Car is looking much better in single color.

I sprayed stonechip protection and painted it over with silver Hammerite, close enough to the original color. It took me hours to strip old layers of under sealant and paint off so I'm quite pleased with the results.

And finally engine bay in primer. I ordered a can of 901 paint to paint it with so it will be all done soon.

I stripped the engine bay and it's almost ready for paint. There is still some of that sticky stuff to be cleaned off.

A small patch was required but nothing major.

Back home

I got the Datsun back home. On the way we made a quick stop at Kari's Garage to blast the engine bay with soda. It really saved days of cleaning it myself as it was covered with under sealant and some other sticky stuff. I wish it wasn't -20C so we could have blasted some more but it still was more than worth it. I'll probably take front fenders to Kari as well, they are covered with the same strange stuff on the inside.
