is in good shape and ready to go with just a little elbow grease. If I do run into any problems though, I'll let you know. That hood lever is nice. So those mounts were already there? Ya, here is what the factory one looks like. I didn't have one, and this actually works better cause you don't have to tighten the knob: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsunrides Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I so can't wait to see this done. I'm sure you want to even more! It motivates me to try and get mine finished by spring/summer. Well, at least for JCCS. Are you planning to take yours to the show? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostamojen Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Dorifto! I actually wanted to show off how much interior room there actually is in this car. With the seat in, I'd sit maybe 1" or 2" higher than that, but theres like a foot of clearance with the helmet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
