After two years of hard work and dedication we catch up with Liam Rodgers to see the results of his restoration of a 1974 Datsun 180B sedan. We also talk about his other plans and projects including a Suzuki Carry flatbed.
Nice clean simple build. I picked up my first 180B last year. In Japan. 1975 610 1800SSS. Trying to keep to a budget on it because my 240 zed, hakosuka, and daily Stagea 260RS have been taking up most pf my car budget! Went fully tapped coilovers on those cars. R200 lsd in hakosuka and Z. Z also has billet rear adjustable arms/billet r200 mount. I have r31 japan market GTST front struts and wanting to do the same as you have. Reperch and spring it vs making another set of coilovers. But Id have to find some 610 top spring tops. P/o did some weird coilover spring unto 610 stock struts and put adjustable camber plates and tossed the original 610 tops. Car is a mess and still sorting it out. Nice to see the appreciation for the 180b over there. They didnt get as popular as the 1600 in Japan. Not many left nor does one see them at most car meets. But there is a small resurgence of interest in them lately.
