Well I'm not sure what to do
My old reliable 1000 wagon might need to find a new home
But I'll miss her and not sure what to do with it
Basically
I bought this car in 2006 in very similar body condition to what it is now
I rebuilt the front susp with all new genuine Nissan bushes and 4 new aftermarket balljoints
Set the front up with my vented disc brake conversion and changed the rear cyls to suit
I did some tuning to get her running right and have been driving her as my daily since then
Did all the usual stuff , new battery , leads , plugs , oils, points , condensor , etc
Car runs an A15 , 1200 4 speed (new exedy clutch) and a 120Y cast 3.9 centre + tailshaft (bigger unis)
New wheel bearings and brake shoes recently on rear too
Now she looks shabby... dents and very faded oxidised paint ... but is strong and reliable
Interior needs a tidy too.. door cards are torn , carpets OK.. dodgy gemini console too !!
Theres rust starting... surface mostly... but theres a couple of spots in the body that will need attention soon (nothing major)
I have a spare pair of doors , guards , bonnet , plenum grille and some bumpers with over riders too
Also have new Nissan rubber bushes for the rear springs, water pump , and a few other bits and pieces
So I was debating selling as is with included parts... or giving fresh parts , paint ,door cards and then sending her on her way
However I have enough projects already so really don't want to start another ... I have 2 x KB10's waiting for some love ... not to mention other stuff
Decisions decisions
So I need suggestions (and guide prices)
