Spent hours standing in front of the grinder using the wire wheel to clean and strip the paint off small parts and brackets that were to small to send to the blaster. Note to self, nothing is to small to send to blaster!

Re: What did you do TO or FOR your Datsun today?(Roadsters o
I can relate to that!
However, I think you are prudent in DIY, small bits tend to get lost at some "shops".
Just think, you can one day sit back and tell your grand kids, "I did that!".

Got lucky on the rockers, I think. No rot, just caved in a bit at the rear. It pulled out pretty good so I'm feeling better. Thanks

I installed the driver's side latch and window regulator and fresh chromed front grille and head light trim. I spent a lot of time adjusting the hood-fender gaps. A 68 hood has issues fitting into a 69 body.

Yesterday, busy making a replacement rubber flap to go inside part of my heater box...the flap to deflect heat to feet or 'screen. Also modifying the flap to be a better fit, and be smoother in operation.
1965 Nissan Silvia (CSP311) for total restoration
1978 260Z finally on the road (Rebello 3.2L)
