Looks great mate
You have done a lot

Thanks for saving another Datsun 1200!

Re-manufactured front panel

I bought one from Old Skool in Melbourne (Thomastown) and it needs some adjustments to fit the sedan.

It would fit better on a ute I suspect

1. The passenger side top flap needs to be flattened off as shown
2. The tabs for the plastic style grill should be removed (there's 4 tabs - only 2 in my pic but you get the idea)
3. You need to make up and put on some tabs to fit the metal grill (I will document this when I do it

See the pics below

Great progress David. Looks like that spot welder will come in handy!

2k good idea for the engine bay. The 2k high fill primer/surfacer goes on quiet easily and is easy to sand
you just need quite a big tip on your gun to spray it as it's quite thick (e.g. 2mm).

Top stuff man!

O like more than your ute

Figures ... I think you just like something stripped naked

If only we were talking about rear ends now too

good job on saving another datsun!

Engine bay is in etch primer.

next the 2k primer / filler . doing the radiator support panel separately and will assemble just before top coats
