And I have next week off to get on with my garden and some Datsun...

I wasn’t happy with how the raptor tint had dulled down after a couple of weeks so i scotched it all and repainted the underside along with prepping the engine bay and painting. Now I can finally drop the car down to prep the roof and prime the 1/4’s/rear end.

Dan, what are those 'plates' for either side of the nose of the diff, the ones with 3 holes in?

And after a quick DA on a door I was a little uncertain about... I’m now after a rust/filler free RH door. Anyone have one?

Managed to find a door.... rust free and looks almost new old stock...

Started to look at the bonnet but that was also a bit naff..I repaired it but wasn't happy and managed to find another off of Samuri Kev (nice chap, had no idea who I was meeting till I got to his house and he showed me his cars...)

The car is now ready for one last primer coat before being 400'd and wet and dryed for paint... Hopefully be ready by the end of the month and I'll try take some more photos to update!

Stripped the bonnet from Kevin but thats worse than my other so I’ll be repairing my current one! Got the final primer coat on the body so can hopefully get it 400’d and wet and dryed next weekend.
