RESTORATION OF THE NISSAN DATSUN 1200 : Carnversations restoration

[@peterkaniaru5490]

Quick tip Erick, to easily get the exact fit and minimize material wastage. Use a stiff carton or cardboard to first fit. With this you can cut and match with a blade then get a very good exact template for the final cutout from the sheets.

[@karanimwangi9117]

A pro tip👍🏿

[@kelvinmutegi2218]

this is very essential. Its called pattern cutting

[@vqeenjagi6127]

Measure twice, cut once..

[@johnlegacy6658]

Great content ! A playlist of these would do the 1200 justice.

[@Tmax1]

Gatwero ,Kagui.. This pickup used to save people from our village taking them to hosi, and it was used as hearse too those days 😊

[@ERICAUTOCENTER]

wow gone at the days 90s well done brother you've brought the remembrance of 1200 y

[@wokokow]

some advice: Safety first..... Please make sure your personnel wear dust masks when doing jobs like stripping paints using flap discs on the grinder making fine dust blowing allover the place and inhaling the dust. This will also apply to the painting stage. One of the reasons our jua kali artisans don't live long is because of occupational hazards brought about by lung damage. The other thing that cuts their lives short is physical injuries occasioned by accidents as a result of machines. At the very least, they lose limps, hands if not fingers and even eyes. An cutting disc once chopped off my cousin's finger after it flew off the angle grinder and almost landed on his forehead. Always make sure they wear gloves and eye protecting goggles when using these machines. The welder should also have appropriate eye wear and gloves. Secondly, this time not about safety. Try procure a mig welder for your next build. Gas welding has been proven to warp sheet metal and thus not recommended for car work these days. Otherwise I'm loving your channel more and more now that you are also doing restorations apart from car reviews. Good work.

[@nicholasnjogu2322]

Awesome progress Erick with a "CK", will follow the restoration of this kagui mpaka mwisho...and remember to buy the correct PPEs for your staff, Masks, gloves, wlding goggles etc

[@davidmwenda2235]

You guys r doing a great job but watch out on the safety of your mechanics,welding without proper PPE ....

[@josephnjoroge3092]

thank you wokabi i had eagerly waited for this second episode....you know sincerely speaking it's better to be interested on reviews of cars that you can afford rather than cars you only wait for a miracle to come, for example the Prado j 150 you recently reviewed

[@williammnyika3661]

Keep up with the good job Erick

[@rockerzkariuki5487]

Hello wokabi..could you kindly review the nissan sunny B12/B13/B15 either of them

[@RealTBTKenya]

The gatwero aka kagui is taking shape. Technically it's a farmers friend coz most farmers in rural areas own it

[@tomm487]

I would suggest welding some cross bracing on the door openings and the and joining both sides with interior bracing to form like a roll cage in the cab of the car before cutting out the floors and running boards to keep the whole car from twisting when removed and everything square during welding.
