Nice!!, what brakes did you go with? S13?

[DatsunP510]

So I've got most of my panel work done. Been tidying up other bits and pieces in between painting other people's projects etc

How did you clean the block, head and intake manifold? Were they sand blasted? Are they sealed in anyway (clear coated)?

Steam cleaned the block, degreased it... Degreased it again, red scotched the whole thing, cleaned it about 4 times, masked bits and pieces, metal cleaned it, acid etched it, primed it, sprayed with direct gloss black 2k (wet on wet the paint process)

Have used this method on my corvette motor and countless others without it ever delaminating...

sweet! where did you get the mounting brackets from for the calipers to the struts? I'm trying to track some down for my car

[Tony.buchler]

I'll have a look. Someone on trade me. But now I have someone who can have them laser cut which I can organise if ya want (use mine as a template)

Slowly but surely. Hard to find time, it sux working on a car when mine sits across the work shop staring at me, begging to be finished

Yeah, but why don't you tell these viewers what fine 90s specimen you get to work on
I see an interesting bumper behind an interesting car behind another interesting car (your 1200) in one of those photos
