small update. interior rear end is finished, left only passengers seat, plastic covers, dash board.

Now working with rear brakes. next week probably will have all braking wheels. this means - first test drive. sadly we have some snow here...

Some good progres in my project.
Enjoy:

later will put on these wheels. now measured, will need to change big brakes to clear caliper with new rims.

Still lot to do, but exterior is almost complete.

coming along well...

that front bumper looks like its been freshly rechromed, and a good job done too :tu:

Fantastic build. 929s really are nice looking cars. The pillarless windows look great.

Is that an Rx4 front bumper?

As everyone has been saying, Australia should have lots of parts, try searching the ausrotary.com forums.

Actualy there is no difference between rx4 and 929 body. except badges on rear fenders, "Rotary Engine" badge on front grille. and thats all (exhoust is different, rear axle bigger) everything from bumpers to lights are the same. Even rear garnish panel on 929 has rotary shaped boot lid lock badge - the same as rx4 had.

Almost all parts that i bought is from australia. Ausrotary is good source for parts.

Now looking for door mirrors (need booth side mirrors) and original AM/FM radio. So if anyone know where to buy, please help.

Beautiful pics!
Look at your interior pic compared to my 1974 Datsun Skyline 240K GT

There are astounding similarities in rear quarters/rear interior, who copied who?

Apex_lt · **Posted:** Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:31 am

thanks for a good word.
about copying... all cars are similar, but it doesn't show that someone was spying.
In some case i couldsay that japanese cars are copied from us. some not.nice skyline you have :tu:

That burnout pic is sick! I'll be posting that one to my blog for sure, hahaha. The car looks like it has a slight forward rake to it, which is totally 100% awesome. :tu:
