cheers for the comments, it took a lot of time. A lot of cold sw victoria nights in the shed sparying sanding, spraying, sanding, spraying etc.
i think in the end 4+ litres of polyester spray putty was applied and nearly all of it rubbed off again.
Dont know if i like the colour yet. I am thinking i should have gone a burnt orange colour. i have always loved old datsuns in that colour.

Plans now are to put back all the interior and trim, mount the battery under the passenger side dash and rewire. It should be then ready for some glass and a roadworthy.

Once i have full rego the engine will come out and get some extractors, bike carbies cam, springs, a14 valves and some porting. Looking for a 5 speed box aswell. I want to do some long trips in her so dont want to be revving like crazy
