Back From The Dead - 180Sx Restoration

[JoJo Shea]

I am looking for some advice or some help with this at the moment. Does anyone know is its ok the use high tensile bolts on parts like bolting the gearbox together or what other options is there apart from breaker yard. Im looking at going into the shop and walking out with a mix of high tensile nuts and bolts but wondering is that ok or what. Thanks in advance

Can't answer your bolt question jojo but glad to see the passion is still there despite the horror you've had to endure. Can't wait to see this back on the road and you enjoying it again at long last. Have you tried driftbits or elite autos for bolts? some of the trickier bolts might just be sitting on their shelves waiting to be sent out.

Cheers Larz, to be honest it wasn't until Christmas day I was painting the engine bay that the passion to keep working on it came back properly. I have not tried them Larz, thanks I completely forgot about them to be honest. For the normal bolts and things I dont mind getting high tensile from a shop but its the specific bolts that have grooves etc and because I dont have any originals to go by its just taking time to organize everything. Might give you a message some evening to have a look at your 180 if that is ok Im just trying to figure out how to run my wiring and break and fuel lines underneath and while google is great, I cant find anything that is answering what im looking for. until I get nuts and bolts my next jobs are start putting parts back into the engine bay and maybe look at putting the wiring in.
