Gensaiken Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 damn, i'm glad this car is in the hands of people who can save it. If anyone other than some one who knew datsuns and had gotten it it'd be crushed by now. I'm looking forward to more shots. :D Quote Link to comment

datsunfish Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Not sure if I will make it out that way this week since I am leaving for vacation on saturday. We spent most of the time on sunday removing all the bolts that broke off during teardown. Then we hit up on the cancer. The next step is rebuilding all the rotten areas. There is at least the sides of the floors and some large pieces left to tag onto so it should go fairly well. Keep checkin back for more pics and updates. Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Geez, if you call that "some cancer," I'd hate to see what you call a lot of cancer. :eek: Quote Link to comment
BACKWOODS DAVE Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 are you going to put new floors in it or try and save the old ones. And in on one of the pics It looked like short people had added some brackets for the front seat mount and redrilled the rear mount to move the seat forward. I could be seeing things but I dont recall seeing those brackets on my Z. Anyway looks like you guys are all over it, so good luck you might need it. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 maybe those extra brackets are a factory option.... ;) for Asians! lol :D Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 the Kittah mekanic needs to go get recertified if he thinks that bad boy is going to the scrapyard Quote Link to comment
