I spent lockdown with my parents in Auckland. While everyone was panic buying toilet rolls at the supermarket I ran to Repco to purchase degreaser, spring compressors and Scotch Brite pads. I had a project I had been waiting for years to start; pulling apart the Dastuns rather embarrassing engine bay.
Nothing under here has really been touched in 50 years. Being a California car it has a bunch of pipes and valves and smog emissions gear. I actually managed to source a JDM carb balance tube on Facebook market place a year or so ago, so the plan was to strip back the engine, completely clean up the engine bay, rebuild the carbs, removing all the smog emissions parts and put it all back together.
