the next meet is going to be on the weekend of the 23rd as there is a rumour of some Aucklanders being in town. and yes. Swapmeet should be a go. I will probably need a stall to sell some of these car parts I have recently acquired

Good news. Looking forward to taking a gander at it to reminisce.  Assuming it's not as plush as my old one?

it's the poverty model compared to the red one, less chrome trim, bench seat and column change feel free to take it for a burn over the weekend

Which is which? Yours the red one? White one a Ghia?

They are both Ghia's. Mine is the red one, @d.p.n.s owns the white one

I would love to. will have to see closer to the time though

you should just convert it to LD28+T and never open the bonnet again.....

the doors off the parts car were heaps better so they went on. the green doors look a bit funny with the blue interior but meh no rust wins. deleted the mirror mounts off the drivers door too

I pulled the guard off so we had access to the windscreen pillar.  no suprise that the a pillar needed a few patches and the bottom of the guard was full of bog....

a few more progress pics.

Progress, thanks to the amazing @governorsam

one very rust rear passengers door... fixed

I'm working on the 12th in the morning but would be free to help after that

I get on here from time to time. I'm not usually allowed out on school nights though

I think you should just pull it all down and roll with that flakey orange/yellow foam stuff that falls down everywhere at the slightest touch.

lucky for you that sweet new car of yours I picked up today has a saggy hoodlining and it's not even a vn!!!

sweet datto man

Are you taking suggestions for potential future engine swaps or are you happy with the LD28?

If you are taking suggestions - VQ30DET

sticking with the LD28. that was one of the reasons for purchase. plus its already got cert so should be an easy wof once the rust is dealt to

discuss how silly I am taking on another project while all my other cars sit around doing sweet f all

underneath seems solid. so a quick coat of rustkill stuff before the new bits are welded in. The A pillar will need a little more surgery as it has gone right through the inner pillar. this is only the passenger side, the drivers side seems alot better.

next up... every datsun owner will make a post about this at some point in their datsun ownership ..... RUST. as you can see there are a few holes that have been hammer in a bit and filled with bog. becuase this car deserves to be saved all the crap is getting chopped out and replaced with new steel
