  1. Sorry for the delayed photos really seem to have a hard time getting them on here after i resize them hahah
  2. These pictures are a little far apart in progress as they might show, between the few months over winter i spent the time collecting and buying parts i manage to source myself a 5speed gear box, and pretty much all suspension bushes, brakes, wheel bearings, etc. as well as collecting parts to replace on the motor gaskets and filters, leads etc. Well saving and buying those parts i started to strip the car down finding rust and dents and a lot of bog. which meant my list of things i needed to buy. i started hunting for body panels that were in better nick then mine or at least honest and not buried in bog and layers of paint. i was very luck and grateful for Jesse who wrecks a lot of these and i manged to get 80% of all my parts from him and depleting his stock,
  3. Yeah man have made it hard to find some good bits lucky to have some good contacts for parts not far from home so that helps a lot ive been pretty lucky
  4. Next step in the adventure was once i got it to my lock up safe and sound was to get it running i was told the motor was good, when viewing everything turned over fine. the motor was a buying point for me as it has everything id want in my sunny already there. i had been told it had a little bit of head work done and a cam as well apart from all the bolt ons. I checked all the fluids gave it some fresh gas and a good battery and it started up first pop with a couple of pumps of gas. No gear box oil or gear shifter so no drives but runs good happy as. I also changed the wheels as the 15s were my style managed to score some 13inch Hotwires wrapped in toyo proxes for $1000,
  5. For all the yarns and questions about rusty datsuns
  6. This is my Sunny, i bought this about December. 2021, over the last 2 years ive been working on restoring in what was meant to be a quick patch and paint has blown right out. Ive been hording/collection parts to help me get the car where i want it to be, Ill add the progress ive made from the last 2 years over the coming weeks up until where i am now . These photos ive got attached of how and where i got the car and then engine bay as well.
  7. Josh, I can recommend trying baslac through RA Johnson. Flows out so good the 2k done a few jobs at home with it and rate, and if they won't help once I'm back at work I could probably sort you out through work as well
  8. Cheers for the advice about the photos! I'll be sending a lot more though now!
  9. For some reason all my photos are to big and wont work ffs.
  10. Now the last two days have been rather eventful getting a fair bit done, ive unpicked both fronts from the datsuns. the gold front lower radiator support was rooted! someone had just patched right over the top of all the rust, and its had a wee prang on right front which ill give a wee tug to pull it closer to its measurement its about 4-5mm out. ive also removed the battery tray as thatll be in the boot. but heres what ive achieved so far on the two days. ill have to add the photos in another post because i can only fit 2 in for some reason
  11. Well, dig this post up. After my last post i kept digging in the white shell and i found some more horrible work. disappointed to say the least i had been ripped hard with this shell, considering its last warrant was a green sticker warrant, was not happy. so i considered my options. start over and save for another datsun or try find another body, i found another body it wasn't the best but it was honest i could see everything done to it and where the rust was. so i went to see Jesse to pick the shell up. bought it back and had a good look around. still down about the white shell i haven't done much thought about giving up with it and buying a complete car, so i tucked it away and through my self into some work from home, with hail damage cars and a drift car ive been doing a full panel and paint on. and this lockdown has given me some time and motivation to actually do something, Anyway heres some photos of the white shell. theres more but photos are a pain to upload, bu those are the worst of it
  12. Just a quick wee update, finished all the other side jobs i had going on, still chipping away there will be a photo dump of the progress made and the horrors that follows.....
