Hi Petit Caillou, Nice one - can I ask you a quick one please, I am rebuilding my MQ 160 Datsun Safari from the ground up too. Everything is stripped to the last bolt & nut, I am thinking of cold galvanising the chassis (paint brushing it on), after sanding it down to bare metal, what do you advise, I see you just painted it? Thanks and well done on the rebuild, it looks great. Rgds
Hi prophet1,
Thank you for your message,
You have severals choise for the chassis.
you can remove the rust from the wire brush, spend a rust converter and paint,
You can do sand the frame, then apply a special metal paint
You can do sand the frame, apply an anti-corrosion epoxy powder + in the oven 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then an epoxy powder (for color cover) and then put in the oven 450 degrees for 20 minutes. (that's what I did for mine)
You can do the sanding frame and apply a cold galvanizing, galvanizing should be in a perfectly degreased metal. In general galvanizing requires Adobe crossing the room in baths. Hot dip galvanizing is not recommended because the temperature is about 800 ° and thermal deformation are important.
Best regards,
Petit caillou.

WOW, just wow!
WOW this is exactly what I said when I saw the amount of rust, there is less and less I'm progressing every weekend to the exit, this is a big job but it is very trainer.
I would send pictures depending on the progress ...

A very big project mate but one that is bound to give you an enormous sense of accomplishment, not to mention pleasure, once it's completed.
That seems like way too much work for me. But wish my old man did it with me. Keep the updates coming, still a lot of work to go, can't wait to see the end result
Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
