I was impressed. That's the way I make things with that labor of love; persistence, patience and determination to get it right, as long as it takes and whatever it takes. 9.5/10
I just finished watching this series of videos, far out what a great project, it's so nice to see a small vintage vehicle being restored, it's so typical that only the big muscle cars are restored, very talented!!! If only I had the time, equipment, and perseverance that you clearly have. I had a Nissan Datsun 120Y Coupe as my first car, and this brought back a lot of memories. I do believe the early Datsun's had a lot of rust issues because of the poor quality of steel and the absence of knowledge of adverse environmental issues of countries they were exported to. Absolute pleasure to watch, very well done indeed!
Oh dang, looks like the first vid of yours which I saw is your most recent one. Excellent work, though, hope all is well and sometime that you make some more videos perhaps.
What did you end up coating your floor did you recoat the bitumen stuff I have a 1973 4 door sedan with an a14 twin SU carburettor why did you end did you get kicked out of your apartment with all the noise and the smells 19:21 I am in Tasmania can smell it over the fence when are the question did you end up filling in the Cowling gaps so water cannot get in thanks you are an inspiration well done
Can’t wait for you to finish this project. This is so satisfying! I’m planning on getting a Datsun Sunny and I’ve been watching a lot of restoration videos and stumbled upon yours. Keep it up!
Great series. Following closely from Japan with a rescued sunny /1200 ute project of my own. Its been a while since tour last video, hope the ute gets finished and all is well.
Graham from XA Coupe Guy would be so proud as you break the complex into simple and do one task at a time. Having a stretcher tool and a shrinker tool might help and make life easier but after the seam welder you just purchased you may not have that cash available.
Haha yeah, it was a little hard to find so maybe I can flip it for around the same price. For the time being I can work around my lack of shrinker stretcher 😁
All the way from San Francisco bay area, love your vids, and can do attitude. Love the progress. I'll be doing this soon on a 69 510/1600. Couple tips. Try and keep your grinding disc parallel with the area being ground. It keeps it from diverting the metal. Also, maybe try and use a Mini belt sander. Either way, thank you!
hola como estas michael excelente el trabajo que llevas durante todos estos años, para llevar acabo la restauracion de tu datsun 1200. esperando con ansias el video #23 eres mi guia por tus videos, estoy llevando acabo la recontruccion de mi datsun 1200.
@@32Builds In my experience. lower sills are the most daunting challenge for an unskilled dude to take on and probably the nr1 reason many people turn away from fixing a vehicle. Im sure this video alone will be instrumental in saving many that would otherwise have been scrapped.
might be crazy but always wanted one of this to add a sunroof small operable windows from cabin to bed and added sace behind the seats to act as storage or a woofer cabinet
Wow your dedication to detail is encouraging. I'm almost done with my Red one. Just points and condenser with carburettor prep Keep going you have boosted me to promod my SSS. 👍🙏
To keep distortion down, use compressed air after each tack weld to cool it down. Takes time, but keeps distortion down. Also spreading out the tack welds all over the weld seam instead of going in a line.
The amount of work in such cramped conditions is respected. My wife does not allow me to wash spare parts in the sink)) PS and then? how are things with the car? You did it right!?
Hey Michael, checking in after the recent floods, hoping you and your Datsun weren't too affected by recent events. Been following you from the start and finally picked up an 84 model today that also requires a buttload of hard work and long hours. Not quite as much rust as yours but there is a lot of questionable backyard repair work to rectify.
Inspirational stuff.. gotta ask cause this is pretty extensive/time consuming work do you ever ask yourself "what have I got myself into" 😅.. I know I do a lot with half as big jobs 🤣🤣
Haha cheers! Yeah sometimes, but I remind myself to enjoy the process while I'm at it as well 😂 Really enjoying picking up the new skills and fixing her up!
I love your videos hermano... Do a video of the braking system please... Play the Cali Roots 2021 Riddim instrumental on it as a secret shout out... Cheers
Binge watched this the last 2 days... now I ran out of content :( Keep up the good work! and hopefully there was some progress in the last 6 months! I see your Insta and FB is also quiet :(
Hi, I’ve just bought a dato 1000, it’s awesome what you have done with your series and I’ll be using as a guide… love to throw some questions your way if ok, cheers
There's a product called cavity wax that we use in automotive repairs, it has a 360 degree nozzle and coats the inside of repairs with wax protecting welds and repairs from potential rust. Might be useful if you can get your hands on it. I'm studying automotive body tech and use this a lot
I think it's time for me to take care of my rust bucket Datsun B110 sedan too. But chassis thing is maybe too big for my skill set. Is there any link for me to buy body parts, window gaskets & seals? Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾 keep it up mate!
nice work man, will have to check the rest of your vids now ;) *ive got a 720 but nowhere to work on it currently, so its a real tease watching vids like this lol
I was impressed. That's the way I make things with that labor of love; persistence, patience and determination to get it right, as long as it takes and whatever it takes. 9.5/10
We have much love for you in SA🇿🇦

Cheers guys! 😍
I hope you are ok. Waiting for an update. Love your work.
Came here to comment something similar. It's nice to be able to follow a more relatable build online. Keen to see this one through to completion!
Hi,we miss you.from Africa.Please continue posting your videos
When are we seeing the final content for this datsun??? This is very informative videos and it seems it is not done yet...
You show great patience in your work, very well done. I hope to see you back on the build.

Thanks for making this, it's fantastic! I hope you're able to see it through (or let it go, sometimes that's how it goes).
Love how you get into it with limited space. Cant wait until you get your own shed. Keep up the great work!
Cheers! Owning a shed is defs on my bucketlist 🤣
Brother i hve 1965 datsun 1200...Zimbabwe i cant find the parts
Hi guy... I enjoy your bids so much. Are you not going to finish your build?
You are so cool !
I want to see the continuation !
Oh dang, looks like the first vid of yours which I saw is your most recent one. Excellent work, though, hope all is well and sometime that you make some more videos perhaps.

I forgot how much body work this truck needs . Keep at it Man .
I know 😂 Most of the shots have been of the front of the car until now. Focus time 😄
Hey man the bolts you used on the tail shaft, the factory bolts have a shoulder that takes the load, definitely keep an eye on them 🤙

You've been busy, body work is quite demanding. Awesome build 🤙🏼
Cheers buddy! Yeah heaps of time spent problem solving haha
Thank you for taking the time to show your work on the truck, Amazing job!

Been 2 years, hope the build is still coming along

Hello, how are you? We need more content until we see how everything works perfectly, I'm from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Love the metal work dude.
Thank you!! 🥰

Good work dude🙌 I admire your perseverance
Cheers Ryan 😊
Do you have new videos of this car?
might be crazy but always wanted one of this to add a sunroof small operable windows from cabin to bed and added sace behind the seats to act as storage or a woofer cabinet
Wow your dedication to detail is encouraging. I'm almost done with my Red one. Just points and condenser with carburettor prep
Keep going you have boosted me to promod my SSS. 👍🙏
We need you back
Great work. Love to see it
Thank you!
To keep distortion down, use compressed air after each tack weld to cool it down. Takes time, but keeps distortion down. Also spreading out the tack welds all over the weld seam instead of going in a line.
P.S. the best guy I ever found on youtube for tips and tricks with sheet metal fabrication is Fitzee's fabrications
Really clean man keep it up
Thank you!
Cool techniques!!
Cheers!
Part 23 plz
Great job man!! Love your videos!! Greetings.
Thanks you!! 😁
Great video as always. the repair went very well !!!
Cheers! I'm glad that's the general consensus 😂
Amigo cuando subes más vídeos del 1200???

Nice jobe mate. What gauge sheet metal are you using for the body panel repair
Werry nays...cool ...
