I installed a new fuse box and did some more cleanup of the engine bay. There is 49 years of Datsun patina on the under side of the hood. Fuse box transplant was successful and now all the electronics work. I’m going to order vacuum and heater hoses now. It’s a driver and I’m driving it!

I know you’re not from or near Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada :P

....but....I found this genuine leather, well-patina’d, very ‘60s/‘70s authentic Datsun dealer key protector from a long-defunct Datsun dealership that used to be in Bridgewater, near where I live while cleaning awhile back! The text is in a reflective gold script!

It must’ve belonged to my parents or grandparents at some point, though none of them ever owned a Datsun, as far as I know (grandparents were staunch VW, especially the vans...parents were staunch GM in their earlier days, though mom is not really picky anymore nowadays).

At any rate, it’s yours if you’d like me to mail it to you? :)

Cool! My car was sold in Bozeman Montana. I don’t have any interest in the key keeper but thanks for offering.
