That is the same as mine on the original engine from chassis 00134, compliance plate dated 11/70.

We have the 'Z Police' for that. They stop you and count the spotwelds on your radiator support panel. God help you if you've got the wrong type of screws holding your cowl finisher down...

On episode 5 of rust hunters we find some more bog on bog hiding some mint repairs Started digging around today for more problem spots on the Datsuns body work. Both bottom sill panel panels had some nice rust repairs in the bottom dog legs that was covered with generous amounts of bog. Bout 5-8mm thick if not more in some places. The drivers side has probably one of better looking repairs on the front of the sill near the inner guard. The previous repairs will need cutting out and replacing as well as some slide hammer action to pull out some off the warped paneling around the repairs. Moving on to each of the rear wheel arches only a small hole was found. The rear arches are in mint condition other wise, so no bolt on flares either cause everyone has them for those playing at home. Working my way down to the sides where the rear bumper mounts sone minor rust is working it’s way through from the inner boot floor section. A little bit of cutting, rust converter, weld through primer and some new tin and it will be sorted. The passenger side rear above the tail light has a slight dent and a bit of a hole that looks like it was an attempted repair but was just filled with bog as an easy fix.
