Not an easy job: 1/3 educator, 1/3 keeper-of-order, 1/3 entertainer. Made all the more challenging in this modern era of cell phone and texting distractions. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm officially retired 🤪 Got a little wiring on the south wall - finished up the wiring of the 240 & 120 receptacles Used crimp eyelets for the grounds wired each receptacle separately rather than bridging them 12AWG for the 20A receptacles Made sure they were the right version 240V outlet this time 10AWG for the 240V 10WGA Junction that feeds the East center post receptacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusseinHolland Posted July 9 Author Share #199 Posted July 9 (edited) Broke down & bought an OEM fuel sender from ZcarDepot - I've gone through two different aftermarket senders, and both leaked around the sender pins. Installed it today Hopefully the end of my gas smells Edited July 10 by HusseinHolland typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusseinHolland Posted July 10 Author Share #200 Posted July 10 (edited) While I'm in wait mode for the TUS-11a Ujoint, I cleaned up the floors & undersills where the undercoat was either non existent or damaged, and primed exposed areas, then stone chip protection then undercoat. Have to wear a coat & respirator - this stuff is nasty. The ambient temps are in the 90's, so I think I lost about 5lbs in water weight by the time I was done. Area that was beaten to fit the 350Z seat wire-brushed the original undercoat & soaked with some turps to soften up the old stuff. Chipped off the loose bits. Replacement (warranty) tension rod bushings came, so I pout those in also Edited July 10 by HusseinHolland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusseinHolland Posted July 10 Author Share #201 Posted July 10 Still waiting for Datsun parts. So, I started fixing the rust on the Volvo pickup right rocker panel. Driver's side has no issues. Pretty bad. It was bad when I got the wagon 3 years ago started poking from the inside cut most of the outer skin off have to fix the inner structure before I can replace the rocker skin. This mid section below the captive nut is the reinforcement for the B pillar, all this has to be replaced Scraped all this sealant/undercoat back from the floor to rocker lip, to make sure nothing will catch fire when I start welding in new sections 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusseinHolland Posted July 12 Author Share #202 Posted July 12 (edited) Scraping away at the underside where I will need to make a cut Shoulder gets wider towards the rear. It's been very hot & humid making it difficult to work outside Cross section of rocker/sill/B pillar reinforcement cut from a wreck Drilled out the sill welds on the spare section - I want to try & cut the inner repair piece from this Cut some sheet metal in preparation for bending Have to match the rocker section, and make some inner support sections Also put new handles on two sledge hammers I dug out of the yard many years back. Now I have 4 sizes - these two fall in the middle Edited July 12 by HusseinHolland 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno - I also found a large amount of horseshoes, railroad tie nails and a pair of gas filing station 'guns' from the days before the vent caps were required. Not sure what all that was about.
