The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
@ Winnie if you are spray can painting it, can I suggest that you heat up each
part to open up the metal a bit, paint sticks better too, a floor radiator is enough
Used this method on motor cycle tank.

Well I've again ditched the sand blasting idea because I don't want to have to strip all the bearings and the sand will ruin them. I will use a wire wheel to clean it.
In saying that I might still sandblast the lower housing and fill the needle bearing with wax to keep the sand out, there are too many tight spots that are full of dirt and crap that would be a nightmare even with a die grinder.
So the wire wheel will scratch it up nicely for paint. Not sure if I will need to use etch primer or not? Darren?
Come up pretty good with the wire wheel! Just need to use the sand blaster to get the hard to get bits.
