So 1st off on the interior, the dash was stripped to see how bad it really was under the vinyl was carpet...

...which was hidding a really badly cracked dashboard, this was sent of to be recovered in black vinyl.

Also sent off the backboard to be recoverd along with the dashboard. It was made of fiberglass so no real damage there.

Had to source some special brackets to hold the backboard down.

So while the interior stuff was send for recovering, the wiring was done, battery now located in the boot, we had to run power cables to the front.

Dashboard required new switches, could not locate capri switchs so used MK2 escort switches as they are the same size.

Engine bay wiring was refitted and cleaned up and encased in plastic sleeving, new plug leads fitted.

Fuse holder cleaned and repainted. Also replaced the shocks, so repainted the strut tops...

...and put new alan-key bolts to match those on the heads.

The rear brakes where jamming on one side and leaking on the other. The plungers where leaking on the driver side.

The passenger side had a siezed adjusting nut which caused the pads to jam.

Bought some new brake cylinders, matched them to datsun laurel cylinders, they still need to be fitted.

Trim panels for the dash being rubbed down, holes need to be fixed and then reprimered and resprayed black.

Oil pressure pipe needs replacing, as it was badly damaged.

The dash was put back piece by piece after the electrics were all tested and working ok, used vinyl spray to repaint the indicator stalk, steering cover and passenger side dash facia.

Interior light, headlights and fan hookedup.

Pedals were removed and cleaned, and the pedal stalks where cleaned and repainted.
