Hey guys n gals
Joined this forum a bloody long time ago but have been pretty stagnent with my projects, trying to kick myself into gear and get something done and at the very least documenting my progress will be a way to keep on trucking.
Here I have a 1985 Isuzu Piazza, originally bought brand new in new by a lady in wellington with 85kms on the clock. However i bought it off a young fella in 2020 for a measly 500 bucks as I was sick of driving a fwd auto daily and my Aristo was my long term project.
Got 3 months of daily driving before the motor said see ya later In the form of a 12mm spanner somehow being in the sump and taking a chunk out of number 1 piston (ill elaborate in another post haha)
After that the car sat for a couple years before i finally got the chance to dive in and fix it, rust being the main issue like all old 80's cars but nothing i wasnt scared to tackle myself.
I also have picked up an original piazza G200W Twincam from a parts car which was an absolute score.
Plan is i want to daily this as much as possible once on the road but also have it ready from some "Have a go" days at the local track. Should be pretty interesting.
Will upload some pics of what it last looked like and what im dealing with atm.
cheers everyone
