thanx ratbox, might need a hand, i'll see how i go.

well it looks like the spoiler is out the window wasnt too keen on keeping it.

thommo, there's no brand on it, it just has special cast on top. ill get a pic next time im in the shed

[fb cruzn]

well i got back into the shed today, got a pic of the rocket cover, i held a eh/ej special badge near it, writing looks similar



also got the subframe back on cross member back in and motor back in





that was enuff of mechanical, time to get my daily intake of paint fumes
took all the chrome and stainless off the dash and gave it a coat of undercoat



the right hand side of the ol girl is pretty good, the flash paint was a bit sad so just a quick rub and coat of undercoat

Good score for $10

hey mate wat paint did u use for the dash? im in the process of doin mine, looks nice

[fb cruzn]

Hi 62, i use acrilic paint, just motorspray from my local auto parts store, the colour is nissan vintage burgundy, i put a clear coat on to
the pics dont do it justice, looks heaps better in the flesh

Got the shifter made today

it works, but im not real sure bout it, something doesnt feel right

anyway, back to the shed

[fb cruzn]

Also started polishing the door latches and test fit rubbers

Looking sweet there FB Cruzn... really flying along with it you are....

What colour you going to do the flash... i think you should go for a crazy shift knob....and swap the wheel over for a mooneyes or something...

but you owe us some shifter pics..

are you going to re-spray the floor?

cheers

thanx for the comments Nomad, yea ill paint the floor with stone guard, i should have already done it but i ran out and need to buy more.

iv got a 8 ball shift knob ere somewhere, ill prob use it.
Im gonna take the old column shift off and mount a smiths tacho there.

The flash will be white, maby with metal flake,

Yea shifter pics, ill have to take some, it was pretty easy to make. hardest part was cutting a hole in the floor (i replaced all 4 floor pans in its first build)

i have also made the mounts for the front seat belts

[fb cruzn]

Shifter pic's for you NoMad

in this pic you can see the new linkage i made that bolts to the box, i made it because the shifter didnt feel right i wanted to move the piviot.








and a shot looking down the hole in the floor



I hav'nt put the second linkage on yet, but it works fine as is

Sorry bout pic quality, camera phone
