As I'm waiting for suspension parts to arrive, some from Germany, I am prepping undercarriage, trunk, and parts ready for reassembly. I decided to apply two coats of paintable, rubberized undercoating under car and in wheel wells (only 1 coat in photos below). I used seam sealer first to seal all areas in need. I plan to paint the underneath with Sahara car color. The trunk was in decent shape and I spend some good time cleaning it out with degreaser, and hot soapy water. I treated the areas of rust using the POR15 system and it seems very solid.

Gas tank came out and it turns out the dent in the bottom damaged the sending unit somewhat. The sending unit had a slight bulge on the bottom and I had to force it out. I straightened the tank using the rubber handle of a hammer and gave it a good 6 or 7 blows. The sending unit now seats properly and can be locked in place whereas before the sending unit was bottoming out on the dent and would not seat and lock properly.

Received beautiful stainless brake lines from Ireland Engineering... Really nice product! Photos are worth a 1000 words so here you go...

oh, I am having the dual Weber 40 DCOE's completely revamped and take a look at the sweet linkage setup my go to Datsun 240Z guy is putting together...
