wheee! Posted March 16, 2017 Share #373 Posted March 16, 2017 Pfff. Look at that shoddy paint matching. Hood looks like bare metal and those scoops are obviously photoshopped ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drop my car off to you on Friday. I have some rust bubbles on the rear hatch deck, and could use a small patch in the driver's foot well. I'd hate to see you having any free time to relax, Chris All kidding aside, I really can't wait to see how the car looks when you get it back!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your fenders look to be in in a lot better shape than mine, I'm hoping Jody can work his magic and salvage the ones I have cause they are getting very hard to find.

wheee! Posted March 16, 2017 Share #377 Posted March 16, 2017 The drivers side is a NOS OEM from the local Nissan dealer. They are still available for now... restamps from who knows when but better than the fibreglas piece I had from the PO. I am seriously considering getting the matching one for the passenger side. It's a little rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to move all the kibbles and bits around so I could move the shell under the downdraft fan for the primer coat application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grannyknot Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share #382 Posted March 18, 2017 Well, Jody has her now and he says he'll have the paint done and ready to return in a month! With any luck I'll be driving it by the end of July. I'm getting the shop cleaned up and started making a list of the correct order of assembly so I don't have to go back re do things or remove something I have already installed. If anyone has any corrections or add ons please mention them. Exterior, fuel & brake lines, parking brake cable, gas tank, straps and hoses, differential, hangers and A arms, rear suspension, front suspension, engine/transmission, driveshaft, front and rear brakes, brake and clutch masters, exhaust system, front air dam, emblems, wheels, swaybars, lower to the ground and torque all suspension nuts. Interior, headliner, header foam and upper vinyl, rubber body plugs, Murder mat insulation, front windshield, entire wiring harness, dash with instruments, fabric insulation, heater box and fan housing, remainder of the vinyl interior, plastic panels, carpets, seats, all weather stripping, scuff/kick plates, parking brake handle, doors and door glass, hatch and hatch glass, antenna What did I miss?

Namerow Posted March 19, 2017 Share #383 Posted March 19, 2017 The section headings in Wick Humble's book provide a pretty good guide for reassembly steps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share #384 Posted March 31, 2017 Finally got some progress pics from Jody, looks like he has filled in some of the seams in the engine bay which I asked him not to do. This colour grey is a little darker in person then it is in these pics, should have the car back in 2 wks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
