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:
Not trying to upset anyone Rob just trying to bring some rejuvenation to the forum
I'm sure someone said '' keep the pictures coming '' Richie is to long I the tooth to worry about me besides the more pics and info a perspective buyer can get is for the better yes, I bet Richie looks at the bottom of the doors more closely of his next perspective purchase As for the hard to get places Richie Morbias beat me to it but I use brass wire wheels in a cordless drill and roloc pads in an air tool

I was only joking Terry, your 'build' and resto. threads are fantastic.
It just shows what an advantage a dry weather state is for keeping cars rust-free. I was out in my 370Z the other day and got BLASTED by the gritting lorry - outrageous. I have a couple of small paint chips now, the force was ridiculous. The councils were on the internet the other day saying how prepared they were for the snow and how many tons of grit/salt they have to shower us with.
Rich, that front spoiler is def. that - a 'spoiler' it dominates the appearance of the car.

That's the only pic I've seen, although judging by the bronze colour of them, what you can see of the spokes, and the lip, I reckon they are Watanabe R-Types on the back.
Edit: just found another pic. Confirmation - Watanabes:

Agree - looks awesome. Really starting to like the lime green too. Pretty radical for the early 70s.

Looking great Terry, following your build with interest.
The pads you used to remove the paint appear to be a great alternative to blasting.
How did you approach the inner door area? Did you just scuff it up rather then remove the paint and then epoxy primer it? (Virgin bodyman trying to make sense of it all...!)

Nice. Cool colour.
Lots of in-paint and post-paint pics needed!

You never specified colour Richie
spent Wednesday and Thursday night prepping the wings and bonnet best that I can and then epoxy primed them ready for the high build 2k primer filler, then soot pad and block back next week, now don't be fooled that the filler is for rust repairs its there to get a straight and spot on panel fit
note the wings 2k epoxy primer inside and out luverly
