Made a start on the drivers side :/
Not so nice ..

Mooore Datsun.......

Today another Datsun turned up showing signs of tin weevil :/

Passenger side first..
out with the power tools :)

clean steel :)


Pretty lights :)

New steel..

Off my ramp and on someone elses :)

But the other person was the MOT tester :)
What did he say...
Well after things like cool, wow, nice and oi you lot come and see this.....

He said pass :)


So a couple of last piccies before I park it up ready for collection :)

It goes :)

Tonight the ramp was lowered and the Datsfun was ejected :)

With the fuel leaks fixed I could drive it out under its own power :)

Still had one last job to sort, the brace was resting on the engine when fitted so I cut and rewelded the bracket and it now has just enough clearance :)


I drove it home tonight, just to make sure it was running ok, honest ;P
Made me smile :)

Arse end done :)

Rear valence sorted today :)

A quick grizzle to tidy

and a coat ofzinc and sealer :)

Bolt it back up tomorrow and book the MOT :)

Datsun spares heading off

The yellow datsun we broke has yeilded many spares and a load were collected today.


The little pick up is a Hyundai Pony and is fitted with a datsun motor which today proved somewhat troublesome :(
Eventual call to the AA got it fixed with a new condenser :)

Zodiac stopping power

Brake pedal on the Zody is seized solid so a m/c rebuild or replace is on the cards but while we had the wheels off for the diff replacement Inoticed the wheel cylinders were seized too so we removed the cylinders off the other Zephyr and soaked them is diesel for a day and managed to strip them down. A good clean and a quick spray ..

Seal kits ordered along with a hone kit to clean the bores.
Thought you may like to see the diff we removed from the Zody :(



The Zody needs an exhaust manifold so as this zephyr one is broke and also spare I am going to use it as a base for making the Zody one. It will need blanking off at the ends and cutting in half :)
