Its arrived V2.0 :)

[Alphabettispaghetti]

Oh thanks mate just when im trying to get mine to original silver!!!!

Kev, what I should have said is that there's already some nice sliver 240z's

I actually didn't mean 240's for me, just that i've had a run of silver car, I've always wanted an orange one.

Any news on yours?

My paint guy has a lot on so told him not to rush and we are on holiday soon so no worries!! When do you move? I was only joking with you mate!!!!

the front panel is normally painted black so that when you look through the grille you cant see the wires etc.

some do some don't your choice

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

I'll think i'll do it as per OE.

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

Well its now getting itself wet...














Its now got etch/primer/stone chip/3 colour coats underneath. Looks great in the primer(to me).

 

[Ian]

Its still got quite a way to go with the paint yet, the rest of the outside/panels etc etc. Then the hard bit will be having it in stowage till I get the money together to build a garage to build the car in

 

[AliK]

Wow! Build a garage for the car? Now that is true commitment!! And you can at least build to your requirements.

It'll be worth the wait! Hang tough.

Jason, you are making a great job of it.

Gearing - work out your gearing and my track car gearing and let me know the difference I had a 3.9 diff and 195/55/15 tyres. That was perfect for tracks and just a bit under-geared on the road.

My blue car has a 3.9 and 215/60/15 - that's a bit over-geared.

Both S14 gbox.

its a lot easier to fit the car up if you don't have any panels on it

Yes, however its not an option this time, it'll all be painted/lined up then i'll have to
take them off to rebuild the car at a later date.

 

[moggy240]

are they painting it with the panels on ?? I know its a good idea to line the doors up if you have taken the hinges off the door pillar as they can be a swine to get right

Thats the plan, get everything all lined up as good as it can be.

wooohooo....

There needs to be a special 918 meet when they're all done

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

There needs to be a special 918 meet when they're all done

just to see if any two are the same colour!

Took me ages to find paint that looked right to me, then its not the same as others have gone for.... 50 shades of orange.

Can't wait now, restripped the engine bay as the modern seam sealer didn't leave a nice finish under the paint, so then it fell behind a couple of e-types in the cue.

 

[SeanDezart]

Two-tone....cute !

 

[johnymd]

I really need to see a 918 orange in the flesh. When can I come visiting Matt?
