Hi everyone
With the sun out I've been out getting the 260z 2+2's frame / chassis rails down to bare metal.
Apart from the underside, there isn't a much rust around the rest of the car. I've had her for 12 months since she came over from Cali, so most of the rust seems to be surface level (one small patch that's eaten through - on the pic below).
The rails have plenty of dents on them, I imagine from being jacked up plenty of times / maybe being moved by a forklift while in the US?
I'm hoping you can give me some honest opinions on whether they're totally shot, ok to prime and spray, or alternatively if a set of strengtheners / cover over rails (I've heard people chatting about the Bad Dog ones from the states) would be a good idea.
I've done a load of research online but would really value some peoples thoughts please. Be brutal if needed
