Shagy Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 so picked the carb up from the shop. They had to replace the main body of it. Mouse Poop + Mouse Urine + Carb Body + 30 ish years sitting = no good carb.. Oh well. Carb is now rebuilt. I'm waiting for a base gasket so I can put the car back on and I'm going to see if she fires up. Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 that side of the carb was LOADED with moust poop.... sat in there for who knows how long. THe car was in the field for 31 years. I think the poop just ate it away. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm surprised you did gut this thing completely before you dropped it off at the body shop. Body work is more simple the less crap we can fuck up, i.e. windows, chrome , etc etc I always hate working around parts and pieces that cant get hit with a sanded or primer or? keep the pics a comin Quote Link to comment

We're going to gut it and pull the glass there. Along with the motor in a few weeks. I was worried about the glass and the welding. I expressed my concern about that loudly. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Patch panel before getting cleaned up. Reflector holes welded up Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Got the hatch cleaned up and some primer shot, Wanted to cover the bare metal. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 well lots of time has passed. Lots of bullshit also ensued. As things sit I have spent $3500 on "paint and body work". The body shop I took them to is pretty shady. My last $1000 went to what ever he spent it on, but NOT my car. Car was hit while in his parking lot, no phone call was made to inform me. Car was moved to his parents house because he needed room at the shop, no phone call was made to let me know. I had to go pick the car up. I had enough of the bull shit. I posted this all on the ratsun Facebook page also. I'm sure I've left some stuff out....but I've typed this a few times. But here are some photos.... Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Here are a couple photos that show the damage that happened at this shop.... This is just random BS from the car sitting out.... But hey..I had time to restore my emblem.... Quote Link to comment
