I totally stripped a (one owner, matching numbers, granny car 180BSSS auto) body shell last night, hence my suggestions about storing the bolts etc.
Why strip this collector item? A vynal roof let it get terminal cancer everywhere BUT the usual places - ie the whole upper half of the body, boot floor, and inside rear footwells! I am now cutting off other good panel sections that will be useful, i.e. the sills, rear quarter panels, front floor pans, front inner guards and radiator support panel - I hate throwing out any Datsun stuff with any servicability left in it. There is not much to dump after this! I have another 180BSSS shell that is going to get rebirthed with this stuff inserted, after a bit of cosmetic rust removal and a paint job. A member on this list, from Knox, supplied this shell, a yellow one - sorry I've forgotten your name! Big decision before the reassembly is What Colour? I've always thought bright red is the only colour that makes a 180BSSS looks good, with contrasting black bits and gold mags, but Canary Yellow is not too bad either? Has anyone tried the "Non Iso" 2 Pak paint currently stocked at Autobarn? If so - any feedback on its ease of use, quality of finish etc? ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Morton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 7:20 PM Subject: RE: Datsun 240K donor parts > I just want to strip a car for the fun of it :) > > (yes I am a child) > > Of course I plan to do this eventually when I build my V8-engine coffee > table... > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 22 April 2004 6:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Datsun 240K donor parts > > > Yep agree 10000% on keeping the bolts when u strip a car.
