Datsunvilles stem cells 2 door Resurrection


Recommended Posts

Had to take a break on the 4 door thing, even though I have been driving my 4 door.

 

Started working on a 2 door. Bought it months ago, thought quick flip, cars in Idaho sell for a little more in Norcal. At least enough to cover expenses of picking the shit box up. I just wish people took better pics when selling their Datsuns.

Some of you might remember it from C/L, Probably should of taken the loss. But I'm a sucker. Figured I would put my new helper on it and if it didn't turn out perfect it would not matter.

After the disassembly and 1st floor pan he moved and had to quit.

 

On a positive note it runs better then most the dimes in my driveway.

 

Looking at a swede paint job new rubber kit, carpet kit complete dash rebuild, get rid of the fucked roll bar, rear seat new headliner, new door cards, coilovers, some much needed body work, burn the fender mirrors, and check out everything make sure there are not any really bad issues

Wanted to get the floors done 1st, not the worst but not the best, 3 full pans and one small patch.

Once you start wire wheeling you find that good floor is just ok.

I usually do 1 floor pan at a time. I never cut all the pans out then get started on welding.

Been waiting to get back to the 68, but figured im this far so why not finish this phase and share. Not a ton of time into this once I got in the mood.

 

Right now it is just me, actually works out pretty well this way.

The body is badddd. However I know a guy that knows a guy. Really could use a right rocker and a right quarter.

 

Everything that you can bolt on looks to be solid, the roof, now the floors are solid. Undecided what I'm going to do with the trunk don't know that I want to get deep enough into it. It has a shallow spare tire well.

People seem to more interested n looks. Figured I'll put my time in to that. Runs great, that's what I don't do so seems like a good candidate for body and paint.

As far as color goes might do a bambo tan swede.

However u never know someone with money may come along and change that.

Definitely going to Todd for headliner, rear seat and dash pad.

Not sure of wheels looking for a complete change from what it was to what is going to be.

Started the inner fenders and most the tierods and ball joints look newer. A set of coilovers with new inserts and T3 camber plates looks like a good idea.

Decided to add new bushings and change out the T/C rod urethane bushing for rubber and urethane. If ya didn't now urethane T/C rods bushing break T/C rods.

Raining badly here so it was all I could do to get it in the shop.

New helper Frank got a lesson in grinding and dent removal and filler work

 

20160305_113840_resized_zpspd82qeuv.jpg

 

Not as bad as it looked with 10 coats of fucked up paint on it

20160305_150811_resized_zpsnqaanljj.jpg

 

Took 90% of the old filler paint off with a Dewalt 7inch electric grinder, then cleaned that up with 5 inch air grinder. The whole booth had a confetti of paint dust everywhere.

Booth is narrow but if you look close you can see the difference with the 7inch ad the air grinders. the front portion has been air grinder

Next step, Dav dropped by so I put him to work.

 

Dav has a NL320 at the shop so he helps out to store his truck and use the shop to work on his truck, how exciting.

 

This trunk has bugged me since day one and has rust in the bottom area, so figured we would remove it.

Can't wait to finish that left side, that low spot is still bugging me. At least I made it home this time with mostly no incident. I did find out I need to do floor pans more than I originally thought, somewhere outside Auburn I hit a deep assed puddle and got my balls flooded with icewater, no rogue deer though.

No internet at home, I had a plan with a company and it was limited. Sent them all there shit back they charged me $500. Because where I live it's always a dish thing and they kinda fuck ya when you close your account early. The monthly was $80, and very limited.
