Datsun 510 Driver's Floorboard Replacement (Pt 1) (Ep# 14)
I have been unsuccessful so far in getting a new stock fan for the car, and like an idiot I pitched the old radiator and fan shroud (I know I am an idiot). Somewhere in the past few weeks i replaced the radiator, but forgot to note the time and date. As I wait to find the fan I decided to replace the driver’s side floorboard and perhaps the rocker panel (as it is completely rusted out in the rear)
To Do (Daily):
☑ Remove interior
☑ Start removing sound deadening from drivers floor board
1. The carpet and seats removed easily. I put them in a box to get them out of the way
2. The sound deadening removed with a chisel and a hammer fairly easily
Remove the large portions with a hammer first
Then use a wirewheel to clean up the last of the remnants if you want my opinion on the best way to do this in an efficient manner
Remove the undercoating with a wire wheel
CAUTION: You Should always wear eye protection, breathing apparatus, and hearing protection when operating a wire wheel or sander (i have been coughing up some nasty crud, be smarter than me)
Note: Looking at the situation it is clear to me that I will have to replace the frame rail as well on the drivers side it has given up the ghost and is not doing its job.
Project Log (13 Aug 18):
Drivers Floorboard removal continues, I have removed ~90% of the drivers floorboard, broke my spot weld drill bit in the first ~5 minutes will have to buy another. I have been using the cut off wheel on the 4.5” angle grinder. I have been attempting to be very careful in how I cut and operate the cut off wheel in these close spaces it would be very easy for me to hurt myself a TON.
