Ranman72 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 bummer on the paint code thanks for putting in the effort I think this is a 68 and maybe 69 color only Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well I finely talked to the guy I dropped Manuel trans with that seemed to have a syncro problem. He said a pin had sheered somewhere in it. So anyway my next move is to get the car to him and bring a new pressureplate and clutch too. Have him change the trans he worked on with the one that did not work and see what is going on with it. Hopefully it will make it back to the house and run it some every week. Then get back on the trash in the tank problem on the 70/ 510. Just have to take some time off to get it done. Then after the 72 and 70 sedan's are up and running get a working motor and trans in the goon and get it rolling. And find a body shop to fix the bump on the driver side rear. 1 Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Started waxing and polishing the front end, and chrome polish on the chrome, got the fenders forward done with the hood, and cowl. Got a week and a half till the roadster show, still need to finish fenders back (which is easier since less grime got on it) and detail back up the interior and engine bay. Love when you can see reflections in the paint. 1 Quote Link to comment

jovial_cynic Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Finished wiring up the ignition. Push-button starter works like a charm. I need to wire in the two fuel pumps now so I can actually get the engine to kick over. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Swapped in a 5 speed. No big deal. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Updated side markers... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Updated side markers... Although I prefer the stock units, at least now finding replacements are easy. Usually the re-pops have nice lenses but the gaskets as shit. Nice job. I need to fix mine here soon. Tired of only having one and want turn signals. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah, I'm thinking maybe '68s aren't stamped? My 71 isn't stamped either fyi found its hit and miss for any year datsun ... goon had none blue car and both trucks are stamped ... franks truck isnt stamped either i believe.... i think it was prolly different depending on the build location Quote Link to comment
