Looks like a whole body kit to me. Look under the doors. Go to msa's website and look at body kits. http://www.zcarparts.com

Float not filling
It took me about 3 months to figure out what you did today! That upside down way on the dvd won't work with the needle valves, apparently only the Grose valve with the ball instead of a needle or pin. I sure wish they'd made that clear when I bought my rebuild kit and dvd but it was fun I guess. There's a thread or two on here now, your adding another one. Good work.

How to tell R or L hand cut key?
Not sure about this since it's from Australia but in trying to figure out why they would have left and right key it seems Nissan used two steering lock types. Two different key types?

Checking correct fuel level at Round Top 3 screw SU CARBS Float bowls
You could take advantage of the quarantine time to wrap your head around the famous "equally sh*tty" tune. You'll run on the front 3 cylinders only, then the back 3. To equalize the sh*tty you turn the knobs on bottom getting them to run just barely though at about 600 rpm if I rembered right. Seems like my front one is 3 or about turns down. Rear is 2.5. You'll need a timing light that shows engines rpms to do this precisely. You have the air flow meter right? Can hardly wait! Jajajajaja

COVID-19
I'm curious how the restaurants in China are laid out. I've not seen a mask you can eat with. How do they do it? EDIT: I forgot they're masking up because of pollution I think.?. America will look foolish without health care for everyone after this.

If it was mine I would push it down a bit further. Still looks low in the clear tube to me. If you bend it more towards the float it will raise the fuel in the clear hose putting it very close to perfect. Then when you get your float-syncs you will make it exact. This looks a little too high of a hump to me but you are getting so very close. Good work!

Jack handle refinishing
I've always read chevy orange for the air filters was close enough for a driver, no judges. That handle is the same I believe. Maybe @jfa.series1 knows? He probably bought the real deal from datsunspirit or banzi though knowing his awards. 8^)

Yes you do want to mess up this ramp form. It should look like a speed bump not a ramp. Are there speed bumps in Panama? This is what you want This is what you have

Full flowing fuel is the needle out all the way. The closer the tang to the float, the longer the needle=more fuel. Shortening the needle puts the plunger inside the fuel supply hole= less fuel. So, the closer the tang is to the float the longer the needle can extend. More fuel. The farther away the tang is, like in your photo above, the less the needle can extend. Less fuel.

Frozen Master Cylinder/Booster Damage
I bought new stuff for my 40 plus year old car all off amazon.com. It was around $200 for the booster and masters then I did the whole system, rear drums and shoes, and cylinders, front rotors and pads, then stainless steel short lines to the front and rear I found on ebay. You need good brakes. Edit, without looking at my receipts I'd say I spent $500 total Here's a common problem with that whooshing sound your hearing.

I used a gallon paint can stir stick under the float mounting bracket. They fit good and are soft wood. Slide one under there and push down the tang with your finger. When it looks like this you should be very close. Good luck.

I used small need nosed pliers on the sides of the tang. I'll try and get a picture when I get home. About an hour. Stay "tuned".

saturday night music thread
I must admit the throwback to my 20 years ago self was mainly alcohol. The meanings of my "favorite" songs back then are silly to me know. My funeral song list just changed.

saturday night music thread
I know we all have way different taste in music but I've found music to be the best way for me to stay inside without getting bored. I'm listening to stuff I haven't heard in 20 years. Thank goodness I've saved my old hard drives. My old stereo isn't doing so well though, covered with dust and over heated. Oh well, I need to upgrade.
