Nice purchase.

Some apparent superficial rust, nice straight body panels.

Cheers.

Its still got firm paint,never had a bodywork done as far as i can see it.so far i have got the brakes and clutch done,windscreen done as it was leaking,front end is out will clean it up and paint it.
got the car for $600 with lots of spares.will keep it the same color and i will be at taupo datsun meet this year in my 180b...
what iam trying to do for now before the weather is not in our favor is to get wof n rego.will do the paint work in summer.
cheers

thnx shane.i guess we shouldnt muck around with our rides or whatever it is,if you have the love for it then do it right.
well i have got my panel beater mate to edge primer the guard n lower panel for me and he fixed the dent on the bonnet.everything is back on the car and today i got the front bumper on and connected the lights.
trying to get WOF this week,fingers crossed.
it rained the other day in auck and no more leaks inside the car now.there is a small leak in the boot.i cant figure out where its coming from.anyone can think of that...
also vegie(craig) gave me a pair of weather shield,which was on his spare GL p610.
I now need a good condition front bumper,mine one is rusty.i cleaned it out and put rust killer on it for now.

cheers

Hi guys,

My 180b is road legal now.I got the wof done and paid for rego and also got full insurance cover from AA.
Used it all day today and just cant go over it.will get the painting done later but for now i will need to change one of the rear wheel bearing as its hamming at certain speed and its very irritating.

cheers
