My 260Z Restoration
Hey Guys!
I've had this car about a year now, and although I've not done much too it I thought I'd let some of you guys know what was going on with it if any of you are interested in the old Zcars!
Following a vast amount of cocking around before getting this car, (See here: http://zclub.net/forum/new-website/2...y-2-2-a-2.html) I finally managed to get it home and have started to do some work to it.
Its a 1978 260Z 2 seater. Its pretty solid body wise. The rear arches are starting to go and there is a hole in the drivers floor pan that has been badly patched. The inner wings are pretty sound though, as is most of the engine bay bar the rad support panel and bonnet support panel.
Anyways, here are some photos!
Just after picking it up!
Safely back at my garage
Starting the stripdown!
After removing the panels I started to strip the interior:
And start taking the loom out of both the engine bay and the interior. This was scary stuff for me! Everything is labelled using white elec tape and a perm marker ready to be installed again once the shell has been worked....
Engine bay with the loom stripped. The car was originally white, but someone has very badly painted it red in the past! I think it will go back to white when I come around to getting it painted....
