My orangatang 510 here.
Re: Stripping out coupe/Rust repairs/Welding
you and me both. needed it done asap!!! , all that remains is excessive photo coverage and brutal hours through the new year to get this up to spec, dont really have the patience of you 1+ year old datsun owners. when i buy a datsun, i dont f#$k around, i waited 1 month for rust to be fixed, pretty much my breaking point....... clearly you all have the patience of a nun waiting for her first time.nick_m wrote:epic work there Wal. Glad you ended up doing it!
in saying that, after reading multiple threads, you have wickid shitty expenses i dont have to worry about..............and attention to detail is incredible, kitch and dattochriswagon especially (so far read)
watch this space in the new year for engine bay paint and running gear assembled.
and hopefully to spur on any people in the same boat/datsun issues as me....... the time is now!!!!!!!!!!! pull finger everyone, granted i am only new, but goddam IV BEEN TRYING TO BRING THIS UP TO EVERYONES SPEC FOR THE NEXT RALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Just you wait Luke, you think the paint and panel is the hard part, but once it's all painted you'll be looking at all the rusty/dirty latches and bolts and brake master cylinder, suspension bits etc, guarantee you'll be wanting all that stuff mint before you bolt it back on!

this is true of most of us, in hindsight its probably better to DRIVE A CAR with dirty parts that can be made better, than to look at an unfinished car in the garage that has some mint parts and some to be done lol,

Dead right Warwick you've got to draw the line somewhere or else you never get anywhere. and thats when motivation starts to drop off.
