Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Steve did you just use the TR-3 product ? ...now you have to do the rest or "refade" the fender :D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yep just the TR3 by hand. Got the hood done, gonna get the rest of it shiney also. It really is pretty amazing the difference from the faded to the polished and I'm not even trying hard. I'm picking up my buffer tonight so it should get even shinier :D 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Got the OK from the Doc... Picture time... The dash was refinished by my buddy Brad. It's not 100% but it's not the trash that was in there either. I'm goning to have the door and ashtray painted to match. Taking my time and trying to let the paint dry on the calipers. 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Mmmmm disc brakes... Gotta pick up some new, shorter caliper bolts. But they still look sexy. Buh bye Hello... :w00t: Nothin like stock upgrades, the calipers and the lines are from an 89 Pathfinder :thumbup: Wiring up the dash too...what a pain in the ass. 2 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I need to get a new bolt for the drivers side upper kingpin. I got bushings coming. Does anyone know the bolt size for that one? Got some stickers today. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Moarrr lowwwrrrr :P It's as low as I'm gonna take it. I got other stuff to do to it. Correct throttle cable install and cleaning up wiring under the hood are next on the list. After that it's time to replace the diff (long legs :devil:) and the carrier bearing. Plus drive it a bunch. :) Quote Link to comment

78kingcab Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 hell ya that thing is sweet...i dont remember it being so shinny at canby... Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Some more KA swap stuff. I picked up a pathfinder accelerator cable so I can use all of the throw of the KA throttle. The 720 one only used about half of the throw. Next set of motor mounts I do are gonna drop the motor another inch as the clearances sucks right now. Had to remove the valve cover to get the lower bolt. I replaced it with a shorter one to make the process a little easier next time. Because of the clearance issue I broke the accelerator cable housing getting the valve cover bolt in, but it still works great and clipped into all the KA cable holders. Anyways, here some pics Installed a set of mudflaps I have. Someone cut up the original ones Drove it to the store to pick up the last of supplies for the Christmas weekend. Drove and stopped good, but the front shocks need some travel Quote Link to comment
