Yes but this is a full on resto. Very little expensive spared on it over the past few years. Still a lot of small things to buy.

I have 15-20k in parts alone sitting on a shelf in boxes. All new.

Show us yours.

Ordered some more interior trim today. This is another 4 figure sum in NOS parts.

Nissan still make the interior panels on demand. Good for now so I am getting a set before They go NLA.

Which bits?

Door and rear panels. I have a decent secondhand set here as well. $2.3k for all 4 items. Door panels are fully dressed and ready to fit.

Small hardware is SUPPOSED to be with them. Unsure at this point. Going to replace the hinges as well. Yet to check those.

Once these land I am going to do more internal trim. I have most of this already but need a few more bits still.

One thing I still need to check is the boot seal and its availability .

Build looks amazing, can't wait to see this finished.

I haven't read every page so I'm sorry if its already been asked, but what are your plans for the car once finished? Are you doing a basic full resto or are you adding performance bits along the way?

It is for my daughter, car is a resto with some changes. Engine will get a freshen up and a flex fuel conversion . Car will be plenty quick in stock form.

trim stuff arrived a few days back. ordered a new set of front indicators for it locally on friday. should be here in a few days.

spoke to CDR paint and panel (local club sponsor) about reassembling the body. roughly $11k to do it. I 'm not holding them to it as there is a fair bit to do that they did not see from the images. waiting on a few things to fall in place at the shop before I commit to that amount of money.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
