Sooooo,, back again after a loooonnngg time..
The datto went in for painting and I got it back after almost 7 months.. The person working on the car could have done a much better job at everything but he chose not to.. Anyways, I gave him candy red paint and this is what I was given :(
From the time the car came back, I didn't have much time to do anything so did all I could in stages..
Installed a decent pair of Recaro seats in the front and removed the rear seats.
Got hold of SSR XR4 Longchamp wheels and threw in on the car..
Installed new carpet rug inside, made new door panels, headliner, upholstered the dash (The starlet dash is out, back to original)
The dual carb A15 plans are also down the drain now so threw on a A12 head with new gasket and stock A12 carb..

I also have a few spare brand new bumpers if anyone is interested in purchasing it.
The front bumper is from the square face PB310 model and the rear bumper is from the 310 round face model.

So, during the last few months I was very busy and didn't have time to work on the Datsun. My brother who was helping me also moved away to another city. During that time, I managed to collect few Datsun goodies! Got some brand new fenders and bumpers. The fenders however is from the pre fave lift version. So I decided to switch to that look. Attached pictures are just a test fit of the new grill bumper and fender. Didn't get a new bonnet so will have to cut and shape to match the round edge of the grill

Bad weather in the country so got very limited work done.
* Cleaned the blower motor, mini radiator and the fan. The radiator was full of rust and the condition was almost new. Seems like we were the first people to clean it since it rolled out of the factory. Blower works like a charm now. Have to modify the ducts to fit the starlet dash now.
* The turn signals and the park lights were rewired and all of it work great now..
Next on the list is the air cleaner box but before thathat have to fix the intake manifold, the corner where the #12 nut goes broke off, we tried to fix it with abro steel but it doesn't work.
Thinking of A/C, all the components are in the car except the compressor and condenser. Finding a A series A/C compressor in Fiji is like finding needle in a haystack.
Any ideas of compatible compressors??

Little update on the Dash!
Allowed the fiberglass to dry completely and then installed the dash back in the Datto.
Looks good to me and fits perfectly now. Minor adjustments needed where the cluster will go but apart from that, all seems well.
Still not decided on the cluster. The standard EP80 cluster seems like a suitable option but then again thinking about the mile meter cable modifications.

Thought to upload a picture of the Datsun. The interior is quite rough but my cat seems to like it.
Anyways, the dashboard fiberglass part is complete (2nd time using resin and fibre mat but I guess I did good, too much spills though)
Next on the list is preparing the dash for either paint or vinyl. Not sure yet.
Appreciate the ideas for the air cleaner box, will work on it in the weekend. Also thinking of fabricating a box to fit a standard air filter.
Any wiring diagrams around for the car ? I want to rewire some stuff from scratch like all the lightning components. I myself m a dummy when it comes to electrical so all the help I can get will be much appreciated :)

Little update since my last post. The carbs ran pretty well for a few days but then started flooding. We adjusted the float levels and it sorted the flooding issue. Since that, we have serviced the carb twice since we don't have a air filter on em yet..
Any ideas for air filters guys ?
The Starlet dash on the other hand is coming together piece by piece, the wiring part is very difficult for us since we both are dummies when it comes to electrical stuff.. The car itself had lots of electrical issues. Ignition lights, turn signals, park lights. Lol.. Any simple diagram would be a great help ;)
