Darren-B's 1971 240z Project Pumpkin Major UPDATE P48

[LRF4N]

Vanish? The adverts make it look so easy

[ioneabee]

Bleach - it certainly does it on everything else I know

[leonk]

Won't bleach attack the stitching?

 

Have a look at http://www.quickfitsbs.com they are recommended on the e type forum and are probably who I will use. They do seat belt restoration and re webbing.

probably - but I wasn't being serious (nor LRF4N I suspect)

[spursmaddave]

Great job with the vinyl, hope you get the belts sorted

[LRF4N]

I was being half serious.... I think

 

If it was me I'd maybe give it a go with low expectations and any result is a bonus

[ChrisS]

Can anyone advise me on how I can restore the seat belts backs to White??

 

 

H2 O2 (google is about to get hammered )

 

I'd suggest try at 1% if too slow or no joy 2.5 or 3.5%

 

I've got some 35% in the work shop. I'll sort you some out next time your up for the weekend.

 

It's industrial grade not food grade, if that's OK for pumpkin....

[Darren-B]

I don't think I'll be using bleach, I did think about soaking them in some Daz Ultra, (insert pun here)

 

May take you up on that offer Chris, as no doubt I'll be seeing you in the not so distant future

[Mondo 300]

I'll be watching this project keenly! Beautiful car...!!

[Ebized]

Think this is how I would do it:

(without the pink gloves oh, and use a hairdryer rather than the car's heater )

Now that is a good find! Will keep that link, could be useful....

[spursmaddave]

I did my Zed seat belts with washing powder like that link, amazing how grubby they were, being black hid it I guess...

[Darren-B]

Don't use washing powder on fabric seats, I learn't this on the Leon, every time it gets a bit damp the seats become covered in white stains, it's either the washing powder I used or something the previous owner had done all over the car

[Darren-B]

Look what just arrived Finally I can drive it

 

[grahamc]

Im in Surrey, near Redhill....

[Darren-B]

So the plates are ordered, hoping to go for a drive tonight

 

[Keyser]

Looking good

 

Have fun

I hope s, will give me something to do over the winter

[Keyser]

If you need something to do - how about a nice respray in a vibrant colour - I don't know how about GREEN

 

 

It's OK we will be calling on your fabrication skills this winter mate got an LS3 to fit

[Darren-B]

LS3 hmmm Let the Zed sheds unite

 

 

You know a L28 would probably suit a Z33 better, Lighter, free revving. could always do an exchange

[Stutopia]

Only just seen this thread, love these proper builds I could only dream of. Subscribed!

 

It's a beautiful motor to start with, so can't wait to see the progress.

[Paddy78]

Is there anything that actually needs doing? It looks mint!

[Darren-B]

It is showing it's age, just not full of holes

 

I wanted a good base to start with. Having nearly all standard parts saves a lot of money trying to source things like door cards, trims etc.

 

Just about to go for my first proper drive now I have the plates

 

4 things I hope not to need:

Tools

jump leads

tow rope

breakdown cover
