Coming on a treat. Nice paint job - I like the colour.
love the colour, it's laid down perfectly...
Can see the effect Stefan, looks very nice
Applied some light panel liner and the home-made decals, some of which gave me problems but eventually I am happy with them. They are quite fragile so cleaned the spray booth in preparation for clearcoat tomorrow.
The 1:1 bakkie ( same as pick up in UK and ute in OZ ) was actually sign written in enamel paint by a real craftsman and the reason for so much livery is twofold, one for advertising and secondly to help deter the car hijackers.

really love the sign writing..
really love the sign writing..
Why thank you so much, your comment is very much appreciated.
Superb work Stefan
Thanks very much.
That is looking excellent. The decals really bring the pick up to life.
Not a massive change, final clearcoat applied. Now to see if the photos upload.
Nice and shiny finish under the clear coat, it has enhanced the paint colour.
Looks amazing Stefan. Great finish!

Decals & paint came out great.
Well there have been some changes with the build ideas. It now has lowered suspension, Watanbe alloy wheels and a stupidly large exhaust tailpipe. The interior has been modified from the standard mud brown.
The reason for the changes was because I spoke to my brother in South Africa who was the main driver of the Datsun and he asked me to change it before casually mentioning he has inoperable stage 5 pancreatic cancer and a maximum of 6 months left.
Therefore it's a tribute build but as I am flying on Tuesday for an indeterminate time this will be the last update for some time. Apologies to Geoffers for not completing it in the time frame.
I will probably not be posting for a while but will try to log in and look at everyone's builds.
Bye for now. Thanks for looking and your kind comments.

Nice conversion work Stefan. Sad to hear about your brother's prognosis. I hope you get to spend lots of quality time with him in South Africa.
