Hi everybody!
Thanks a lot for yor feed-back. I’ve got some news and that’s why I’m here again.
Last Tuesday I went to Mr.vitorino shop and started do dismantle the Z…honestly I thought it was a dificult task, but it wasn’t…well, only in some little details.
The ca ris in excellent shape as photos will show…I guess this car was restored or deep painted some years ago.
Next week We’ll have at least one door rebuilt, below the doors and inside need some intervention.
Here are some photos…
Rear window acquisition…the car has the horizontal defrost lines and aren’t the correct…I found one vertical and job done…a few years ago I bought one in the USA and came broken…never bought or find anoter one..they are getting rare this days!!!
The beggining…
Door parts ready for the treatment…Nickel plating
Rear floor…not bad!!! I got scared, but fortunately the brown zone is glue…no rust…
Door ready for Mr.Vitorino!
Original floor carpet…but has to be removed!!!
Rear luggage accomodation in excelente shape
And now the surprise…the original blue…It can only be seen on some detailed parts..this is one!
Replacemente tyre floor…not bad…no rust…
The seats will be rédone, but I will only take care of the parts that are completely off…
No plastic cover…but I have 2 here…offered by a mate!!!
Passenger side floor…the usual…46 years and some bad treatment…the reason…the jack tool…but Mr.vitorino said that’s a part to be redone…
Drivers side floor…the usual again…but this one has no concerns…ist’s 75% good…a little intevention. By the end we will apply some Soundproofing board to avoid rust and noise.
My helper keeping all the bolts in place!
Under the plate no surprises!!!!
Datsun logo temporarily off…
In my opinion this s the exact moment to restore the car…it has some details that need intervention, and now that he has no rust holes and unrestorable parts the process will be much easier.
Hope you like it…next week some more news!!!
Regards
