the510keeper Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Andrew came up for a weekend of fun and got deep in to this 4 door, It was easier to scrap the paint off the roof then sand it off (it's a bad repaint) Once scrapped, then bondo hogged Also welded up some rot on the lower rocker More to come 2 Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 HAHA I figured Atom would at least have washed it before he drove it down. Glad it went to someone that will make sure someone will enjoy it, but damn my backyard is already looking bare since a couple Dimes have left now.....I should restock some maybe. haha Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 We skipped a few picture taking steps but here it is, thanks to everybody who helped get this done. We painted it in satin white Makes it look like it was just pulled from a barn after 20 years. Yes still has dents and dings. The chore of putting it completely back together, a hour her and an hour there Finished blacking out the floors and wheel wells Coilover time 280zx struts shortened to fit rabbit inserts, Victory got involved. We also decided to break out the plasma cutter and round off the 280zx top hats instead of making them triangle Windows in with new rubber Johnny to the rescue on the wiring Some seats Quote Link to comment
