I wouldn't bother with brazing or welding. Just dimple the holes and use filler ... either way don't forget to paint the back side of the holes inside the door

Maybe if I slightly dimpled each hole in, by like 1mm in a conic shape, the fill would have good enough depth to handle being sanded down.

This car has had multiple driver's side mirrors on it, and now has about 8 holes of different sizes in the general area where the mirror should go. How would y'all recommend repairing this? I'm thinking using brazing rod rather than welding, because it should be less distortion. I have a TIG and am reasonably decent at TIG brazing. I am, however, worried that it'll more or less sit on top of the steel so when I sand it down flush, the hole will still be there. But that could happen if I tig weld in filler rod too. Thoughts?

I now have my little microcontroller firing off 4uS +/- 100 nanosecond pulses, within about 100uS of getting a PIP shot in from the EDIS module. As in, every pulse is the right width, between 4-1792uS, and doesn't just have "about 4uS" precision, it has "about 0.1uS" precision, and this from a chip that costs less than USD $3. I've got all the rest of the stuff: the sensor, the module and coil, hooked up and about ready to go, so now I have to make this automotive grade rather than a chip I soldered onto a homemade PCB, and I should have a decent little setup.

Of course, if you count labor costs, I've spent about 10x what a megajolt jr would have cost. But it's the thrill of getting it to work, right?
Besides what else do I do when it's 40C outside.

I noticed the southern cross graphic on the door and the "NISSAN MOTOR AUSTRALIA" on the guard. Could this be the old works car of Aaltonen? But those were two-door hardtop coupe 710 SSS HT

So I'm thinking this is a tribute car, painted the same colors, with the same sponsor stickers as the 1977 Total Oil Southern Cross Rally winners #1 aaltonen and #2 kallstrom. But only this time in a 4-door 710 SSS form. And the stickers are different sizes

I miss the southern cross. We could see it in Maui (21 degrees N) right before dawn, but here in the continental USA, not at all

likely that special mesh belt thing. So easy to drive these things it would be like cheating
and put all the special transmission places out of business that the corrupt F1 had shares in.

when I had the 13b in my 1000 the H145 with H150 centre took looks of abuse
more than I expected but had the H190 alloy diff ready but never needed it.
I revved the 13b engine to 9+k rpm and got pulled over for excessive noise
which led to a canary sticker for non engineered running gear.
Yet these little H145 are stronger than I expected them to be and so light
with the alloy centre that the H190 alloy seemed like double the weight.
