Darren-B's 1971 240z Project Pumpkin

[STEVE BURNS]

As Darren has been working his balls of on doing this and been to busy to keep the rebuild thread up to date on here there is a complete thread on the 350 site that covers in in its entirety
This Car has turned out to be amazing and is now almost complete and is having a debut outing this Sunday at the Woodman pub at Ide Hill in Kent
Considering it was only started in October last year it must be one of the quickest full rebuids that has happened
To view the rebuild thread visit
http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88297-darren-bs-1971-240z-project-pumpkin-major-update-p48/ it is a long thread that the rebuild starts after about 12 pages

this is the only picture I have managed export from the above thread which is a shame as some of the other snaps are fantastic

Ide Hill is not a million miles from you if you fancy seeing it in the flesh
I know also that it will be up at the Lakez meet at the end of the month

Ide Hill is near Sevenoaks
Must admit it did look good and what amazed me was that the whole bare metal restoration was done before a new MOT was needed
I thought Terry was being quick on his but this was done in time warp speed

Didnt realise it was place

Oh yes, the speed of this has been quite shocking, impressive and depressing

Hi Guys

Well I know I haven't posted on here since I started the restoration but heres a quick summary of the work that I've done on the car.

The car was stripped down to a bare shell, restoring parts as they were removed

Looking awesome Darren! I bet it felt good to be getting the paint on that shell. I can't wait for that stage!!

Nice job, but my OCD kicked in when I saw your front indicator repeaters. I might have to sneak up on it with a screwdriver...

 

[SeanDezart]

I'd have thought my Count, that you'd have been more shocked by the insertin of the Porsche seats.....

Lovely job overall Darren.
