Lime 112 240Z restoration

I think there's a place in Canada where you can get a full set of stickers for not too much cash. Much cheaper than MSA.

GOING TO HAVE A DAY TAKING PANELS BACK TO BARE METAL, NEVER USED THESE PAINT REMOVAL WHEELS BEFORE, SEEM QUITE GOOD WITHOUT REMOVING ANY METAL





AT THIS RATE IT COULD BE PAINTED BY THE END OF JANUARY

Wonderful inner wings Terry. Slow down what's the rush.

Those strip discs are very useful. I bare metalled the NOS fuel tank I fitted earlier this year using them. Took no time at all and leaves the steel surface ready for paint.

Rob, no particular rush but beats doing cam belts and spending my life sorting problems out on modern stuff this is easy and satisfying

Richie them discs are even better at a slower speed I used one today on a variable power supply



Any one seen one of these electronic ignitions looks a bit factory but

More Yellow decided to see whats going on in the engine bay so took off the yank cool car satin black engine bay modification, has left a good substrate to prime and paint

 

[tel240z]

More stripping in the shop

[richiep]

Those discs go a pretty long way really. Looking very good.

Shiny! Do you have to be careful not to take too much off or is it pretty safe? Looks like fun

Fantastic work, this is going to be a beauty when its finished. Please keep the pics coming thick and fast

 

[tel240z]

yes richi pretty good two doors, tailgate, 1 wing 2 halves of the rear 1/4s and half a roof, got another 4 coming tomorrow

Z Nathan check the video out on the ebay link, they only seem to cut the paint and polish the metal, I will be putting the orbital sander across them before I prime them

Nothings changed for me in 33 years, still stripping paint from old Zs :lol:well I have and maybe the stripping process

Now this is why you need to buy from a sunny state

Terry, what are you trying to do upset fellow members (incl. Richiep).

Having owned one rusty 240Z (which still gave me immense pleasure for many years) I can understand your joy!

I'm moving on now Rob! The condition is fantastic though. Terry, how did you find getting into the corners like that on the door edges with the strip discs? I've only done a fuel tank with mine, which doesn't have particularly tight corners to get into.

I know you are going standard with this but browsing lime green Zs I saw this sexy thing, sporting my air dam of choice and looking nicely snug on its wheels:
