SO my dad s had the car for about 25 years and 2 years ago he gave the Z to me. I had started doing little minor fixes to get it all working perfectly again. Then i decided it was time to pull it apart and paint it. what i thought to be a year long side project turned into 2 years and counting.
Heres some pics in relatively the order ive worked in.
when i first started
The first day i decided to start doing bodywork
what looked like a clean fender
ended up finding a nice bit of rust that needed patching
rocker needed some help as well
caused by a leak in the hatch somewhere
patched the fender(did ok for my first time but it still rough)
then it looked like this
until i decided to ditch the side markers
also ditched the molding that came with the car(stripe was just to cover up the bare metal,its ugly i know)
got the 240z wheel to work with the 280z hornpad
then i POR15 coated the rust that was on the inner fenders
now they look like this after a few coats of spray on rubberized under coating
And these are the last pics since ive worked on it last wednesday
oh and inbetween all this i used glass stain spray to do this
Thought it looked pretty cool
ive done some more to it i just dont have pics but ill take some and keep you guys up to speed
