Here we go again Derricks 260z restoration

[candy red]

So here’s a little bit more chopped out and re-made and welded in

 

[candy red]

It's a shame we won't see the details of the work from Andy, like we do from yourself, but needs must!

I have asked Andy t send me pictures so hopefully it will still help people

 

[candy red]

So a couple more areas to be removed and replaced

Now done

I‘d gathered he was fast but one minute for that!….

So many cars 'stall' during projects or when at a bodyshop. Glad to see this one progressing nicely, like it did with you too Derrick.

Thanks Rob yes this is coming on nicely now will keep the updates coming

 

[Ian]

Coming on nicely. Certainly much quicker than RestoShack, which means much cheaper too. Probably should have opted to go with Andy for mine.

From what I can see they are both fantastic. Andy perhaps has the S30 knowledge over RestoShack. Not a lot to do on your's now

 

[Ian]

Yes, can't knock the work of either at all. And for sure Andy is quicker because he has massive experience with S30s whereas Dave has never done one before mine. But I can't help feeling like an idiot for spending what I have on mine, and doubt enters your mind when the bill gets that big with still much more cost to come.

A bit more done by Andy

A few more updates from Andy
So he’s tried to line up the rear quarter panel and it doesn’t lineup with the new outer sills I put on so ordered some new ones from klassicfab.
Thought maybe I had done a crap job of putting them on but Andy assured me everything I’d done was correct it’s just the new sills I’d put on were shite and not the correct shape anyway the new ones are now in place

 

[candy red]

Also cut the inner petrol panel bit not sure of it’s proper name and the small piece that goes over the badge/vent and welded to inside of rear quarter panel

 

[candy red]

Trial fit of rear quarter panel soon all to be welded on so looking good

Can you imagine trying to sort that out yourself? It's coming on nicely Derrick.

Never really thought about whats on the inside of those emblem vents, i guess jet washing on the outside of it would be a big no no then!
