I just completed restoration of my 69 Skyline. Complete restoration with all new OEM Nissan parts! New bumpers, lights, grill, rubber, light lenses, grill, tail lights, and mouldings. Found her being used as a STORAGE SHELF in a motorcycle shop while searching for parts for another 71 Skyline was putting together.
This one was in great shape with almost no rust or filler, Rare with uncut rear fenders. No rust holes anywhere. Just a few dings here and there so I decided to complete restoration on this 69 instead on the 71. This one was completely taken apart and came as a shell and 3 van loads of parts in boxes.
She was a restoration project the previous owner started over 20 years ago ago and never finished. Less than 40,000km on the odometer!. She was last registered for the road in Yokohama Japan and her last set of plates were turned in 20 years ago!! Turns out that I am the 2nd owner to have her registered in my name.
Tried to stay original as much as possible and thought maybe l could live with stock single carb L20 and keep it as originalas possible. THAT DIDNT LAST LONG! After a month of putting around with the 2liter, I needed at least a L28 with triple Mikuni 44`s. Photos on next page... Restoration photos to come soon.
