okay okay, ill think about it ;) - but lets see if its next after all, because today i found a 1963 combi van for sale in DK and my girlfriend was looking for a pre '76 van. so if she wants it and if its original and in good shape, then we will make it first :)

Thanks ! they are really nice quality. ( 7.9" ) 

 

I'm going with force racing splits (10x6.25") but i don't like the force racing centers that much, so my uncle and i are going to make some copy of the old spectrum centres to replace them with :) - its gonna be cool ! :)

very nice point ! :) next step is getting it to the sand blaster, and get it blasted in the small corners that i can't reach manually.  and the blaster also going to metalize
 (don't know if its the right word in english?) its a sink based matal coat, so i can't rust. 

 

after all that, then I'm sealing it my self... :)

started on the RH door today and got a little surprise.........

 

uuuups. 3 unexpected holes, and they are certainly not from corrosion.....

i think some one tried to steal it once with a screw driver.... ?

Great fabrication skills Nino. I hope I get half as good. Looking forward to seeing you're progress :)

Nice work, it's a milestone when you have a rust free shell I have bought the same brake setup for mine and have been advised to let them cool off before parking it up for long periods to prevent the pistons sticking

 

Nice S13 you have there, my S13 is a daily and I love it but my restored S14a is still waiting to be used

Thanks ! yes it really is, now i can sleep at night again haha :) - ohh thank you for the advise, but i hope that they can stop the car 

 

again thanks, i really love it, but I'm trying to do a PX with a 1974 datsun 260z.

ohh yes i remember seeing it in your thread, really good looking for a daily, but i hated the CA engine, so i swap'd it to a zenki s14 engine.. amazing machine ! :) 

and youre s14 was looking very nice and clean in the bay :)

Soo now i finish'd off the doors and boot lid. also loaded it on the trailer so its ready for the blaster and metallising :) 

 

 

But I'm not sure if i am all happy with rep. of the door.

 

Both doors ready 

 

i had to close some holes in the boot lid where some old danish badge has been placed.

but i discoverd that it had a few dents under the filler, so I'm thinking about swapping it for another one.

 

But other then that the shell is going for blaster and metallising on monday 

 

all for now. hope you enjoy and have a great weekend ! :) 

[domdee]

taht shell is looking good. what is metallising?
