Awesome restoration.

Now it's looking so fresh, what are your plans for it?

As its not worth a fat lot im just going to keep it till it turns to a pile of iron oxide dust then sweep it up into an urn and display it on the mantlepiece with a brass plaque saying RIP 3fiddy zee 2003 till xxxx.😜

On a serious note i have not really gave it any thoughts about the cars future,but it needs to make room for my next project

A 1999 Hayabusa with 15k miles from new,parked up in 2004 when my old man bought a brand new Suzuki B King then suffered a stroke.

Absolutely amazing the finish you got doing all that work yourself, looks epic - very well done. More pictures out in the day light also when can.

First time in ages the cars seen daylight.

THE LAST UPDATE

Apart from the usual service items and maintanence the car is complete

gave it a wipe over with a damp cloth and i have to admit the 350z is looking good for a twenty year old car

Thanks for the comments and encouragement guys💖 

Satin black looks more like it.

Twas stuck like shite to a blanket,had to sand it all off.

Previous owner liked the fake carbon fibre look

not my cup of tea.

Dont look to bad,a bit of 3000 grit may have it looking half decent.  

Time for some "Smart repairs"me thinks

Done the research and purchased a spray gun(about a tenner from China)

UPDATE

Got a few paint burns on the second pass with the mop☹️

Youtube makes it look so easy1

Truly amazing work there and she looks clean and tidy underneath also.

Thankyou sir,underneath apart from a crusty heat sheild that sits above a kidney is in great shape.  

A couple of before and after pics of the rear arches which date back to Sept last year.

Excellent what a great job when look at the conditions your working under

Yeh, poor old me having to work in a fully equipped air conditioned and heated 1200sqft garage with its own fridge full of beer,loud music(deaf neighbours)hydraulic ramps,private access and women are invitation only,all just 10yds from me backdoor.😛  

UPDATE

All back together 

Flat and polish is next on the agenda.

UPDATE

Must be getting the hang of this 2K painting Lark as managed to base coat and clearcoat both sideskirts within a single evening😎

All bodywork is now done😲

Progress so far

Wings are on,headlamps are fitted as is the front bumper.Rear bumper will be fitted Tuesday evening after work.Waiting on some Sundries to paint the skirts. 

UPDATE

Sideskirts need more than just a scuff up with some Scothbrite,DOH! 

Looks like they have Chickenpox.
