A bit of an update. Not a glamorous project, but coming together and should meet the goal of being a nice driver.
I've decided to give the interior basically a complete restoration. So after many hours of prep I finally got the interior painted. I used a paint I heard about on this board, that it was a good match for the original Fawn. I used Dupli-Color Nissan Sunlit Sand. Here is a before:
And after:
I think it came out pretty good. All other metal interior items have or are going through the new blast cabinet. The brake and clutch pedal bracket and steering column support bracket are installed after going through the blaster and then getting a good black semi-gloss paint job. The brake pedal is the only one going back in. I've decided to go with the 700r4 automatic.
