1984 720 help

[Jorge83]

Hi all, I am in need of help on a faster method to restoring the paint job on my 720.  It's an 1984 720 4x4.  Engine had a crack in it so I had friend of the family install a slightly used one for 80 bucks.  Now it runs BUT the paint job underneath it had tons of rust.  Once I removed majority of the paint now I'm stuck with all the little bits that wont sand off nor budge from the frame.  Any advice on a faster way to remove it.  The chemical method sucked and made things worse.

Grinder with flap wheel on it.

 

Drill with a steel wire brush wheel in it.

 

Sand blaster.

 

Any of those should destroy anything remaining.

Are you asking about the left over paint on your new engine?

 

 

If it runs, rock it. Enjoy your Datsun.

Close the hood and say "I'm not telling what's under the hood!"

did my best.....I just returned majority of what I bought and said eff it.  My priority are the shocks, front end, radio, speakers, seats now.   The bed I think i can just sand down and just apply truck bed coating.

Corroseal http://www.homedepot.com/p/Corroseal-Rust-Converter-Primer-82320/202960538 when used as a primer really slows the rust everpresent in our 720s. Cost effective, not terribly toxic, and works better than phosphoric or muriatic acid as it's a primer as well. Just wire brush, mask and shoot it on. Will also smooth out the surface some.
