66 Bellett diesel in California

http://carslr.com/car/1966-isuzu-bellett-4714768

Found this today. It's about 3 hours from my house. But I can't have 3 belletts....right? Not until at least one is running anyways.

Re: Pair of GT's in California

Thanks for the link. No sign of the diff or gears yet. Just the case. There are still parts in the shed at previous owners house so hopefully something will pop up there.

Doug, nice to hear from someone on the same coast. I really am curious just how many of these there really are in the states ...

Re: Repair bushings with 3M window weld

I guess first off I should admit that I have not yet ripped the front end of a bellett down yet. I do know they have some unique features and that the above mentioned "fix" may not apply to any of the bushing on these cars.

I also agree that ultimately a proper replacement bushing needs to be your ...

Re: Repair bushings with 3M window weld

Before there was a "website" to remember.

Re: Big Block Dodge

One of the other projects.
A 1967 Camaro RS/SS 350 4speed.
It needs full restoration as well. Original white with black deluxe interior, black vinyl roof, black nose stripe.

The last pic is of some rare California snow. I live 30 min. north of SanFrancisco, so it only happens every 13 years or so ...

This one is for dave over at garageofawesome. Noticed they like the muscle cars

I have more than a few projects at the moment, and all are rare beasts. Sometimes thats not a good thing.
This one here is a 1967 Dodge Dart GTS. There were only 457 GTS darts made in 67. All came with the big block 383 ...

Repair bushings with 3M window weld

I havent seen it mentioned so heres the info. I don't know if there are any restrictions on chemicals like this globally. But you can buy 10oz tubes on amazon for $16-25 USD. Not bad when one tube can do around 8-10 control arm sized bushings easily.

for a few years people here in the states have ...

Re: California coupes

You are correct glenn, and it just rattle can from the looks of it. The dash is painted one solid terrible brick red color. Looks like house paint, hopefully it is not to hard to remove. I need to test a spot and make sure theres chrome around the lights. Are the headlight rings steel or aluminum ...

California coupes

So today I went through the GTN and found a few goodies. Unfortunately not the rear diff parts I was hoping for.
The a/c unit from the black car was in the trunk along with some old brake drums, a clutch, and amazingly enough the original jack and tire block.

I had to laugh when I finally looked ...

Re: Pair of GT's in California

So I finally managed to grab the other bellett from where it was being stored and now both are here at home with me.

I was peeking around in the history section and, thanks to dave for the awesome 1972 brochure!!, it appears that I have one 1800GTN and one 1800GT.

The original owner just informed ...
