the HOLEs you see in the "ends" are for greasing nipples - please make sure to use a grease gun with 'A' grade grease from an IMPORTED SEALED TIN. not local aalo sabon furnace oil paste packed in 'BRANDED TIN'

two blade fan for european market and 4 blade fan for asian market is quite possible and i am sure your memory isn't at a loss, because the lesser blades fan count would make sense for the colder markets

yeah the plugwires were on the list as i wanted to replace all the ignition related bits right from the begining so ordered some and they are on the way

my starter is not original that is correct, i knew from the moment i made a pic but you never know if a NOS one could already be on the way even before i knew mine was not original

you see thats the beauty of having so much love for a particular car, you always seem to remember every tiny detail even when you dont own one. and its such a cool thing for me, to ripe your love for this car out and make this one as original, correct on specs as possible

I had a freind who was an absolute maniac and had a 1500 sedan on which a lot of SS parts were put on. - I'll try to find a picture of the classic "broken grille" of the SS we put on. By looking at the number of locally used SS parts we would discover, it was painful to see the sea of black and yellow luce sedans with 1c diesels puttering around.

please add that as these parts would be really old - even the shipping oil in them would have gelled up by now, install new zerks and remove the boot, pump fresh grease till you see unadulterated grease flow out, wipe it down completely and install the boot back, install on car and pump till the boot is just firm.

I would suggest a good GC-LB rated grease like mobil XHP etc. Same grease for use in bearings. btw - if you can - buy NTN, SKF, timken or F.A.G. branded tapered bearings for the front wheels. All my experiences with tapered bearings with the name nachi on them were horrible. Even with the best grease they would cause problems.

the classic "broken grille" of the SS

reminds me of a thai friend picking this one up last week for his project, NOS 1500 SS, needless to say we are talking about some serious money here

hint: original JDM - think of hen's teeth even in the west

[karsaz.engineers]

sorry mate, you missed the hint(s)
Rx-5 wheels wouldn't be hen's teeth in west because they are factory originals to the Rx-5s which are plenty in europe, secondly they are not speed star racing wheels (refer to SSR brochure image posted as 2nd hint)

[ansarghani]

WOW! SSRs...Uper rare in this part of world! Perhaps its gold filling in hen's teeth cavity!

Sir next time you ask your "jin" to source these rare parts for you, ask to find bumpers of 73 MKII too

yep, original SSRs bought locally but there is no gold filling in the hen's teeth cavity (read not golden) though i might just have hit the goldmine itself
