New Zealand Datsun Club

haha, thanks heaps Chris!!!
The J looks mint, and we look forward to getting stuck into it when we get back

So it's been just a wee while.... But at long last there is progress. The panel beater has been around and straighened up the left rear where the corner had been smashed in a little. On the right rear he's unstitched the inner gaurd panel, pulled out the dents and remade the body lines ,which were previously hidden under a mountain of bog, and welded the inner guard panel back on. Just a few hours next weekend to do the finishing touches and it's ready for paint

oooo nice one,

any idea on what colour your going for?

Panel beater all done here's the finished product. Painter on his way now to have a squiz.

Has been a busy weekend got the car back Saturday morning and got stuck into it. Heaps of time consuming stuff, sifting through boxes nuts , bolts, heaps of dodackies and whatsamacallits Every piece that's been put back in the car has been taken apart and cleaned/painted and even new foam in the heater!

So far the hood linings in visors too, gas tank is in, pedal box and steering column mounted, most of the wiring is in, C pillar trim done. I don't know heaps of other little bits are in too. datto_610 aka Greg has also received a box of goodies off me to zinc plate.

Also brought myself a pair of brand new tail lights and window channel felt last night

Anyways here's some pics of the car in its color

wow! looks great! Can't wait to see this in the flesh at Akaroa.

I happened to be reading an old classic car mag at the Doctors the other day, saw the advert that led to your eventual ownership.
