Hi everybody!!!

This is my first post, I'm from Portugal and I'm very proud to have a Datsun!!!
I hope I can learn and teach some stuff with you!!!

Now the story of my RENEW B110!!!

My 1200 was bought on November 2004, and after that it broke 3 differentials!!!
The car apparently looks very good, but the true is that he was not that good!!! Some paint problems, engine troubles, rust problems and many other things!

I painted for new, but after some years I understood that I've nada a big mistake, so I will give Him a second chance, eternal life, as you can see by the photos...

My project is for renew the old parts, fix him from about the problems and of course, lead it to the closest possible to the original!!!

I hope you enjoy it as I...

Today I'll put the photos from the other day and then I'll keep ths post updated!!!

Datsun Rules...

This is the only I'have got from where the car was...




Engine repair, yet with the original paint!

























Then I painted like this!!!
In the beginning it looked vry well, but...
The interiors were not the correct ones, and now they are being restored!!!




















This is a front view with some parts gone...reday to go to the bone...sorry, screw!!!



One little thing to repair, the car was crashed in this place!!!



No problem here...





This seat support was broken...now corrected...



In the back!!!





Some holes...soon will be fixed





And the problem that originate the differential to broke, from side to side, the wheels were 2 cm's different itselves!!! here a sign of crash!!!

But look, all the bodywork shrinked...





And again...



More holes...









This one is nerar the front window...



This was the worst part, look at my B110 without lamps...all had been cutted off!!!







The handbrake support was broken too!!!



On the back window, only rust, nothing to worry about!!!


And now, one rebuilt part!!!








And the doors...it seems nothig bad...but you will see...you won't believe it!!!








And a side view!!!

Hello Everybody!!!
Thank you for the comments!!!
Today I’ll show you the car in the stretch machine!!! It was very bent from the left wheels to right whells!!!




This zone stretch 2 cm’s...



And now this part all corrected!!!

Before...



Then...



Now a good news, the right side of the back was  rebuilt...and look at the perfection...all handmade...the man is art!!!
But look at the imagens…

Before...


Then....







The interior...






At the end, the right side new...




And now the left side...





The left side almost complete!!!
It is visible some union points because this part was made outside the car. Firs was cut and then rebuilt!!!








This is a middle stage, when the new part is founded with another...sooner we will see the results!!!





The interior already treated with gravel to avoid the bodywork affected with rocks and mud…








And now one of the worst parts, the wings!!! You Will see…

Fibre was covering the wing...and I mean a lot!!!



The bak, not bad...only rust, nothing to worry about



Well, this is critical...but no problem...



Another crash covered with fibre...



And these are the áreas that will be reconstructed...



In this one, the rust consuming all the body…



And that’s all for today!!!
I hope finish the project on the next November, because it started on the previous November…I think one year is enough to rebuilt a car!!!

Nice work indeed. Did you manufacture new rear wheel arch by yourself, or can you buy them from local parts dealer?

Datsunbat

Hi Mikko!!!

No the arch was made my mechanic, it's handmade, and later I'll show you how he do it!!!

It seems very simple for someone like him - OLD SCHOOL -

I think it isn't easy to find such a part!!! I suppose...

Thank you!!!

When I arrived Sr. Vitorino garage thye car was like this...



The back side almost ready...but it still needed some work to be tottaly repaired...


Sr. Vitorino making the crease...



And here the Job almost done...


Finishing this part...







Inside the trunk, the part has the anti-corrosive treatment...



Finally the crease done...



A curious thing...no rust in the ceiling after taked the curtain (I don’t know the name, I suppose it’s curtain)


Now let’s move to the trunk...it’s plenty of rust…









Let’s return to the front wings, and here the parts are all “naked, no paint and no fibre...ready to be repaired...


The left wing has some rust...







While on the right wing a metal part is separated to be rapired. It’s the back os the structure…




And now guess what is this???
A mice nest…they travel long miles with me driving…eh eh eh !!! Perhaps they had a casket or something…

Hi again!

Thanks for all the comments!!!

Tero-75 - I reduced the size of the pictures...I hope it solve the problem!!!OK!!!

RKA - Yeh, that's true, I've got a spot welder, and because it helps fixing the panel to the body!!! It's a one point join of metal!!! It's also used in the construction of the cars...and a nice tool of work!!!

Zili - Thank you. My mechanic is an artist with his hands!!! And a very good person!!! He used to follow RENAULT GEST GALP TEAM all over the worl, firs with the RENAULT 5, then the 11 and last CLIO WILLIAMS, then he retired and solved to rebuilt and restore cars!!! Men like he did never die!!!


Returning to work, we have rebuilt the trunk door!!!
We separated the structure from the panel and it was all treated and metalized to prevent rust!!!
Here are the photos




The darkest part of the panel is some kind of a product to prevent rust, and just when it desapear both parts are putted together!









