The unreliable and underpowered drive train and lucas electrical system has been replaced with Datsun running gear and my own electrical system. Everything I did to car has about 34,000 miles on complete rebuilds and new parts. A14 engine 80 hp (mogee 948 had 37 hp) electronic ignition, single wire alternator and new weber carb. 63a series dogleg 5 speed overdrive brazed shift forks (rated 175 hp). New driveshaft. Rearend straightened and very rare 3.70 differential installed (mogee had 4.55). Rims are very rare Chevy Vega rims which were bead blasted, painted and clear coated. Brakes stock drums rear, MG front disc. Datsun dual reservoir power boost master cylinder (car has great braking). New radiator. Rear gas shock conversion. Front suspension rebuilt. Gas tank boiled out. Lucas electrical removed replaced with dual relay controlled mini fuse panels. Turn signal dual relay setup. Headlights relay controlled (bright lights). Honda leather full electric seats including electric lumbar control (extremely comfortable). Their size renders rear seat useful for packages etc. not for passengers. Gauges include speedo, gas, tach, vacuum, water temp, oil pressure, volts. Speedometer reads low because of trans swap. I reset needle to try and get it closer so it reads 10 mph standing still. 30 year old lacquer paint job is cracking from age which is normal, one of the pics shows the cracking. I call this paint job a 20 footer. The right side rear leaf spring perch has been repaired will last forever (pics). Both doors have been totally rebuilt everything new. Left windwing lever paddle broke off (pics) but still latches. Passenger side of lower windshield has a crack. New seals for rear glass, quarter glass, windshield glass and trunk are included with sale (I was waiting to paint car before installing, rear seal needs replaced paint job or not). Note seals install from the inside. Everything I have pertaining to this car will be boxed and put in trunk. Please look at all pictures closely and ask any questions you have, I may have missed something that is important to you. I will answer any and all questions. I’ve been retired for 3 years now, I drove this car for a year before retiring, to and from work (80 miles round trip) averaging 40 mpg in stop and go traffic ( I haven’t checked mpg with new weber setup which has about 10 miles on it) I’ve never had a problem with new setup (old mogee setup left me stranded on the side of the road more times than I’d like to remember). I just pulled this car out of storage, adjusted valve train and cleaned it up. Car runs, steers and stops great. With the over drive and 3.70 gears you can actually keep up with traffic on the freeway( example new setup 65 mph tachs around 2900 rpm, (old 948 setup ran around 4600 rpms and sounded like it was ready to explode). You can get in and drive this car without worrying about breakdowns, keeping up with traffic or having to push the brake pedal through the floor trying to get the car to stop. Over the years I’ve sold three of my cars on ebay and received great feed back.
