No worries. Checkout other peoples resto pics for a guide. New panels on eBay too. Ask Lou about making your 1600 into a 2 litre stroker.

When you put the body back make sure you replace the old rubbers. These are from Melb http://m.hrc-dat.com.au/Datsun-Rubber-Products.html

Re: New Datsun fairlady owner in Australia
On a serious note, i require a soft top for my roadster. Seeming all these parts originate in your part of the world can any of my US compadres give me some input or referrals/links of quality roof supliers. I have the original frame its a bit rusted and beat up but it could be bought back to life. Then i would just need some canvas or alike fabric and a talented trimmer to weave some magic. Other option will be new soft top and frame package. What do you think?

Re: New Datsun fairlady owner in Australia
Hi Chris
I actually purchased a soft top for mine from Glenn Jones, Qld.
He also manufactures fibre glass dash pads.
Might be worth dropping him a massage: -
