Although I wasn't able to find the previous posts I think I've read about painted bolts on these cars, this one has yellow bolts in the rear and a lot of the suspension bolts are yellow also.
Some appear to have been painted at the factory just being where they are, some of the other hardware I'm not so sure.

Good work with the sticker (Is that Dave again, Geez he's a good bloke!), and with getting mobile!
The guessing game is always fun - "Bellaye, Is it French?" - "Early Alfa?" - "Nah, mate, it's Japanese. Bill's dad had one o' them when we were kids, remember?"
Cheers.

I'm starting to powder coat.

I'll need a hubbie for the spare ....

Rear side windows couldn't be ignored, weather stripping shot and needing some rust control ...

hi mate have you got the tie town bolt for the spare wheel i have one if you want it .....postage ..who knows but its yours if you want it ...your doing well ..once it hits the road everyone will start top tell you where they know thers one than then you can become eagle isuzu ...usa (joking) keep it up cheers davo

sorry mate one other thing ask greg about the rear window rubbers etc hes been there done that cheers davo

nice work on the bellett, i love the 2 door sedan shape, shame we didnt see them down here in australia. Good to see her getting the love she needs!

Love your Car

I vote for the color it has -- looks good

Yellow perils wheels do come from a late 70's Toyota Corona

There's a tie down bolt for the spare? that does make sense .... appreciate the offer davo

window rubbers, these side windows I've got figured out ... but the front and rear screens, right now I am going to leave them in place, read soooo many post concerning this, I know to do it right i should remove them but .... for now they stay.

thanks
Mark

Pic of seat and belts .... belts have Mitsu logo on them?

Hi Mark,

PM me your address to send them to.
Cheers,
Lewis

HI LEWIS WHEN YOU SEND THE BITS I HAVE A WHEEL TIE DOWN FOR THE SPARE WHEEL FOR OUR O/S FRIEND I CAN DROP IT OFF TO YOU IF YOU WANT ...EMAIL ME REGARDS DAVO

PM's sent mates ...

I thought it was interesting the colour smudges on the back of what I assume is the tool bag holder ....

HI MARK SOMEONE TRYING OUT THE COLOUR I COULD BE WRONG BUT THESE ARE USED FOR THE HOLDING OF THE JACK ...HAVE YOU GOT ONE ? THERE SHOULD BE 2 BRACKETS AND THOSE STRETCHY RUBBER STRAPS TIE IT DOWN THEY SHOULD BE ABOUT 3INCHES OR SO LONG THE JACK THEN SITS TUCKED UP AGAINST THE BACK PANEL ???DOES IT MAKE SENSE ...THE TOOL BAG USUALLY SAT ON THE RHS IN AN ISUZU TYPE BLACK CANVASSY BAG WITH THE TOOLS TO DO A FULL RECONDITION ON YOUR CAR (NOT) HAVE A LOOK AT MY POSTING UNDER EXPRESSIONOF INTERST AND KERRY HAS KINDLY POSTED A PHOTO OF THE BAG AND CONTENTS IF YOU NEED A JACK LET US KNOW CHEERS DAVO

Hey Davo
yes they are exactly as you've described! so jack holder eh, (missing a jack here too) I'll work on that someday... and ive seen the postings on the tool bag, nice post that Kerry put contents of kit, yes part of a bucket list of sorts to get a tool bag put together ..

Thanks
Mark

hi mark while on the jack subject pretty heavy do you have a boot matt ? i have a spare somewhere here see how you go they are rubber based you can see it in kerrys tools photo cheers davo

those paint smudges look very much like colour tests that a panel shop would do when custom mixing paint to get a perfect match to the existing colour....
seen it a thousand times, and is a telltale sign of at least one repaint.

mitsu seat belts... i've never seen them in an aussie delivered Bellett, but our cars aren't the same model as your's Mark.
having said that, the mitsu diamond symbol can be found in other places on original Bellett stuff too as they shared common parts when new.
brake parts are 1 area that comes to mind.

cheers.

damn how many manufactures did Mitsubishi have deals with? early colt sedans shared the body with prince 4 cylinder skyline (pre nissan take over)

No no no no no......wrong wrong wrong wrong!!!!!!!!!!!



Sorry to post off topic and apologies to BELLETTPR10 for hijack of his thread so to speak, but i've gotta let cdtpf60 know that his information above is totally incorrect.

Prince Skyline S50 was made by Prince Motor Company and Mitsubishi Colt 1000 (i presume this is the model you are referring to) was made by Mitsubishi!!!

Similar in appearance, but quite different...Must admit - I am fastidious about early Prince/Nissan/Datsun history and will generally pick the bones out of most things written about Prince on the internet (cause nearly everything written that i have seen other in 'real literature' has components of the 'story wrong').....but this is the first time i have ever seen this written......

Don't want everyone getting the wrong information at all.......
