It has a 123ignition and drives very nicely with sorted suspension and other goodies. Is going to get the 4 dial cluster I have spare, hopefully today.
Otherwise, drive lots and enjoy!
That is awesome....

I want 123 ignition :(
David is sold on them, now so am I. Fiddle free distributor ftw!
I think it is he whom has a brand new 164 123... Want it bad but they are soooo expensive, well worth it, but ouch
Yup, not to bad if you compare to a new distributor though.. Advance that actually works is cool too.
Wanna host an inspection BBQ? :P
Looks good save for the usual rust - if you didn't already know, the 240 rubber windscreen seals fit and achieve a much better seal which helps prevent the rust which is symptomatic of the later 140 cars fitted with the full chrome seal like your has.

On a side note, I'm considering selling the 17's I have on my 145 let me know if you're interested.
Yeah, the seals are all getting quite stale. Switch to 240 seals sounds like a good idea.
Interior looks fantastic!
Yup, it is from England and was driven overland so has a different interior to aus delivered stuff.
I hope that guard gets swapped ASAP :lol:
Nice buy Will...looks very tidy! I also have that rust in the windshield corners that I am going to have to deal with too. Mmmm wondering if it will need to be cut out and patched or nipped and bog?

@redkiwi which 17" are you looking sell? If its the Rikens (are they 17"?) hit me up with a PM.

The paint on the spare 144 doesn't match either due to the respray so rocking the falcodore style for the mo.