Now the car with new trunk!!!



The lowest part of the trunk almost ready...



The trunk inside!!!

Left side...





Right side...





And now the trunk ready...look at the white glue...its essential to avoid rust on the interior of the panel.



Both sides...





A traseira completa com a tampa da mala!



And the back ready...

Hi there!!!

I just want to remember that this work is not running at the real time!!! I started all on the last November!!! That’s why I’ve got so many photos!!!

Thanks for the comments!!!

This side almost ready...





The bumper was corrected and it’s ready to crome!!!



And now the chaufage for clean and rebuilt!!! The sponges are old, have some smell, and it needs to be clean!!!





These shock supports were bent, and we correct them...it happens because the car was crashed this side!!!







Now look what I found...the shock absorbers were not the correct ones!!!
Do you note any differences???? Maybe the problem whit the differential was Here, I don’t know bout with the supports bent, the shock absorbers wrong and the left side crashed it can be a possibility!!!

They belong right and left side...



Now take a look at the size????



They have 10 cm’s of difference among them!!
The problem was here, definitely…



Look at the new whells....they are a 1971 BWA, are Italian and aluminium compound…


When I bought them…







After they went to a repair shop...



The new centres for the wheels



All together...it looks pretty…I’ll put it the size  (175\80\12)




Thae chaufage was like this:







I started to rebuit it ....

It's good to use Spot Welding (like original).
Ewerything are very good example.
Only trunk lid cover, glued all around between support and cover plate..... You can see, when temperature change. Original, only few point are glued.
Anyway, very good job  :).

I restored the easy parts, and Mr. Vitorino the hard ones!!! Eheheheh!!!
In the garage we are now talking about the painting job, I’m in a terrible rush, I want my car back on the streets as fast as I can!
I’m bored without driving him!!!

Thanks you all for the comments made!!!

Today some parts restore…



The Datsun symbol...

And now look what  I found!!! My first Datsun 1200, my father bought it in 72…I talked the owner, but he doesn’t want to sell it back…it’s a shame…soon will be rusty and without restoration possible!!! Maybe during the night I’ll steel it…







And a surprise...while my car was in Mr. Vitorino garage, he finished this one!!!
It’s a TRABANT…600 cm3, 2 times motor…and much smoke…..it’s pretty!!!

Hi,
Nice work, and lot of hours.....
What's the colour number, and mark of paint? looks good!

mikko1200

Was this badge used on B110 in Portugal?




It's so nice to see somebody really restoring a B110. Not doing all the foolish modifications what you can see especially on foreign web forums (mostly US and Australia). How it is in Portugal in general, people modifying their Datsuns or keeping them original ?
1200-LB110, 120Y-LB210, 100A-LE10, 160J-JPL710, 180B SSS HT-KPL610, 1600-PL510

Hi!

mikko1200: You are right! This is not for 1200 deluxe!
But in Portugal, there were 3 models with this symbol, the 1200 S1, the 1200 Rally and the 1200 SSS (much rare), those used this symbol on the top grill on the right of the big D!
And there is also an explanation!
In the world there were 4 countries that build the car, Japan, USA, Australia and Portugal (there were more countries, but just to make parts together)! The limited versions like the previous ones, brought this badge!
And the American version, it had more symbols, on the side back (left and right) all said Datsun, and the grill one like this and the big D!
The Japanese, that is mine, only brought The big D...and the Portuguese, made in Movauto brought this badge too! With one exception, the S1 only had this one, and the rally both!

I want this badge on my car for a better styling!  You will see... It's pretty cool, but at any moment  can retire it!

Haven't you ever seen one grill with it?

Thanks for asking! You certainly are a big fan of 1200!!! This is a porminor!!!  But that makes a big difference!!!

In Portugal people often do some crazies things on 1200...like put some fibre elements, Changigng the cames shift, new cilinders, the master head is cutted in 1 mm for a better tax of conpression and so on! But in general, people love this model and the most part of 1200 restoration projects are to keep original!
Mine is an exception, because I'm making all at the porminor! People doesn't do things with such a work like mine! And I'm luky because Mr. Vitorino is a well known workmanship from the rally times! He knows lot of people and so I can find some rare parts and restore anothers and so on!
For example, my car until now it has all Datsun parts (Nissan), most people use generics...I don't see any problem, but a long time it can be!!! Some parts are good, somes aren't! And on our classics we must try to find the original! No matter if is a Datsun or a Ford and so on!
In Portugal I know lot of 1200 owners, and for incredible, they are as per original!

I'll put some pictures above!!!



Valpas: This is the metal colour! The car isn't painted yet! On the next post you'll see the colour!!!I can give you the reference! no problem at all!!!

PS: I'll post some pictures about this symbols on the 1200 and some of my friends cars!
