Walt's 1973 412 Barn Find

[NurseryWalt]

Chris Walden, that is a 1991 Nissan Figaro. The color is Topaz Mist. There were four pastel colors signifying the four seasons. Mine is fall. I bought it in 2007 with 57,000 kms on it. It is Right Hand Drive, but a lot of fun! Thanks for noticing.

Any update on this project?

[NurseryWalt]

Hello ChicagoVW and others! Sorry for the delay in updates. There have been a few, but always with many weeks of nothing. The mechanic was able to install the engine and transmission. Then the VW went back to the Upholsterer for the front and rear window install. Then it went back to the mechanic who was finally able to start the engine. Sorry no pictures at the moment. But I believe I'm missing some air hoses and a leaf screen on top of the "Tuba" air scoop. Here are the latest photos before heading off to the Upholsterer. We are planning to have gray leather seats and matching door panels. This will hopefully start May 4 and take 2 weeks.
Here are the photos:

Still lots to do but getting closer.

I have been driving it around the nursery a little bit, so that feels kind of neat!
