As a few of you know, i was after a 350z project and bought a nice example from eBay for £2150 delivered to my door.
It was a crashed, Cat C car and a JDM import.
I am waiting for the guy i bought it from to send me the pictures, as stupidly, i was that excited i never took any pictures of it with all the broken bodywork on
Anyway....this is it mid strip
The damage was:
Wing
bumper
wheel
wheel assembly
nudge bar
headlight
radiator surround
wheel liner
headlight frame
for fun, i fitted:
leather interior and built my own loom for the heat and electrics
fitted a full Bose system (i think it's awesome!!)
fitted a UK pod for MPH and MPG
fitted a USB charger
carbon wrapped the centre console
wheel before
wheel after
i bought a 20" damaged wheel from Shpock for a fiver, cut a good piece out to the shape and size required, cut the damage out of the original the same shape and TIG welded away!!
this was a project to keep my mind occupied and have somethink nice to play with once done. I normally build motorbikes to occupy my mind but a 350z is an itch that needed scratching since they come out.
i've done all the work on this myself, including the spraying, which i think, has come out remarkably well for doing it in the shed
Today i took it for an MOT and it passed, i am so happy
i'd like to say a massive thank you to Jon at Emporer for his help advice and supplying some of the bits for my build
the things left to do are:
wheel refurb
make the sill skirt up where its broken
excuse the halo effect on some of the pictures, this is because i dropped my phone and cracked all of the glass around the camera lens
