Wanted Anyone got a NSR door for a U11 Nissan Bluebird estate?

Buy yourself a big tin of easysand filler and a proper long sanding plain with 80grit sanding sheets to hook on to it. Detach the rear door handle to give yourself more sanding scope. Search for any high spots and tap them down gently with a flat hammer. Apply and screen filler over the whole area of the door and sand it with the plain in diagonal motions. You'll stand a very good chance of getting it very straight and ready for professional paint as you've done a very nice job of getting the worst of that damage out already

Nice work sir. On the fusebox front, I'll hopefully be in Eastbourne in a couple of weeks if that's convenient? In the Daimler, if I can get a few issues sorted...

Oh bloody hell, I completely forgot about that, I`ll get it in the next couple of days. Anything else you need? I`ve got a fair amount of XJ40 parts.

Thanks! I can do bodywork, its just I hate loading cars with filler, I generally only use it to do light skims over welds. I got it as flat as I could with my dollies, but its taken such a battering its stretched in a few places. I`m confident I`ll do a good job of it & will rustproof it well enough so it`ll last another decade or 2.

Hard to say at the moment. I think most things actually work, bar the heating and ventilation. A sunroof panel that isn't green would save some effort. Possibly central locking door actuators too. The central locking itself seems to be working, as the fuel flap locks and unlocks properly.

I`ve just watched your video, you are definitely one banana short of a picnic!

 

I have a sunroof (possibly in the right colour), as well as a full array of locking motors. Have you checked the wiring in the door hinge? Like most old motors, they can crack over time & leave you with locking/window/mirror control issues.

 

Heater panel isnt the same as the (pre-facelift) one I`m binning, but I might have one from a 4-Litre I stripped about 8 years ago, I`ll let you know.

 

I`m not joking, the one that I`ll be scrapping in infinitely better than that bodily, if you want the shell for scrap money you can take it, only thing is I`m in that there London.
