Just a couple vids waking around the car on a sunny day to show how the 3 stage pearl changes to yellow when bouncing off sunlight.

It's quite amazing.

One of my favourite 50 on here ..... Very well modded !! What charger are you running? Any engine bay shots ?

Vortech v2 charger with plenty goodies. I can tell this car was very well looked after and build tremendously.

Only problem is the previous owner had let her down, he owned her for about 6 months, and cosmetically ruined it, including the engine bay which I'm embarrassed to show until it gets my full attention.

You see he rattle canned every thing black, and I mean everything! Washer bottles chassis plate the lot!

Such a great location for a shoot. With the orange being a huge contrast. Is that paint or wrap? Looks awesome!

Ye the location is actually next to my house the old Haig's whiskey distillery, the place is pretty big.

It's paint, lotus chrome orange, I'm a spray painter and have been working on this since early June, she's not long out!

Zed looks very nice.

 

Best bet is to have a good look through the 350Z members build threads, ...you might just find it. I did have a look for you but couldn't find it easily so gave up sorry.

Thanks, well its my second rainy Sunday so looks like this time I'll be scanning the threads.

Thanks guys. Absolutely fallen in love with her.

I realise you you guys seem to like pics on here so thought I'd share what I got up to last Sunday,

Last minute thing and the weather was miserable, so what better is there to do?

Going to get another shoot organised on a sunny day as its 3 stage pearl and needs sunlight.

Also I have been told a previous owner made a build thread of this car on this forum, if anyone can shed any light on this it would hugely appreciated.

Anyway the photos.

Yeh! It's pretty mad. Not over the top cheesy flip paint, just the yellow pearl flakes reflecting.

Now you just have to retrim the interior so it doesn't clash

Another excuse to spend money in the future I'm sure. It's not as bad a clash as I thought it would be but would still be good to go black.

Closest colour is the last rear pic

My phone seems to pick up more of the yellow in the colour so its actually a bit more orange in real life. Under florecent light its very yellow, in the sun the 3 stage looks incredible and under overcast its very orange.

Organising a photo shoot with a photographer soon after I get the windows tinted and new exhaust tips.

Can't believe the hundreds of man hours iv put into her. The girls losing her mind over me doing crazy hours on her for the past 3 months.

But I had a goal in sight and I would settle for nothing less than perfection as my reputation as a painter lay on the finish of my own pride and joy.

Hey guys. It's been a while since I posted, purely because iv been hard on this car pulling hundreds of man hours and spending 35 hours a week on top of my 45 hour work week all to get her right.

And she's done!! Just finished her today and she's out! I'm over the moon.

I'll post up photos soon.

Im thinking about doing the wheels, handles, front splitter, rear diffuser and roof a dark anthracite, maybe vauxhaul 107 anthracite, I think the mix of black and anthracite may not be quite right.

Just a scan through piston heads and about 85% of them are grey so not doing that.

As for the handles I know its killing me, either black or colour coded orange

I agree, I keep going back to thinking should I stay safe with gun metal and then the guy on my other shoulder is shouting don't be a boring bugger.

Would you guys buy a bright orange supercharged 350z, cause even I'd be unsure.

Also I feel its hugely important to keep resale value as a priority in this decision, for that is a bright colour like orange a gamble?
