Sparkle's 315 from NZ

Hey guys,
thought I should start one of these up. I picked up this car just over 3 years ago in a sad state. It had been written off due to accident damage (no longer road worthy), and needed re-registering on the system/quite a procedure.
It sat in my shed for a good year and a half or so until my datsun 620 failed its 6 monthly warrant of fitness check on a list as long as my arm. Making me think that the cheaper option would be to get the E21 road worthy. Probably not cheaper, but it was a good excuse!
Got it registered, repainted the front valance correctly, and lost the ugly cheap aftermarket side mirror.
Had our yearly 2013 car club nationals coming up (oldschool.co.nz), so decided to make some big changes.
Firstly got some 15" mini steels widened to 8" and changed the offset to 0
and got some fortune auto coilovers made up
Was happy how the car looked, but wasn't sold on the wheel colour. Got them repainted before 2014 nationals last year
Managed to pick up a sweet old nostalgic New Zealand autosport race seat. So comfy!
And a 2.0 out of a E21 320 that I'll hope to have rebuilt with higher compression, and sidedraughts before 2015 nationals next year! (also note aforementioned 620's tray)
