Saving a 1960’s Japanese Grocery Getter- Daihatsu Fellow Restoration EP1
I Recently purchased this SUPER tidy 1968 Daihatsu Fellow which is powered by a 360cc Twin Cylinder water cooled Two Stroke, It's a 4-speed manual RWD Kei Car that Daihatsu designed under strict Kei Car Rules in the 60's
Purchased not running and pulled apart we bolted it back together to find that exhaust gas was entering the cooling system.
The decision was made to restore the factory engine and in this episode of The Skid Factory we start the process!
The body is in pretty good shape so it will be staying as is but the complete driveline is being either repaired or replaced!
I'm excited to get this little JDM Cruiser back on the streets and driving in Australia!
I'm very thankful for the help of my friends! "None of us is stronger than all of us"
