What did you do TO or FOR your Datsun today?(Roadsters only)

Looks great! Which carpet kit is that?

@Linda- I confess, on the console all I did was clean and paint the metal parts. The console was in really bad shape, with chunks of vinyl and foam missing. I got an initial quote from Just Dashes -- $450-600 depending on the actual condition. Crazy. So instead took it to my upholstery shop who patched up the missing chunks, made a new lid, and stretched new vinyl over all for $150.

@SPL310 - That's Dean's kit. Packages say made by Distinctive Industries.

This weekend I:
Cleaned up my wiring for the electric fan. It was a mess from the PO. It looked so good mg GF even noticed it.
* fixed my passenger door not being able to open from the outside
* attempted to install my Mercedes K&N filter but my idea failed for extending the mounting rods. Need some new ideas.
* added a 30 amp fuse inline with my alternator.
* installed the cowl hose, used an Armor-All type spray on it to make it real slippery
* removed the heater core I got from Leigh Brooks. I want to have it clean and tested. Thanks Leigh!
* installed the hand throttle and replaced it's cable
* replaced the throttle cable
* rebalanced my carbs

re k&n filter - get some tubing from truevalue and tap it perhaps (if I understand what you are trying to achieve)

spent a good chunk of the day on Saturday claybarring.

Here's half the hood done to show how bad the oxidation/overspray/whatever it was to make it feel like matte paper.



came out nice and smooth...and feels like car paint again!

Crazy difference - how are your hands feeling?

[RCMike]

Seriously, that's like a new car!

Nice work!

[gokiburix]

[gokiburix]

Here's the entire car clay barred, cleaned , and waxed ... ready to go out to dinner

[gokiburix]

Seriously, that's like a new car!

THANK YOU!

[gokiburix]

Drained the year old gas out of the tank (and put it in my S10), blew out the lines with compressed air, and left the system wide open to air out.

prepped the backing plate for rust proofing

prayed my offered help can come help drop the motor in saturday

drank a beer
