My R100 Project... I Cant wait to drive it!

Putting a decent R100 together, and it has not been easy tracking down the parts. but it'll be driving this week-end!!! YEAH!!!

I'll post a couple pix tonight, it still multi colored but I have a few things to paint this winter, including this car.... the interior is nearly mint and complete!!!

the grill was the hardest to find, and I have a friend that sold me a couple R100 hoods, that needs a decent grill... if anybody has one, PM me please.

working on this car makes me wish I still had the 1200 "ute" pick-up!!!
that truck was a BLAST to drive with the little piston motor!!

Trying to think of anything I need, and the only thing I can think of would be a stock set of wheels 14's and chrome rings or hubcaps???

Ohh I could use a motor mount for the 12 with the 79-80 5-speed... still drilling holes and need another inch forward...

Gonna go play in the "ICE-RINK" outside in my Rx3-Sp tonight!!! FUN...

I would say that the R100 is the hardest to find parts for out of all the old schools. (Not including the Cosmo 110s of course since we never got it here in the US). But your's looks to be in beautiful condition.

Good luck on this one. I know how hard it's been finding parts for my rx2...
