260z Restoration - Let's get started

[Pondo]

I think these cars look great in green, want to see the rest of the car in paint to now. Exciting I bet to see all that hard work coming together.

 

[Paul Henley]

Mate I love that colour, the cars gonna be stunning!!

 

[Wally]

I think that's a great choice in colour. Green really does suit these cars.

Here’s a few more pics from this weeks progress. Most of the internal panels and door shuts are done now. Next week should see the top coat on the body and panels.
It’s all looking good, the paint looks fantastic with a real change in shade depending on the light.

 

[Paul Henley]

Coming on great mate, love the colour.

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

That’s looks so right.

 

[Turn & Burn]

That’s looks so right.

Thanks, still nervous having gone with a colour that’s so far from the norm.

Nothing to worry about IMO. I think it's stunning and will suit the car well. Looking forward to the exterior pics!

I don't think it is, its a great choice.

While you're at it, ditch the black interior for the butterscotch!

Choice is already made I’m afraid, black it is. I mentioned Butterscotch to my wife and she over ruled you all! ‘It’ll be like an old mans car’.
The seats went away last week to get re-trimmed, probably a couple of months before I see them again, but hopefully they’ll look a bit special in a standard style.

Black's the right colour for s30 interiors.
Butterscotch!

I don't disagree with black - BUT ... Butterscotch with this green would be even better then black!

(Mine's white by the way)

Sorry Mike, but I do disagree - IMO butterscotch looks sick - but not in the modern 'good' way ! Sorry to all those with that interior ! Personal preferences and all that.

Looking great so far, will be good to see this colour on the body.

Agreed.

 

[uk66fastback]

I love those ... I can see it isn't a 'modern' interior colour though.

Guess I'm just not a fan of darker interiors. My 944 has cream linen. And the fastback was a colourful choice ...

Just had a few teasers from the paint shop.... it looks amazing

All done and it’ll be home tomorrow...All I want for Xmas is a Z

 

[Seikoking]
