New World Datsuns...

Blasted!







Mobile blasting booth.





I guess I didn't mask as good as I thought.. filled the seat with some glass. You just can't keep this shit from going EVERYWHERE! lol

New pump.. unfortunately I don't think I'll use it. I thought I could use it with my existing clutch setup, but I can't. The flange is the wrong size.


existing fan clutch. It's kinda strange, but it worked really well!


Old pump. Probably not going to find another one of these around.

Anyone have a spare cooling fan to use with a water pump w/ clutch?

Looking for the one on the left:

haha that small blasting cabinet is awesome

Still looking for a fan.. and clutch. Or just a fan and the pulley.. Ni10 might have one that'll work. I need to measure shit and figure it out.

Cracked open the Ospho.. brushed it on. Pictures are worthless... but here you go!!

It already started to bubble a bit... so it's working. But you can't see it in the pictures..

Next up.. either more sand blasting or I'll spray the ospho treated areas.. I need assemble the "blasting" booth again. This time it will be a spray booth..lol. Then I need to figure out if my cheap harbor freight HVLP gun is worth a shit for spraying primer. I'm such a HVLP noob..

Setup the blasting booth again.



Blasted some stuff then masked for paint


Sprayed Zero Rust DTM thinned 20%

Next steps..

Strip the entire drivers side rear quarter and spray with zero rust.
knock out some dents in the quarter
Filler and block
Epoxy primer

Once it's in epoxy.. I might leave it there until after Canby. We'll see how much time I've got.

Also my HF HVLP gun sounds like a dying duck.. I don't think that's normal.

Wow!!

That's looking tons better man. Keep it up. It's gonna look good just in primer alone

I was able to find a fan. It's a fixed blade with no clutch. Seems to be fine. I do like fan clutches though.. especially when you forget your wrench on the crank bolt. lol

I got everything back together today and was able to start it up. The engine still vibrates pretty good, even after installing new stiffer mounts. I'm not convinced it's running right. It's probably about 80%. I'll probably get it nice and hot and adjust the valves again and see where that gets me.

I have a HF HVLP gun.. but the tip is too small for spraying primer. Also the gun is really not that great. It functions.. but I wouldn't use it for anything but primer.. and since the tip is too small for primer.. it's not really useful.

That being said, I bought another gun today. The Devilbiss startingline with a 1.8mm tip:

When I do color and clear, I'll use a SATA.

Sata's are awesome

what do you think the engine issue is?

Fuel or valves. I'll get it toasty hot and compression test it again. Then adjust the valves if needed. If still crap... back to the fuel.

On the plus side.. I confirmed the weber I have is jetted for the l16. At least it's jetted to the weber baseline. I found the Jets were swapped from the primary and secondaries. So I fixed that. Still lugs from idle if you punch it.

More work to do..
