The car has now had all the major parts underneath taken off it. There are no real pictures of it, but feel free to watch the YouTube video my mate made for me to see it being stripped.
Whilst that was being done, I ordered a roll over jig from Ade Foreman. Other guys on here have seem to have some good words to say about it, so that's the one I went with. Just got to try and work out how to attach it to the chassis. My rear end has been fully smoothed by the PO so that will take some fab work I think... If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
We are a little nervous about the strength of the car when putting it on the jig, so we are going to fabricate some bars to sit across the door openings...
The strip down revealed another small rust spot... on the RH side dogleg. Hopefully it isn't too bad and easily repaired. Looks like it MAY have been repaired in the past.. I'm sure blasting will reveal all.
The floor pans need replacing. They are horrid! Always nice when the car is imported and they use a fork lift to get the car out.
The back end inside looks to be in pretty good shape! Thank goodness.
The windscreen was the bit we were most nervous about, bit it came out a dream! PHEW!!
My friends Garage is looking rather full of parts from the Datsun right now. Huge thanks to him for storing them!
