Back on the wagon

So I finally got some more time on the Datsun over the past
few days. Friday I went down to my boss' house and used his
bead blaster to clean up some of the suspension pieces
(photos of those later this week). Today I needed to relax a
bit (for the reason read this blog post) so I went into the
garage and decided to pull the rear hatch off the car. I'm
going to try to get rid of all the extra parts I have in the
next week or two, and a hatch is one of the extras so I
wanted to get the one off the car. That process went pretty
quickly, and here are the results:
The blue one being the one I will be getting rid of, and the
brown one being the one I want to put on the car. After that
I started playing around with some paint stripper.Here's the
result of that.
I don't think I want to buy enough stripper to spray down
the whole car! That'll be a lot of chemicals, though it does
end up cleaner than if I went to completely sand the whole
car down. More work later this week.
