xero_xero Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So, this is the beginning of a new transition. Making that move, from 11 years of honda, to a new chassis. i like Function/Form. i like driveability. Clean paint is always nice, but i dont want to worry about every little bump in the road. I am a machinist. i am a decent welder. sheet metal is all new to me. All that being said. I have a Fairlady. I traded a fun little acura integra for a legally registered 1975 Fairlady 2+2. Came with a few goodies, as pictures will show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xero_xero Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Going through the fender, i hit some funny paint/primer/bondo. really gummy. clogged up an 80 grit grinder disc quick. this is of the Right fender. and theres way more bondo to go. looks like they didnt even try to pull it any. Etching primer after sanding to bare metal. left fender, right roof, part of b pillar on right side. I have add, hard to concentrate. How far im taking it. Fender, nearly bare.

xero_xero Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Got to pull the flat tops off. Along with the exhaust mani. Bit much corrosion. Rear right quarter needs the most attention. Weld or rebuild. We shall see. It will take a solid 8 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtbiker194 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 pics or it didnt happen. haha. I always see threads like this after they are 5 years old and I end up having to read through 5 years of crap to catch up and see the end product. I am glad that I'm getting into this thread very early on to see your progress! Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
