I bet that shot was staged. You'd sleep with the fuel cap off, and the flap open so the fumes give you nice dreams.
Must be sweet waking up and seeing that every morning too!

Thats actually where me bed and car were for a week.

After moving out of RIVERSIDE because of the last quake, moving in with my parents temporarily with my cars squashed in the garage, then moving into a new flat, building rooms in that. Then having another big quake I have finally started working on my datsun again.

Made some patches for 2 rust holes, and have sanded down the engine bay and masked it up to paint.


This gay from the UK painted some primer and highlights.


Have masked it all up and am still deciding what colour to paint it, Green would obviously look good but im almost keen for a bandit wild colour. Maybe metallic bright red or something?

Suggestions?

[Bartman]

Stick with the green.

Nothing wrong with pastel colours! lol...ORANGE

pastel orange then flick green paint on it and paint your rocker covers with hammerite.

Purps to match your cage holmes

Splashed and hammerite would have been porno as shit but im not awesome enough to do that.

More progress engine bay has been painted now. Stuck with green as the places to mask it off were going to look average another colour.


We could quite get the exact colour so its darker but with heaps of pearls and flakeso it looks sweet. Looks shit in the photos much better in person.

I paid the painter 3 sausages and a box off woodstockfor the paint and spraying so im stoked with how its turned out.

Picked up my engine and drove on the rear bumpstops to the flat.


Spent today putting the engine and box in everythings going to plan so far.
Cam covers are off to get stripped for paint, the red was flaking off all over the show.

Good worth Andy!
In the last pic you can get a handle on the effect of the paint. Did you paint the chassis black though?
