So I lied, I ordered a new windshield gasket from Zcardepot. It wasn't a lot of money and I could afford the little bit of lost time. The second one I got was not a "Precision" gasket. I actually like it better. It seems softer and possibly a little larger and the welded corners look really good. So I had a go at the stainless trim again. I bought some tools on Amazon, because who doesn't like new tools! 😉 So this is a windshield trim tool. There are some vintage windshield styles that use a rubber insert to log the glass in. I wasn't sure this tool would have a tip that was large enough for the stainless trim. Cody was helping me here hold the gasket to the glass and keep it in line with the trim I used the Precision gasket lube to make it easier for the edges of the rubber to move around the trim. The gasket isn't quite right in the lower corners yet, but I was thinking the car would force this corner into shape? We got the trim in with one really small nick. It's almost unnoticeable. So hopefully next weekend we will install the glass

Thank you. I was mainly testing technique. I will leave the other 3 for Cody 😉

The dimensions of the caps for the headlight screws. I have found some 8mm caps but they're not long

I did some polishing on Cody's headlight rings This took about 5 minutes

I finished the other side of the tunnel today

He's in California, probably going to have to get it all back right to pass SMOG

I will work getting them posted. I probably didn't do them yet

Having a spare set of carbs helps eliminate a lot! Fuel: weak or sporadic pump, bad tank or lines, too rich? Ignition: bad coil, bad cap, bad dizzy More vacuum leaks

What do you do about overspray at the door edges to prevent blowing in on the door jamb?

It looks like this link might be behind a paywall...

I am always looking for something to read when the forum is slow!

Will you leave the interior in primer or color it?

You're flying! Great progress!!

You could probably also link to the UK site in your thread

@AK260 Be sure and post up your experiences. Either in this thread or a new one. This is a topic that could use fleshing out as so few people have attempted this rebuild

I understand. The three shops I recommended have very good reputations

I believe the resource section has templates for them except maybe the floor mats. Unless I forgot to post my tunnel templates?

The wires aren't very expensive...

Where is the positive terminal on the old battery? I prefer to get one that has the positive terminal away from the fender.

Where did you source that?

Well, you answered one of my questions. You still have the noise on a cool differential. I wouldn't get rid of any CLSD r200! If even for parts in the future. If it was me and I could afford it, I would find a rebuilder to go through it. Especially after reading inline6's thread on what he's gone through trying to do his. Call Rebello, zcargarage or Datsun spirit for a price or a recommended shop to do the work.

I suspect in the speedo itself. I have had mixed results cleaning them.

@chaseincats Being in Texas I wouldn't think smog or inspections would be an issue?

That might be nice!

Testing headlamp bulbs in the shop the other day. Another use for the jump box. I have an LED kit that SteveJ recommended but I figured I would start this way and then add the LED's in later
