So I have been quiet on the datsun updates, as most of the work of late has been pull bits and pieces of the car and starting on exploring the rust situation, and to be honest its not that bad compared to most 240k's.

Last week I received a host of goodies I had ordered from Streeter

Green sanyo fan! cause summer is coming! It is 24v so need to get a convertor, but willl be totally worthwhile. Although I am considering selling as there is little room for it in the k.

Friend also got back from Japan and picked up a ken & mary sticker for me. One of many awesome presents he bought back for me, although this is the only datsun specific.

Also had a ebay care package arrive with a tonne of white led's as I could not see the damn dash cluster at night.

Another package from Jesse turned up today, so will have more silly purchase updates in coming days.

Time to learn to weld..

IMG_5295.jpg

So I have borrowed Jakes welder thanks buddy.. I would like to say I have never welded before and I am sure that is obvious to anyone who has in the below pics, but meh gotta learn somewhere.

Process goes

Sanded back and cut out any questionable bits

IMG_5020.jpg

Make up patch panel

IMG_5030.jpg

Tack Weld in (I didnt know what I w)

IMG_5037.jpg

IMG_5038.jpg

Grind back to flat figure out what holes if any need more

IMG_5164.jpg

By far the worst sections of rust on this car have been behind rear wheels in boot arches..

IMG_3363.jpg

IMG_4767.jpg

Dont think I have any pics of the inner skin holes but you get the idea with where the fresh metal is.. Making this shaped patch panels took sooo lonng all curved and cut to perfection.. This pic was mid way through welding in.

IMG_5291.jpg

Was also a number of pin holes to fill with weld to as shown here with a half way through pic

IMG_5039.jpg

Grinded it back

IMG_5292.jpg

Then did the 3 stage por15 rust prevention process and cut up and started to instal rear outter skin patch panel

No holes or bad rust in the boot so ground whole boot back to bare metal and POR15'd the boot

Will build a false mdf floor across the boot floor way later

Anyway enough of that crap

Under floor pan, where alot of dattos rust

IMG_4852.jpg

Started paint scraping and BOOM new car underneath

IMG_4853.jpg

Must have been a very good paint protection!

Random Pic

IMG_5065.jpg

O yeh I bought a cage too and mocked it up in car

IMG_4749.jpg

Has been lots of datsun parts hunting adventures but will update that and the progress on doors at a later stage!

Plan is to go hard across the Xmas holidays..

Still have no idea what color to paint the car... Will take suggestions?

Anyone in melbourne want to catch up one day over the xmas holidays I will be at the shop in ferntree gully the whole time working on the Datsun.

Keep it original colour mate, seriously...!

Here's a couple of pics of mine below, I believe your mate Charlie bought extractors from me a while back.

I kept mine original colour, I think it looks great, a lot of people are changing to modern colours on older cars, it's always good to see an old car in it's factory spec paint colour.

My car isn't ready at the moment, but you're welcome to pop in & check it out...

Engine almost wired up, hoping to start in the next few days.

Yeh currently working on a few different options for suspension forback of the K, need the car on the road so I can do some development work to see if the bright ideas will pay off.

Charlie is my buddy, might take you up on that offer in the early weeks of Jan!

I hate new paint on old cars too, but after looking threw pics of these cars in Japan, some new colours work.

I am not keen on painting the original green that is in the engine bay, and the current green on all the panels looks good but Im not a fan of green, considering a light gun metal gray, with dark gun metal grille and tail light garnish.
