Datsun 2000 Seat Repair

These seat covers from a Datsun 2000 roadster had some rips and tears, so Chip is installing new seat coverings prior to re-installing the seats.  Below are the new covers.

The seatbacks were previously done elsewhere.  I’ll try to get a picture of them once they are back in the car.

Datsun 2000 Update

The shocks are not installed yet, but the rest of the front suspension has been sandblasted, painted, and re-installed as it should be.  Chip also disassembled, blasted, and painted the rear suspension and changed the existing bump stops out for a more appropriate size.  Coupled with the shock adjustments, the ride will be so much more compliant.

Here’s a look at the nice coil and plug wires, among other things.  The new coil is able to reliably handle 12 volts, rather than reducing 12 volts to around 8 like the old one was doing.

Cleaned up rear shackle and new bump stop.  We’ll keep the site up to date as we continue the progress.
