Work started back last year in September. Tracking down parts and other necessary bits to put back together. Fixed rust in the engine bay, which was on either side of the strut towers. Welded in patched and repaired. Looks new
Recently sanded back and prepd engine bay, boot and door shuts. Now painted with original Datsun green colour.
Running gear has all been sprayed and underbody has been undersealed with new stuff. The running gear has all been put back in, so is currently a rolling body
Working on getting the motor in soon, waiting for new engine mounts to arrive. Have installed new clutch and managed to get a standard 4 speed box to go back in, which seems ok. When the mounts arrive ill work on getting the engine (a12 standard, single carb) in and running (hasnt been started for 15 years).
Eventually will be a SSS replica with further engine and suspension modifications. Have another a12 that will eventually be worked to include dellortos, cam and head work.
After that will organise panel beater to sort out some rust in the right rear of the roof and fix any little areas. Body is reasonably straight.
PS the guy before me started sanding the body and the ministocker left it outside
Any suggestions, comments or tips welcome
