Datsun Front Frame Rust Repair Part 1/2

[@donwest5387]

I used a 5/16 hole saw for the spot welds on mine (510)

Hell yeah man, getting stuff done! We're at a pretty similar spot with our S30s. That first section you cut out, what even is the point of the outer panel? I have to replace one side soon. I'm just not sure why nissan added that there.

You know I caught myself asking the same question. Maybe during testing they found it was a high stress area and decided to double plate it. Tying in the fender apron to the frame rail twice.

@automotivemindset yeah that could be. When I get there in a few videos I might see if it's worth strengthening it even further with some thicker plate or something.

@@BLOKgarage a tube from that plate to the kick area would probably work 😄
