Hi all

Just signed up on the forum and have picked up loads of interesting tips already thanks
I'm currently building a 73 Firenza with a 200sx engine and box that I bought back in August this year
Lots to do but I've got the wiring sorted and it now fires up on the key. Pics to follow

Regards
Stu

Oh its not a sleeper anymore,its full of roll cage inside and there's no hiding the intercooler as it won't fit anywhere inside the body looks meaningful though :D

Hi

all it says on the v5 is 1800 Firenza coupe ?
It was last on the road in 1997 in the Kendal area but apart from that details are sketchy,it has been several colours over the years but originally was gold now red.

the car is currently mocked up awaiting a hub and axel conversion but the engine is now running albeit from a temporary fuel tank while the alloy replacement is modified. I should have my new hubs this weekend hopefully but I'm yet to source the ford rear end needed for the build to progress a little further.
The cage is a safety devices one and its going in mainly to strengthen the shell up for the odd track day when finished.
