Over at z31p.com we have a thread called "What did you do to your Nissan/Datsun today?" or something like that. Just for little miscellaneous trivial stuff like this. I couldn't find any better place for this post so I put it here. I don't mind if it gets moved or deleted.

I didn't put it in paint & body because...well t's not exactly paint & body the way it should be done... /shrug

Typical Datsun stuff...rust patrol:

Oh well it's just minor rust right?

By Datsun standards...

No place for big fingers

I had a big day today. I finally got my headliner installed with the A pillar stuff too--what a big job-I'm sore.

I did that on my first 280zx and my first 300zx. It is a PITA.

Here is my current project: getting rid of some minor rust problems.

I'll post pics of the results soon...if it turns out well :cool:

Last Friday and Saturday was the exhaust system. Sunday was enjoying it.

Monday morning is the first photo, Tuesday night is the next, sunshine would of helped.

Wednesday was tuning and experiencing way more tourque and hp! :D

Thursday the entire evaporative system was repaired, the larger fuel rated hoses were found at the John Deere dealership, 300psi LOL

Friday was wash, dry, wax on wax off, polish & detail. :cool:

Today is my first car show of the season McPherson College, the USA's only accredited 4 year course in automobile restoration.

I tried to convert my evil Production supervisor ( who is a DIE HARD honda guy )

to see the way and the light of **NISSAN** by tagging his CRX with a homemade nissan logo on his hood..while he wasnt looking..

Sigh its not working though...he just wants to work on it more now....:finger:

seafoam in the gas tank, new in line fuel filter after the gas tank and replaced the fuel inlet that the P.O. mangled (for reasons I can not fathom).:stupid:

P.S. and I drove it, it's getting really hard to drive my corolla day to day even though I trust it more.
