Str8_69 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 How far are you guys going with this and how much when done? Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 We are almost done, haven't decided on a price. Need to sum up what we have invested. This dime was sitting in a field when Vic and I picked it up. Now it's on its way to sitting n someones drive way, and being enjoyed. :) 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well there is still a few dents but damn this thing has come around. It will make a decent daily driver. We got a carbon fiber front apron reject from Dave and painted it, before paint I sprayed a texture chip guard on it to hide the reject of 100 pin holes. looks way better then the one that was on the car The finish will flatin out as it drys. I went with a low sheen to match the existing paint Now that the worst part of the car looks good, the good parts look ok Time to tackle the floors. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Floors are done, the ugly front core support got worked over to. Lowered it a bit more, one spring was broke, (so I went with that height), and there was a wheel barrel load of dirt in the spring pocket of the A arm. WOW WTF Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 New wheels and lowered her some more. Should I put the 280zx wheels back on it or leave these Started installing tailights and emblems. Looks like we might be painting the rest of the car. What use to be bad now looks good and what use to be good now looks bad. Damn it Jim Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Now that the bad areas look good, the once good areas look bad. So i figured I would put a day in to an old project. Working toward getting it ready to sell. We decided to paint the front clip and do some minor body work. Not getting into a full resto on this one but making it presentable. Most everyone i talk with about this car, has asked if the door damage got fixed, now i can say yes. The bolt broke almost everyone, I heated them up and out they came Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Beautiful I tell ya. Where's my phone call? Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Not to exciting here, Vic and I tag teamed the 0069, got some minor body work done and primer sprayed on the slut. Not going for perfect here just better. Quote Link to comment
