Got most of the metal work done. Got the patches welded in. Lower mirror holes welded up. Need to patch the upper mirror holes, then I’m back on pulling and smoothing dents.

Looking good! I like the spoiler

How is the Datsun market where you are located?
Draker replied to mikec4193's topic in General Discussion
Still a lot of them up here in the PNW, prices are all over the place. Deals can still be had, but not going to find a $100 beater, or a $500 runner. Usually parts cars are about $300-1000 depending on condition. -
I probably have a brow.

To whom it may concern, i'm waiting on a text back about floors

Wood, carpet, LVP? -
koyo if looking for aluminum. Champion are the cheaper units, I wouldn't associate them with quality, but some have had success. Some have not.

Stitch welded the patch on. flap disk and it’s smooth. Got a little warpage, but they’re low spots. I’ll deal with this later. But the rust is gone from this corner. this is the other side. As mentioned cut square before I saw rustbins comment. Doh! I sealed in zero rust, and then (not yet pictured) seam sealed it. More zero rust.

unfortunately my thread is a little behind actual progress so I already chopped the metal off square. But I’ll definitely remember this for next time, makes sense!

I don't think this one is saveable based on the look of that gear. Not even sure how that much shit gets into a transmission.
-
chopped this out of spare door but it was rusted in the corner also. So I made a piece and grafted it in.

Whatever you do, don't let your adapters get to tall. Had a Frankenstein adapter setup once. The engine vibration caused the soft brass adapter to crack and eject oil everywhere. Luckily close enough I was close to home and engine was not harmed. I think I'm running the Amazon one posted above now. Or similar.

thank you!

yeah, maybe just got spoiled with amazon type service. I did end up getting the tools. No shipping confirmation. They just randomly came in the mail. thanks!
