Hi mate the car is being done in section just cuz it would take to long to do in one and the panels ain't ready anyway.

I will be waring a air fead spray mask and I have a large fan at one end of the garage sucking out most of the over paint. 😉

Primer

Back end and under side first.

Then inside.

And engine bay.

And this one shows the finish from the gun.

No show car but it ain't too bad.

Busy weekend.

All of the bare steel sanded and etched primed.

And all the dust dirt cleaned out of the garage.

Just need to start sheeting the garage out make a paint tent ready for a blow over.

Went out yesterday and spent the last of my pay on all the paint. 😢

Fingers crossed paint this week.

Late one last night but made a good start on the floors. 😜

Needs some pressing in there now to tighten the panel but that's one side 90%.

Nothing on the car tonight but I've been soaking the engine in cleaning fluid this week so I dragged it into work and steamed it off. Came up pretty clean. 😋

When did 350z weight 1900KG ?!?!? lol... Mine is 1455kg haha

Did some research

Nissan 1634kg

Escort. 767kg

That's a difference of 867kg

Think my 900kg target is looking pretty good now. 😘

Looking good and great progress Are you painting the shell yourself?

Yep.

Stripped it all down again last night ready for prep.

And painted the rad and fan surround today.

Think a standard escort weight is about 1100kg. So maybe bit tight.
