Of course, in the meantime, if anyone is breaking one in this colour (light green pearl) I could use a bonnet, NSF wing and NSF headlamp cover... Possibly more. This is meant to be two-tonetastic 5G7 light green over grey. It may just end up back in two tone....

No real progress today. Going to pull the interior so I don't set fire to it while I'm doing the sills....

Quality save! Love the way everything seems to be coming back to live without too much jiggery-pokery. The grot doesn't look too hideous either, considering it's been given zero attention for so long. Intrigued to see where you're going with this.

Trying to keep it simple... and cheap. Anyway, it already makes lots of noise and fire.

So, among many, many other things to do, I've finished the weldathon, fitted new rear antiroll bar links and started the fitting up to make this into a civilised vehicle. A bit of two tone action going on. ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2661_zpsduathyb5.jpg) And here ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2662_zpsmqn7l6mx.jpg) along with the slightly necessary front number plate. Roof has a partial makeover. I think it will be black as it kinda suits it. The dodgy paint areas look like this: ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2664_zpsu1ujfers.jpg) So anything is an improvement. Half the interior is in, small amount of electrickery to do, bonnet, boot and headlamp covers to paint.... Sent from my shower (yes, really) using proboards

S14 leather seats bolt straight in to these... not sure about the rears, never tried that but the leather is a cheap and easy interior upgrade if you haven't decided on seats already ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I picked up a pair when i had an S13 about 5 or so years back for 80quid i think, they almost bolted straight into my Datsun 710 too!

the front seats from an S14 bolt straight in, the rear bench sort of thing can be bodged in but isn't quite right... I had to bend the rear brackets down and weld securing plates in for the back of the rear seat base. The front fixings just required a hole drilling on each side and self-tapping screws driving into the holes. The seat back was a little more difficult as I had to relocate the catches by bringing them further in by about 40mm using a steel plate and a butt weld joint. For the hinged part I was able to use S12 rear seat brackets. I welded a nut in each bracket and welded the bracket to the back panel. The spot-welds on the panel didn't seem strong enough when I exerted force on the bracket so I added a small run of weld in the joint above the bracket. When You look at the seat fitted in position you can see the difference in width between the S13 and the S14 seats. I may be able to fill the gap by warming the side trims with the hot-air gun and bending them out sufficiently to fill the gap. Or if that is not possible I may have to make an add-in piece made from fibreglass. I have not painted the brackets yet as the seat and the side trims will have to be removed again as the side trims in the tailgate need to be fitted before all the other panels. www.silviagod.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/200SX_project.htmabove from SilviaGod's S13 project page....

This is not a restoration. This is not a restoration, this is not a restoration...... Anyway, whilst doing things and stuff today I've done more grey: ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2673_zpsed3v2whv.jpg) Yes, there's a dent in the front wing. This was from the tree growing into the side of the car over the 8 years it was sat. With two flat tyres on the left side and no access to inflate them, no way of getting a jack underneath etc, some damage was inevitable. Didn't really care at the time but a bit miffed now... ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2679_zpsa7sae6ew.jpg) Headlight poppy uppy covery painty: ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2681_zpsk7qnccux.jpg) You get the idea.

Well, just interior to deal with now, comfort and sounds. Fingers crossed it's watertight.... ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2701_zpsute9nacw.jpg) That'll do for today. Guess I'd better book an MOT. ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2458_zps08mrffy6.jpg) ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2486_zpstejwar2h.jpg) Sent from my HTC Desire C using proboards

Bad news and good news. Bad news, it failed the first MOT in 8 years. Good news, it only failed on this: ![](http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/ThE_sNiPeRs_PiCs/G499ATP/IMAG2718_zpss6geqwv9.jpg) Which I kinda suspected anyway but was itching to get it tested. On the road for the weekend though Yay. Sent from my secret lair using proboards
