Lee@MK Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have been working on this for about 8 weeks now. I brought this from a salvage yard for two reasons. 1) I love a car project and this restoration had my name all over it 2) it was cheap! and to buy a good Nismo 350z we are talking some serious $$$! I am about 2-3 weeks away from paint and just have the rear quarters to beat and then its ready for quality control before paint. I have sourced all my parts from ZmanAlex who has been fantastic, is there anything this man cannot get! More pics to follow Oh and its on bricks! as I am sealing the underside of the car.

Beau Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Good Luck with it, You planning on doing the painting yourself! I can give you a few tips as I have just been through it! And I am only down the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee@MK Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks Beau You have been through the pain! I take my hat of to you.. It may look like i have gone overboard with the primer but every panel had damage even the good ones, damage is damage and so full respray is needed.

Beau Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 A full respray is good though! This way you dont have to worry with getting a dead on match plus the body will look brand new! Will you be removing the trims though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightRacer Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 So how much did it set you back in total? 150% effort has gone into getting that back on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Very well done mate. Was the car categorised at all before? Or was it clear? Must have cost you a pretty penny to get all the parts and get the spray done. Still much cheaper than buying one stock? Although.. the condition of yours now would be far above a similar aged Zed.. Nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Great work - credit to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee@MK Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks guys I am glad the hard work paid off. well I could of brought a stock 350 in poor condition for what its cost me, but then I would of spent money on it anyway to bring it up to spec. I am happy with the finished car and I know this car is well repaired and not full of filler Thanks for the hard to find parts your a star.
