thanks mate it's getting there

So keen to see the suspension work happen! Can't wait ants!

me too Zac. However after speaking with Gary aka sydneykid it will be a nice package for sure. But it ain't cheap so I'm in saving mode FTM but in a few weeks we will see some suspension drool

[Ants]

Today was a big day and got lots done.

First up the rear wheel arch got some TLC

smoothed out all the dodgy spot welds

then I filled in the gaps with some selleys autofix to ensure no rust decides to set in

pretty handy stuff

Then preparation time.

I wiped the wheel arch with some prep wash to remove any dirt and grease

[Ants]

Then more preparation work

Got my big trusty making tape out and.....

neatly taped around the wheel and inside the wheel arch as well

Then I attached some newspaper to protect the inside from any unwanted paint spatters. I also covered the rear brakes with an old work shirt that I no longer use

Now we are ready for painting

I acquired this paint can from super cheap and is the recommended paint for Nissan between 1984 onwards

Nissan crystal white yeah

[Ants]

Let the painting commence!

First coat done

Second coat

Third coat done

Then I waited for it too dry and applied a clear coat on it

All done

[Ants]

From this

to this

Next step was to get RHS N1 side-skirt back on

Photo of corrected bodywork without side-skirt just for the hell of it

I then gave the side skirt a quick wipe down from all the dust it had gathered the past few months and then applied som Sikaflex

Next I gently made sure I put the side skirt back to where it belongs

On the car

Again I used clamps to ensure the side skirt sits flush against the car

The excess Sikaflex will eventually just be peeled of after it's dried

Like so

The car is finally starting to come back together

[Ants]

I also thought I would take the opportunity to follow a trend happening with some builds FTM

and detail the inner door cards with

CARBON VINYL WRAP!

Do first up

Clean you're door card as it has collected a fair bit of dust over its time

Then unscrew the back of the inner door pocket

Make sure you don't remove the factory glue at the bottom of the inner door pocket card

I got hold of some 3M carbon vinyl wrap from eBay for about $36 but you.can get it from super cheap about the same price the length I got it for

Then just measure and apply carefully

You do not need to cover the entire infer door card as the edges are not visible with the inner door card

I also wrapped the side open edge for more strength but is not mandatory

Then just bolt everything back up and admire you're work

That's it for now.....more to follow soon

[gtr judd]

Lookin good mate, seeing how good yours has come up is encouraging me to clean mine up, so thanks

Also another door card win. Definitely a cool craze happening ATM, I will be doing this too lol

[shaunus]

The CF vinyl makes a massive difference! Really cleans up those old door cards. Good work!
