datsunfish Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 What's that wrinkling on the core support and right strut tower? :unsure: I painted the engine bay first and the color was wrong so when we layed paint over the bad coat it freaked out in a few spots. Extra work,hooray. The rest was all sealed primer when it got shot so it came out tits. Quote Link to comment

datsunfish Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Bleah, that sucks. Its cool since its in the engine bay ;) easy fix. I aint one to get mad over critiquing the work so whatever. I assume your just giving me crap cauce I zinged ya with the orange comment. The work is open to all for criticizm and Im not worried since Kevin came out and saw it and he seems satisfied.

Midwest S30 kid Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hey a fellow fairlady guy.. Meybe you could help me need to find turn signals, they are diffrent than 240z. when I bought the car he couldn't find them along with the valance pieces Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Aaah, I missed these pictures! Its looking GREAT. :D My front turn signals were orange and appear to be the same 240Z style. The rear are amber vs red for the 240Z. What are you looking for, the clear ones? If so I don't think those are really factory but more of a aftermarket switch out. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Slammed out some work on the headlight buckets,aprons and cowl today. Should have some pics of them all primered tomorrow. Hope to be done by thursday...all done,but we'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 All done? :D goodness! I just barely started on the engine this week Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Well,even thursday of this week was a misjudgement. As usual,but things are going great. Mirror mounts drilled,test fit em and put em back in the box. All the bolt on pieces are at final prime stage and almost ready to paint. That will mean no more body work just assembly and detail. Sorry no recent pics. I will get some tomorrow for sure. No actual predicted finish date but it will be soon,very soon. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Good work Datsunfish. Cant wait for the pix. Quote Link to comment
freb_mc Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 My front turn signals were orange and appear to be the same 240Z style. The rear are amber vs red for the 240Z. What are you looking for, the clear ones? If so I don't think those are really factory but more of a aftermarket switch out. they look the same in appearance, but they have a dual light set up in them, as in 2 bulbs, 2 sockets set up. the regular 240 lights only use on bulb, i helped him wire the 240 lights for now but it would be nice to see some originals, also the dash is cracked any suggestions? can't find a cap for a rhd?! and his left tail light has a crack in the amber part of it @$&*@#$%^!!!!! anyone repair those to keep em fairlady? or have a replacement one? ps in know all this because his blue fairlady is sitting in my garage, can't beleive that lucky ass found one in missouri and sorry for the thread jack, the paint job looks beautiful!! love the color Quote Link to comment
