Project Datsun 120y (B310) 1982 in Karachi

Fabrication of lower side of rear quarter panel

[sayedarsalanali]

Wasn't able to visit the car during working hours as was focusing on the '79 one today. But went to see the progress status on the car around 10 PM, as it was very dark, didn't take any photographs.

The quarter panel piece being prepared in the last post is now grafted on the car and looked really nice in the dark, hopefully would look same in good visibility conditions.

looks right.
which metal gauge size did you used?

[sayedarsalanali]

Don't know exactly but on visual observation I think its 18 gauge or thicker, as it is much thicker compared to the general metal sheet that comes on replacement door skins for suzuki cars.

Does the fabricator have panel-specific moulds or are these beaten on a jig compared with an existing part for reference?

[sayedarsalanali]

Compared with existing parts

Work ongoing on the rear quarter panel. The level of detail on work by the denter is impressive.

Waqai restoration

[nnabeel]

This guy is doing a perfect job, i guess if paint remover was used, then the dentar has much cleaner body to mend.

Lets hope he always do the jobs as he is doing right now.

[sayedarsalanali]

If all this goes well, we will have a professional denter in our access

The work is going smooth and I must admit that this one will turn out to be better than the first datsun that you're restoring.

[sayedarsalanali]

Hope this car gets completed properly and timely as it has its duties to perform my brother's university has restarted and now I am already short of one working car at home.

Wasn't able to take proper photographs of the car during the last few visits. Took the following photographs in dark

[sayedarsalanali]

Car is nearly complete from the right side except the finishing of roof edge. New strips of metal sheet are installed on the whole roof line, shaping and denting is in progress as per the denter.

Now one of the denter has moved to the lower side of rear valence, while the main denter is working on the roof.
