Thankyou sir,if an inexperienced half wit like me can do it anyone can😆

UPDATE

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

Youtube makes it look so easy1

[chinny]

Time for some "Smart repairs"me thinks

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

 

[chinny]

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

[chinny]

Previous owner liked the fake carbon fibre look

not my cup of tea.

[chinny]

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

[chinny]

Satin black looks more like it.

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💖

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.
