some of datsun progress
finally remembered to bring my camera to work. should have new air filter on monday. already replaced fuel lines before i ever took pics. most were still original and 43 years old.

how about some before and afters.

just more pics

original blue engine paint. for that matter almost everything, beside distributer, where original.

some new cancer i found under the battery box. pretty flat area shouldn't be too hard to fix. but i have spent many hours fully poking around and lets just say its a lot worse than I thought. Id say both floor pans need be removed along with some other very major spots. definitely have my work cut out.

put side emblem on hood, it was best condition one I had

removed soft top frame and cover. mmmmm potential!

original shifter bezel & rubber boot

driveshaft ftw

great example of how thin the metal is on this car

new one, was only meant to be temporary, only spent 45 mins on it. needs more sanding and decide on how it will be finished out. will have leather shift boot as well.

oh and dad stopped by (fathers day) for his z-speed under shroud install.
