what size wheel spacers are you using front and back? also are the tires the same on the front and back?

looks great!

Front are 19 and back 25 millimeters.

Both the front and the back tires are the size measuring 215-40-17

Are there any updates to your build? I would love to see how the car looks now

Your sanding board looks a bit too small for those big straight panels. Is the red rubber one the longest one you have?

I think is the first 2+2 that I like. I wonder if it would look good if you were able to hide the b pillar somehow. Amazing work. Keep up the progress

I have to agree, never felt any love for the lines of a 2+2 until now. I actually like the look of the roof line and rear quarter window opening. Nice project!

Check this out. I'd take a 2+2 like this

Hi guys,

I has been more then a year after my last post. Been very busy on the car, new work etc.

I have a lot of topics i have to update on several forums and was more building the car then update topics.

I guess i have forgotten this forum a bit :stupid:

So there has a lot to be update so i'll start:

The car is since october 2012 back from the painter. He sanded the complete car en painted the whole car QM1 white from the nissan skyline.

After that i started to build the car up with al the new parts i collected and all the old parts that have been sandblasted en repainted.

The engine was also cleaned and painted, but thats the only thing that has been done on the engine. Engine itself has been left in the same condition before i started this project. Runs smooth, everything has been adjusted and had i big service with all new gaskets, fluids and filters.

The car was at the painter from the end of july until the end of october. Meanwhile i prepared a lot of stuff. cleaned it en repainted it.

The first saturday of 2013 it has started since more then a year. And i started within 5 seconds after the carburators gained fuel. We should call that old reliability or Datsun power

I had some cooling leaks which has to be repaird and i concluded my 38 year old radiator had give it up. Time for a new aluminium.

I am now finishing the complete wiring which was not complete or working fine. I stripped the whole cable loom, repaired the wiring, put some new isolating tape around it and put some "snake skin "around the whole loom.

That what i have done the last year in al small message.

Told enough.

Picture warning:bulb:
