  • Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this 1977 Datsun 280z.
    I am using a proprietary 3 step process involving A paint removing alkaline, rust removing acid, and a water based rust inhibitor.

    I wonder how many times a customer gets their car back and they get to see the body clear of all bondo, rust & crap and they think "man I have really bitten off much more than I can chew, what do I do now ?" !!!

    I'm a Datsun enthusiast, I've had z cars, my uncle worked at a Datsun/Peugeot dealer when I was a kid. Strangely, I prefer the B210/B310, Maxima's and 620/720 trucks. We got a new 1984 720 truck when I was little and I picked it out of the line of them. I currently own a 1979 B310( aka 210, no B) wagon. Little thing sat in a junkyard at least 10 years and a fresh can of gas and a hot battery and she's run ever since I got it home. There's a reason Datsuns were called Atomic cockroaches. Mechanically they are very tough. The new 1984 720 didn't make it ten years before the rust made it unsafe. They can rust real bad. Not every one but they were prone to it. My 79 wagon needs a little rocker work and I'm sure a few bolts will break but otherwise she ain't bad.

    Restored a 70 240z and a 71 240z. One required rust repair, the other was darn near a resurrection from all the rot. I spent the whole restoration budget on rust repair...had to dump it for a song after I never recovered financially. Learned my lesson with that one: NEVER AGAIN. Rust repair is never finished on these old Z cars, they rot just from being driven in the rain. This one needs thousands in metal repair...like $10-15k, unless the owner is going to do it themselves. The floor, cowl, lower doglegs, and hatch rot would ordinarily be enough to doom it.

      As much as I love seeing these old cars and these in particular brought back, whoever brings this one back is honestly a fool. That one is just too far gone to justify the insane amount of patching it is going to require. Especially when you consider they aren't exactly rare and in the south are fairly easy to get for a couple grand with minimal rust. I picked up an 82 as a resto project a couple of years ago for $800 with virtually no rust. Would have cost me probably $1500ish if it had an engine in it, but I had zero need ot the engine and just needed a body. Still point being, not expensive or hard to find.

    It would be a 10 mm socket and wrench.

    Socket on the wrench is probably a 10-mil, because it's ALWAYS a 10-mil.

    I remember working on a 240z back in the 1980s lovely sweet running straight six, the interior was Datsun Cherry horrible plastic, opened the bonnet to find the old style steering box wasn't attached to anything, the lower chassis rail had long crumbled to red dust
