Datsun B310 Sedan


Recommended Posts

Bit of as picture less update, but over the weekend i manged a few hours i found more rust in the dash area which i need to fix but life is interrupting me again and the lack of a garage or driveway space to do anything in, so on the hunt for a lockup of some sorts so i can really get into, as we dont have the space for my ccar at work at the moment, picture dump this week though!

Well what a sharn the last post was, The last 5 months a little bit has happened. life got in the way for most of it, but finally managed to get into our own wee place with a decent garage for me to make some serious progress. 

Started stripping the inside of the car back to do rust under the dash and freshen up the inside of it, that then snowballed big time as the further i dug into areas of the car i was finding more wrong with it, as the photos show, bit of a crease in the floor. not to bad to fix, but started finding more rust, overlapping rust repairs coming back,. so decided to just dive in. was hoping to make it to the Datsun nationals at the end of the month, but no chance in that happening now.

Ill be paint stripping the roof and rear guards and as much as possible. motor will be coming out the week along with fuel tank and all other things,  as i will be getting the inside sand blasted along with the engine back so i can get into epoxy so i can begin repairs. 

If anyone knows of a mobile vapor or sand blaster in Christchurch can you point me in the right direction below

Bit of an update, taken the motor and gearbox out, and majority of the stuff in the engine bay is out, fuel tank is out now as well, so she’s a pretty bare shell now. That was all done about a week and half ago 

At this point I haven’t had much time been busy with extra work at home fiberglassing some GTR parts. But did get into a bit of work tonight found a couple of nasties but not as bad as I was expecting 

Will be adding photos when I reach the computer as I can’t upload photos from my phone

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

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
