Just got this to customize for my radiator overflow bottle. Will look a tad better and be easier to hide :-)

Alot of progress done :D cant wait to get her back on the road but have found a theme im going to go with... "old school new school" look. Will have alot of work till i achieve it but have started. Might have a few trips before i start working on it and thank you kitch for the washer nozzle. Thought it would be hard to find one but cleaned it all up and ready to put on. Will show pics in a couple of weeks haha

Looking good.
Glad to see a bit of the Manawatu in your build too.
Kobyn lives ten minutes away, we see his black lines on the road every time we go that way.
Might meet you one day at a North Island Datsun gathering.
