That first pic is modern art Mr T.

The outline shape of a Z in 918 - white walls, and a new electric roller door by the looks of things. Just ordered one myself as it happens ...

And from the other way - an engine and the front of the car. Love it.

Now it's home it's time to set to work ... watching with interest - where do you start? Make a list on a whiteboard is what I did. if you put one up on those walls, you might never find it again though :(

Thanks dude! First job is to save for whatever room in house the Mrs wants redoing :lol:

After that, get it off the dolly and onto some wheels!

Looks great Mr.T.

Maybe put some carpet tacked against the wall by the doors.. Would be a crime to have a mishap. Just a thought.

Just about to start work on my garage conversion, clearing out atm. Insulation and plasterboarding goes in next week.

Could you let me know mats have you used on the floor?

Looking forward to more updates, would love to pop over at some point Matt.

Yeah was considering some little rubber strips. The floor was from https://www.klikflor.com

You're welcome to come and have a look!

Cool, thanks for the link.

That's great Matt, will pm shortly.

I hate people who let house renovations and wifes get in the way of builds:rolleyes:
haha... that's why I'm starting my garage conversion in the middle of the bloody winter!..

After 25 years I would have hoped I'd mastered the art of negotiation, but nope!...It's still a bloody mystery to me.:rolleyes:

Lots of shiny parts there Matt. Curious about the headlamp bowls though. Are they specific zeds ones as they need to be IMO.

Where did you get your genuine datsun parts and lights from?

Car looks great. Mine is in the shop going back to its original 918. I hope it comes out looking as good as yours

So. Almost 2 years since the last update!

The car has gone backwards - I wasn't happy with how it was progressing so sent it to a specialist who immediately pointed out the poor quality bodywork that had been done by the previous shop and hidden rust that had been ignored / caused by the previous work.
