you h ave to notice that I am still in university....so half the amount of money spent is in debt !

I hate being in dept, I avoid it like the plague.

[gregfarz78]

[alnissan]

i like the garage , me and my dad are finishing our 30x30 hopefully this summer.That was a s*** ton of rust on the car though.

haha y eah i took that picture with my old camera film canon at-1 that may be why!

[g love]

Props, your dedication is what moves me. After seeing this I am going to get off my butt and start swapping my head. Thank you!

small update ! the cockpit, trunk and engine bay are now painted! you now know the final color of the whole car!

another update this week!

[IanS]

Looks awesome as always.

On that note, I have a favor to ask. Could you possible take a few pictures of the rotisserie you built, and maybe send me a few specs on it? Id like to build one, and it would make my life a lot easier if I had something to go off of. If its not too much to ask, you can post up here, or shoot me an email.

[m tr4nch]

awesome! really really good job there man. can i ask what kind of paint you used on the underbody, etc for the rust? rustbullet, por-15, zerorust, etc? can't wait to see this thing finished

edit: also just noticed, a lot of your pics on page 2 & 3 aren't working anymore for some reason.

the parts were surface rust was present and did not requiere complete resheeting were treated with RUSTECO® to neutralize rust and then shot with wasprimer from sikkens/Akzo Nobel then gravelguard. I did buy some POR-10 but since it was brushable I did not use it for this project... I might later ! as for the other pictures not working they were removed because I did not have them anymore for some reason I clicked inadvertently on delete all on photobucket and I did not have a backup of all of them feel that they were relevent so much! thanks for all your comments!

Gabby speaks the truth, even if she is a brat.

[dopplganger1]

did you use actual dynamat or is it some other brand? if so how many sq feet did you buy?

[ca20det]

no its fatmat from ebay andI bought 100sqft and I have a little more than 1/3 of the 2nd roll left....

[TwoJayZee240]

Hey i would like to say u have inspired me to resore mine. I was wondering what the dementions were of your rotisarie are? thanks

[ca20det]

new update see for yourselft!!! body kit prepped and primed started to put back the wiring stay tuned! couldn't have done it without my buddy Ben

[Nis-240sx-san]

WOW! VERY nice!

[m tr4nch]

looks amazing. almost there! wish i could say the same haha

[White Comet]

im glad i found this thread, very clean. i just started fatmatting mine this week and im anxious to see how it works out

[zach-Ka]

Absolutely wonderful work. Im very jealous.

[671zenki]

i must agree, great work and your patience is astounding!

[zenkistic]

congrats man. this car should be called nissan-torieri or sth since you actually rebuilt the whole thing... When I came to US for my grad studies I was surprised to see the hands-on experience that mech-eng students get, but wow, this was beyond my imagination (yeap I know you are in Canada ). You should consider making a portofolio of this work and bring it along with your CV when you are looking for a job, even if it is not relevant. It shows your dedication, patience and skills. wow man.

[Gabes13]

wow

[ca20det]

thanks actually I never had any training in either mechanix or body work I study mechanical engineering in university but trust me there is a world between the theory and the practice ! and it is in no way related and trust me engineers suck when it comes to manual labor !

[ca20det]
