Apologies for the lack of updates. Turns out selling your house and moving abroad is time consuming! This little lot will bring us up to date
Chopped out the boot floor because it wasn't in the greatest of condition and isn't the right shape for the custom fuel tank
New boot floor sections welded in
Raised mounting panels for the 240Z rear lights - made from scratch as always.
Slam panel reinforcement going in before the slam panel is fitted on top.
Hand made slam panel gives a cleaner line (no seams) and is stronger than the original
Here you can see the raised lamp mounting panel to fit the 240Z rear lights, and also the reinforce section we have made to strengthen the boot striker area. The plate sits between the slam panel and rear panel, and all three spot welded together. Two sections were then slit, bent down (with return edges added) and spot welded to the rear panel to add further bracing, similar to the original.
