Just a small update for today: 1) Secured the chassis jig for safety reasons and easier moving. Front: And rear:  Needed to create these “Spacers” from a metal-tube because the threads stop halfway on the bolt, but this solution solves the problem nicely 🙂 2) I finally Set up the “assembly bench” in the basement of my new home, which lets me work on smaller stuff while the chassis is at the bodyshop. As you can see next on the list is still trying to polish a few pieces (ashtray and stuff) as well as starting assembly of the Steering rack assembly 🙂 3) Oh and if you haven’t heard…

If there is one guy i can’t thank enough when it comes to my project this is my Datsun-buddy Stev which has been superhelpful. He came by my place today and spent 8 hours working for a free pizza and some money for the fuel. How often does this happen to anyone? THANK YOU SO MUCH, STEV!! You’re an awesome guy with a great taste in cars 🙂 So that’s what we (aka HE) did today: 1) He brought a bunch of pre-cut steel bars to create a rolling chassis jig, so i’ll be able to move my car easy onto a trailer to get it moved to the bodyshop:…

Here we go, another update: removed the brake and fuel lines from the car: Then i bought some wheels for the rolling chassis-jig we’re planning to build on saturday. Next was cleaning the garage. Before: After: And this is how the car looks today. ready for the bodyshop:

Finally, yeah F I N A L L Y i’m cranking up the project agiain. After moving my home, saving some money for the bodyshop and preparing a lot of things i got back to work on my Z. Oh how i’ve missed it.. I spent two afternoons in the garage taking out the rear-end. It’s quite a bit of pain if you don’t have a rattle-gun or a car lift. However it’s done now and i’m happy: Before: After: and out it is: Next was the handbrake assembly and the diff upper mounting-belt: Out they are: so now the only parts left on the second chassis are the fuel…
