Mickeys 120y

Post by Datsin »

Well after my datsun hibernated in the garage for a good year, it finally woke in the right place! Wal's (2doors) garage :D where it was going to get a bit of panel work done and some new paint. But after closer inspection of the body work and a bit more rust than first thought the decision was made to get serious so then came the big strip down and rebuild.

After wal was finished with the body work it went to his mate tony who did the respray back to the original colour. Both done a great job so good to see the car looking so good! :D

So now ive just been bearing the cold putting it all back together its starting to take shape and looking really good.

Cheers for the comments guys :) yea it does look a bit white in the photos but its actually more of a cream in person some mite say off white lol and ill be putting that black stripe down the side of it again.
If only i could get some eagers! i cant even get those yokohamas anymore (my whole set down to below rubber :badgrin: ) but my brother found an other tyre that does the white letter so im getting a set of cooper cobras 205/60 13 instead.
Im looking forward to seeing what the boot going to be like havent done anything like it before but i knew what i wanted and how i want it to look so im going with that, going to either be fully carpeted or the same black vinyl as the interior going to get done and just going to have the one amp that will be hung on the fuel tank side. Spare wheels are over rated i usaully pop 2 tyres at once anyway and not by doing skids either :oops: (dam train tracks!) its much more important to have 10kg of magnet in there :lol:
