Hi folks!
Sorry by the delayed news…but Mr. Vitorino hurted itself with a machine working on a non-classic car…as result, my Datsun suffered some extra time for the finishing…no problem at all…Mr. Vitorino’s healt is much more importat!!!
Tha car…almost done…it’s time for instaling the last parts and try it on the road…the motor is stopped almost one year and a half and it can be a problem…I guess not…it’s a Datsun…
Let’s see the last advances…

The front seats, they went on a restoration as the original ones…and even the rollers were carefully treated…
















Then they were applied, and even its components suffered restoration…











The back seats now ready…and the interior is for now…there are some details I want to repair, like the buttons…air, lights, water pump and lighter…




Mr Vitorino working on the back protection…it was made of wood and then leather for the finishing…better than the original…I think its important because it keeps scratches away from the black…







Applied…




Two extra rubbers…I didn’t know they existed on this model…the are used as hood sustainers…I think is to avoid some noise…













The metal plates…are made of luminium and the numbers and letters are plastic…









Mr. Vitorino worried about the distances…



I cleaned and restored this part…







And the final result…




Then the mechanic…I changed oil, oil filter and oil seal…



The oil filter…also original…



The new oil seal…nobody will ever see it…but I know its there…




The pushers that were cleaned by my wife…




And my friend Ricardo, he also helped…he is a Nissan representor here in Portugal…Hid father keeps a 1971 Datsun 1200 S1…what a machine…83 HP…










I made na alteration, I inserted a rubber for not scratch the painting…I’ll change it for black, but the black one is out of stock at this moment…







The back windshield was applied…the rubber is original too, and it fits fantastic…even the chrome plate entered very nice…













Hope you liked the advances…
And on the next post I’ll insert the videos and the last evolution…almost in the end…
