The datsun sunny was really popular , but would win olympic gold for rusting. Stick up some piccys of your project as you go along.

thanks very much for that! though the wing is different to my own the seller may know of more, ill put up a few pictures but there must be no laughing im under no illusion that its going to be a concurs restoration, ive already done an ra28 in that fashion and its being painted so ive just got this to play with, im considering shoe horning a turbo diesel into her some time and may do some wide arches on the rear

ive nothing to copy really as the old one was badly repaired before

You could try Imperial crash panels I got my MK3 & MK2 Escort panels from them not perfect fits but fairly close for patterns.

very nice,I do like it. I enjoy Classic cars from the era when I was growing up.....actually,I don't think I've grown up yet

ill just get her road worthy and blast the underside on axle stands and give it a few good coats of epoxy and she will be preserved till im organized enough to respray the topside properly, I can dance in the boot of it and not fall through now ha ha

 

[squazy84]

new metal

after 3 coats of epoxy inside and out to keep her while im working the rest of car
