Some days later...
I just got back to bodyshop, I couldn't wait to see how it looked like after painting.
and here we got, professional sikkens paintjob, it hasn't been polished yet.
I was amazed how shiny the engine bay looked like.
A closer view of engine bay.
A side view of the car. no engine/tranny on the bay.
Take a look to my interiors, seats were removed since the beggining, there's loads of dust. :/
A closer look of the crash, it doesn't exist anymore :D look next to fuel filler door, close to taillight bucket, I'ts perfect.
This is the front fascia after sanding process. just took 4 days to take old paint out of it,here it's already prepared for black semi-flat paint coat.
I couldn't take a better shoot due space between car & paint cabin but here's the left side of the car.
Now I got out for some dinner and got back after an hour...
Newspaper is being taped to paint those window mouldings everything will be semi-flat black.
Rear window mouldings being painted.
and here we can appreciate how it looks at the front.
That was everything I shoot that week.
One week later:
The car has been moved to mechanic area, I arrived at best moment, they removed the hood (bonnet) to place the engine/tranny on once again, everything has been already re-assembled, even interiors.
This is the legendary mexican domestic market, carbureted, J18, 1.8Lt 1800CC DATSUN ENGINE, with 5 speed manual transmission. It easily reaches 180KM/HR at 5800RPM witout any problem I replaced the old one for a new one for $700 plus installing, this one must thave about 5000 KM at much.
