@Yarb Made a little progress today. I got the reverse lights fixed with the help of Yarb and my little helper was in town too. Yarb sent me a new switch he had. It's longer than the one I ordered Yarb, do you know the part number for that switch?

It's tough to order things from overseas due to the recent tariff changes. Many postal services will not post to the US currently. As solution is being worked on...

It should be 36psi with the car not running! It should drop at idle based on manifold vacuum

I agree with Namerow that there will be extensive welding required. To answer the original question: If the doors seem to fit well with decent gaps, i would weld a tube on the inside of the car down low on the door opening. Remove all the drivetrain and any other dead weight. Then replace the rockers first. Inners and outers as needed. Be sure to use the doors to ckeck fit and door gaps before welding it all up. Then do the floors next. After the rockers are done, your temporary door brace can be removed. If the doors don't fit well, the body will need to be manipulated or jacked up until they do and then weld in your temporary bracing

I love that beetle too. I've got one that I hope looks like that one day...

Yes, silver is a tough color

Was curious because I'm gonna try my hand at that at some point.

Tempter!! I would have to drag it...

I wondered that too but don't really want to be the one to check it out

Very nice! Did you cover them?

So I tinkered with the flasher relays some more. I had a 3 prong one that required a ground. I couldn't get it to work no matter how I wired it at the bench. The two prong works fine with an LED bulb at the bench off the jump box. So I tried it in the car on both the turns and the hazards. With no relay in place I basically have battery voltage coming to the relay. When I plug it up and try to use it the voltage across (? I don't believe this was to ground...) the relay drops to less than 8 volts in both locations. So I am assuming neither the LED's or the electronic flasher will work at the low voltage??? Where to from here? @SteveJ others?

I agree, that seems cheap...

Harmon brakes in GA can probably handle your booster... The reaction disc is the little rubber disc on the end of the chrome pushrod. Im not sure the ZX's had it?

Where are you located? It can be difficult to find someone to paint an old datsun. Better now that the values have risen but tough to avoid paint jail. Where your car is stuck in a shop for a year or more. If I were looking for a painter, I would ask my local automotive paint shop. The jobbers who supply paint shops with materials. Ask when there aren't other customers around! I ended up painting my own because I couldn't find anybody reasonable to paint. It's been a long road with mixed results... I have no idea what current prices are for full paint. The rust needs to be dealt with for sure! I'm sure there is more there than the little bubbles. Take the glass out for the respray and strip as much as possible for improved results.

I understand "not supposed to be on the road". Where I live, I routinely take my unfinished cars around the block to help get them sorted. It's never been a problem but some areas aren't as flexible...
