orangie Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm trying out this stuff I found on the internet to recover the dash. It's called Styrospray 1000. It's a liquid plastic used to cover foam. It dries fairly stiff so I don't know how resistent it will be to being banged. After the first coating I wished I had used an airless spray gun instead of brushing it on. It does some self leveling, but not enough to make me happy. Part of it was I made it to thick, but that's kind of how it goes, trying stuff out for the first time. The good news is it can be sanded smooth so I have more sanding to do before I touch up the edges. I'll post picture when I get a chance. After I get it smoother enough I plan to use plasti-dip paint to give it some texture. 4 Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 haha. I am not gonna deny that I actually spent 100 with shipping. It is such a rare find that I justified it. Im not regretting it now that its looking all purty. Whoa. Wait.... WHAT?! $100 for a delete plate?! That's just absolutely insane. I would have just given you one of my spares........ 2 Quote Link to comment

Brandana Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Trying to get to the bottom float screw to touch up the float level itself and the line on the glass, I pushed down one of my points in the distributor which turned out to be my problem not starting. 2 Quote Link to comment

DatsunHiLife Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Stuff on ebay has been going crazy. I cracked beat bezel went for $127 when theres a guy like me with the only king cab on an island in the middle of the pacific. no junk yards and I am more likely to get bit by a shark than find 620 parts. I tend to crack out. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. :w00t: 1 Quote Link to comment

ElGalloNegro Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 put some green LEDs in my dash (they look to bright in this pic but they are perfect) and upgraded my alternator to a 140A internally regulated one from Datsunstore.com No more dimming lights and my two 10in subwoofers aren't robbing my electricity. where did you get a hub that fits your Datsun? I have been looking to purchase one, thanks 2 Quote Link to comment

ownTer Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 where did you get a hub that fits your Datsun? I have been looking to purchase one, thanks Any parts store will be able to grab you one. Maybe not the one you want. Pretty sure mine was for a 720. 1 Quote Link to comment
