Painting that plate with non authentic colors amounts to counterfeiting a plate,

Well, he went from blue to black so...

 

Go big or go home says I.

It’s vinyl wrap. Can easily come off. Would it be legal to wrap it with blue and yellow?

Do you have a photo of them on hand?

Not on hand, but I can snap one.

 

Actually, here's one of the same wheels on my Rover.

Oh cool and the Datsun hub cap pops right on? I’ll def be keeping an eye out for some on sale

Got my Datsun Clarion stereo Blue tooth in. Unfortunately it’s too small for the insert area. Hopefully the stereo install place can make it fit. Looks like this specific stereo goes into the dash. (Would fit perfectly). Unfortunately I have AC vents that I want to restore eventually in that area. BTW these buttons are awkwardly long…

Hadn’t driven the truck in 2 weeks. Had to turn the key between 3-4 times and pressing down on gas pedal to fire up. Realized shortly that the truck was leaking. It smelled like gas and oil so was a little confused. The leak stopped once I turned off the truck and started again. Drove it around for a bit and no leak. Gas and oil levels are good. Did I cause a flood? Oh and found a hole in my Transmission FML.

Here’s the hole.

That hole is normal, I believe it's just a drain.....

My guess is incase of seal failure you dont want the oil trapped with the clutch disc....

 

No idea on the leak, possibly flooded as you stated....

You could see a fuel leak or just smell gas?

 

Loose carb mounting nuts maybe?

[six2ohyea]

Yea, fuel was leaking and it smelled like gas. But the leak stopped after turning off and on again.

Find the leak. It could kill you.

FML.. this guy glued the floor mat. Also looks like there is some rust..  

[six2ohyea]

Also wanted to change the shift boot. Not sure this will work. The base of the boot is significantly thicker than the previous one. 
 

 

 

top is old vs bottom new. Shipped from Z car depot

As long it it makes a good seal, keep out the fumes from underneath.

Expect you'll find rust through up where the cowl and firewall meet - typical of the 620's. Prime reason why the carpets get wet then floor rusts.

Got the speaker spacer vinyl wrapped and kick panels installed.

Sweet!

Some nice work going on up in here. B)

[six2ohyea]

Took most of not all the adhesive from the floor panels. (I went the chemical route) Now I just have some rust and a small hole in the floor. What else should I do to prep the floor? Going to be placing deadening mats and carpet. 
 

[EDM620]

Remove as much rust as you can, wire wheel or whatever. Apply rust inhibitor/paint (POR15) and let dry very thorougly. Consider undercoating the bottom, same prep.

Have you checked the cowl for leaking? Attack that now while interior is stripped.
