What I did on my Datsun today

[Racerx3110]

Looks Great! Nice work!

Replaced the rear brakes complete except for adjusters which I cleaned up so they work by hand now. Also bent new hard brake lines from copper/nickel tubing. Next is reinstall the fuel tank with new fuel level sender and hoses. Then on to 280ZX struts with 300ZX hubs, 280ZX rotors and calipers.

The butyl sound deadner installed, 2nd layer of self adhesive closed cell foam laid on top. I'm hoping for a significant improvent in the reduction of heat and noise from the engine bay.

Dang! Hey, where does that blue wire with the white stripe go?

Removed the 280ZX lower strut perches:


but cut a little deep on one, had to weld a bead before painting:


Got em both painted ready for shaft collars and 510 lower perches:


Got the spacers milled to center the rotors in the calipers using 300ZX hubs:


Be pulling the front cross member shortly to get it sanded and painted. Still waiting on new strut inserts and a couple steering gear parts before I can put it all back together.
