Dmb3sge Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 WOW, nice quality work, bet that wasn't cheap! Yup for a mirror ,I would say it wasn´t on the cheap side. Though the custom base was 65$ and the donor mirror was another 70$ so 135$ in total I think it wasn`t a bad deal B) B) Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 No not terrible for a one off Quote Link to comment

Dmb3sge Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 thanks ! all is coming together, though slooooowly. I was hoping to finish the body work in 2017 but I guess that 2018 will do lol I´ll posting more pics of the progress soon Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Believe me, I've done several projects, and as they say, patience is a virtue. It can certainly be trying to keep interest going. Baby steps, and track your progress. Quote Link to comment

It can certainly be trying to keep interest going. Baby steps, and track your progress. yup the most frustrating part is that I have to travel and I´m gonna be away for 4 months or so, I really want to drive the car before I leave but at this rate I don´t know if it´s gonna be possible which sucks.This weekend we took the dash off and gues what I found !... more freaking rust ! the owner of the body shop was thinking about charging me more and I was like dude don´t have a penny to spend thanksfully t wasn´t that much but for a second I thought wel I´m fucked lol here are some pics of the progress Quote Link to comment
Hotblack Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Looks good. You can't put too much insulation or sound deadening if you really want comfort and some sort of quiet. We all know they're a bit loud and " tinny" from the factory. I really insulated and dyna matted the rear quarters of mine. I was feeling back there on Tuesday and discovered a very bad wreck repair,. So deeper I went, but fixed it the right way, and back on track....it never ends sometimes ( to think it all started with a dirty engine compartment...) Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Where did you get yours at? That's a bunch but you'll be thankful you did it later Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Aweeeeesome you insulated the crap out of the car lol hey guys does anybody know if I can still get the original paint if I have the paint code? cuz I think I have it : Nissan regal red metallic,MFR code 926, Du pont k8021 I don´t know if it´s a silly question but I know little about paint and paint codes :confused: Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 You certainly can, just find an actual auto paint store, they'll be able to cross it, or you can just bring in a gas cap cover or whatever and they can " gun it" and match it. If you're not sure about painting i suggest " one step"( clear and color together) if not most paint now is " base coat, then clear coat". Good luck feel free to ask any questions on that, that's one of my funnest classes, I'll post pics of my paint color soon, super cool phase shifting, custom mixed white/purple...good luck on the paint, put LOTS on ( then you can fix any problems) and don't rush it, good paint is 95% prep work...

I know that the car hasn´t been resprayed and I´m comparing it against paint that was cover by the rubbers so there is no chance that the sun has deteriorated it :confused: so I´m torn between what it´s supposed to be the original paint and the actual paint in the car Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 See if you can find an original paint book, OR a piece big enough for them to use a "UV LIGHT GUN" on. Good paint store can match it based on a sample piece... certainly close enough for a complete job. Quote Link to comment

Fat510 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Ted added to a Facebook A10 group where the one of the admins asked if a 620 pedal box would fit an A10... :sick: what are those window cranks out of? and are they powered? I'm curious Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Looks like an aftermarket power window unit... they piggy back on top of the regular hand crank... Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Someone needs to contact Burabuda and have him change the thread title to ^) this dude's (^ build thread. 2 Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Someone needs to contact Burabuda and have him change the thread title to ^) this dude's (^ build thread. yeah, he can take it over now that my A10 was totalled a few years back. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 this dude's needs to start a build thread instead of clogging up this one Fixed. ^_^ Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Probably, BUT it's nice to see project progress, especially on weeks I haven't made any myself that week(s). It has also been a good resource for him and I during questions. Just my two cents worth. I personally don't check the build threads, almost nothing on A-10's. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 don't check the build threads, almost nothing on A-10's. Well, perhaps if... ^_^ Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Seems to me A10s are pretty rare. Wish I could get another. I miss mine. Been balls deep in this B210 for a year now. Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 my bad I got a bit carried away ...Maybe a lot lol I do follow the built threads and I don't remember seing any A10 built,at least not in the first pages, let alone a wagon ( sucker for the wagons here ! love Duncan's built ) well I'm in the states now so I dont think I'm gonna be able to get enough pics to open a built thread and keep it interesting I did went to pick up the car from the bodyshop and took some good pics Quote Link to comment
