Datsmekk Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hello Hello! :D Bought my first car that is a Datsun 120Y 77' 4 Doors, got it for 11 days ago (09.12.16) :w00t: And i am gonna try making a project out of it, and get rid of all the rust and style it up and get it ready for the (EU Control) something we have here in Norway! I am not a expert on this so i'll love to get tips and ideas to this project! :D We drove it from my hometown (Bergen) to my cottage/cabin (75.0 km) Where i have a garage where i can have it and fix it up! Here is some picture of the small trip and everything! :thumbup: First picture taken, on the parking lot at my home when we got the car! :thumbup: First stop (Filling gas) Always great to have :lol: And then we drove a little more then we find out we needed Dog food for some reason :/ so just a little break! took some picture of the Datsun (Of course) :lol: And yes it is Automatic :D maybe building to manual some times?! :confused: Wasn't really clean when we got the car as you can see :sweat: And after One and a half hour we were finally there! :D not the best garage but better then nothing for now i guess :D get some more space later! Hope i can get some ideas and tips and interested people here :D Quote Link to comment

TSKB310 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Damn, that interior is clean! I like how the aftermarket stereo is setup on the passenger side instead of replacing the original. (Maybe relocate it to the glove box?) 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes the interior is pretty clean for being 1977 and its original! :D Looks almost new to me haha, and yes it came with the Stereo something i really liked so i can listen to music :D and yes maybe i should do that one time?! :D then the car looks maybe a little more clean :D Quote Link to comment

Datsmekk Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (12.01.17 +) Howdy, Little update. Since i dont have the car here at my home but on my cabin as i said where i have a ok garage to do something in, haven't done so much but have started! jacked the car up, and starting take things apart B) (Sorry for spelling things wrong if so :sweat: :P) Started taking out seats and removing stuff inside car to get a better look at the floor and rust etc.. Removing some of the Soundproof or whatever it is to get a better look on whats under and around. Rust hole, need welding and stuff here. :( Looks like they tried to hide the rust or so it looks better, Not that easy to take off actually, rust on screws etc.. inside :no: And also the right side, Even harder to take off because rust on screws and nothing was done good enough! :no: Rust on side panel? idk what you call it :P looks bad from outside but nothing inside! idk maybe i am wrong haha! :sweat: :( :no: Im glad that i got some parts for this that i can use, :D :thumbup: so now i need to learn me welding :hmm: :sweat: No rust on those doors that i'll maybe use, New front side panels :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment

Datsmekk Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Nice progress :)Like the pics ! :)Did u use dry ice to knock off the soundproofing ? It loosens alot easier from the floor if you cool it down, won't be that "sticky" ... Just a small tip :) Haha thanks! :D I did not use that, i saw you did and maybe I should have done that haha :lol: will try that next time! Quote Link to comment
