I guess he's told you all about this one: Be sure to pester him at every opportunity as I do, need to be sure it gets completed in a timely fashion. Yes he told me about this one, I'll be on his case for sure. I haven't heard anything since it was at the blasters which was a while ago now.

NickJ Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Its now at the panelbeaters getting the worst of the rot dealt with, not sure what their exact timeline is but it should be getting close. That pic is post blasting and looking at the others he sent me, its actually in pretty good shape for a Datsun that hasn't moved for 30 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radBMX Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hey Nick, where did you get that rubber for the fuel tank from? I'm having some issues with my car and that might be just the ticket. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google brings up a few on ebay so there should still be a few about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, i'm quite proud of the fan, especially retaining concentration while repeating the same sequence many times over! Only regret that I didn't allow the time to anodise it If you missed this thread, just think how many other build threads are lurking to soak up your spare time..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
