the510keeper Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 once this coupe was gutted and stripped I did the rust repair to the engine bay and radiator support Then off to Medford to the metal guy. Needed rockers, floors, quarters, rear quarters, and tailpanel. Doner form another car 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Randy is correct this bird is a lot further a long, just hadn't made a build, still playing catch up with life, business and Datsuns. All of this work started in September 2014 4 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Got the Coupe blasted while in Medford, Then on the way home, California got its first rain. Flash rust wasn't bad. Victory went through and cleaned up rusty areas with the blaster at the shop. Check out that smile Seam seal dip rails, and other areas First quarter in primer 6 Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Some other older pics I didn't have in my collection of pics After blasting complete car this little coupieeee needed seam sealed and Zero rust brushed and rolled. Using Zero Rust now, Chassis saver only wanted to stick to heavy rusted metals. Cleaning and blasting suspension parts She is not smiling as if she was playing at the beach in the sand Prepping more stuff Pretty Eddie came over and helped install the dash Vic's Dad prepping 280zx struts for shortening and coilover set up 5 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 +1 for zero rust. I heard about this stuff from Scooter. It can take a while to harden if you put it on too thick. Not a big deal though.. and a bargain when compared to POR15. VVV 3 Quote Link to comment
