Decided to redo the sun roof patch as I rushed it the first time. Cut it out and rewelded a new piece in.

Brought a stud welding a while ago finally got around to converting the hand piece to take pins and made up a slide hammer from the nose of a rivet gun.

The car had been rust treated from the dealer so scraped out all the body deadener to start working on the rear quarter panels.

Made a new console to join into the skyline console from some 1.6mm aluminium which will be cover with vinyl.

Decided to make a trolley to hold the stud welder and a few hammers and dollies so they're at arms reach while I do the body work.

Had to make one good ignition switch from 3.

Stripped the covers and gave them a satin finish.

Wasn't happy with the catch can/washer bottle, decided to make it a bit lower and raise the bottom to hide the washed pump and boost control valve.

Decided to buy new brake, got some XYZ 355x32 6 pot front and 4 pot rear. It might be a bit of over kit considering the hatch original came out with 13" rims and now is going to have 14" discs.A9X_0178_resize.thumb.JPG.f5afe3b722e09c04fc9cffbaf721cdec.JPG

Have 12mm clearance between the spokes and the caliper and 6.5mm between the inner barrel and the caliper .

Started on the gaps and sort out which is the best nose cone to use, then need to modify the front section of the front flares and front spoiler.

Also gave the engine covers a better polish and fitted some Mines triple flow cam baffles.

Mate, you're really getting stuck into it, well done!  Looking awesome!  I know where to go for panel repairs when I buy another Datsun/Rustsun!

Things must be a bit quiet at Rubicon with all this spare time you have on your hands!?

Keep it up, I bags first test ride for an SAU member!
