tyronj Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yea i have come to the conclusion that these are all fucked with rust - a mate of mine mentioned the idea of fibreglass but i had a 73 colt with glass guards and it was a cock as they cracked way easy - still worth considering though, Cheers.

Snoozin Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just caught up on it too. Good shit, in the Z stakes these are my second choice in terms of awesome, beaten only of course by S30 2 seaters. I feel like such a pussy getting all gutted with my comparitively super-minor amount of rot in the Ced - nothing like seeing someone else tackling a super rust-fucked Datsun to put it all into perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tele29 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well done on the rust, really good to see you didn't give up and just kept chipping away at it. Looking forward to seeing how it looks after paint, are you going to stick with the factory colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 When I read the first few posts in your thread, I thought you must be mad. As I progressed through it... I still think you're mad hahaha.As some others have said, your persistence is inspiring, I'd have shat my pants seeing that much rust. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out! Love Z cars so much.
