Photos of stripping a 260z

Whittie, Did you take pics of engine bay and under dash?

OK, I'll try and go through and sort them out. To be honest, I haven't even really looked at the photos myself yet!

I'll see what I can do about breaking things up into smaller sections and then upload them again. It'll make it easier for me when I  put the car back together anyways. Perhaps 'engine bay' 'wiring loom' 'rear section plastics' etc.

I was thinking acid dip but it's horrendously expensive and still won't get rid of all the oil, tar and goop. By the time I had removed all of that the panel beater worked out it would be cheaper for him to spend time sand blasting and cleaning rather than paying someone to acid bath it and then have to pay him to go around and repair all the damage that would have been done dipping it. I have been fully led by the panel beater in terms of doing the body work on this build for the lowest price possible. He's a good guy and I fully trust him, he also makes sound decisions.

I didn't pull the motor so I don't have many, just pics for removing all the hoses, clips, wiring loom etc. The dash is also still in one piece from when I removed it, so I don't have the under dash pics I think you might be thinking of? Have a browse through the 'strip' pics, the interior ones and see if what you want comes up. The thing to keep in mind is I never intended for these pics to be used for this purpose. I bagged all the screws, nuts, bolts into little zip-lock bags and so that will help a lot to work out where stuff goes and then the photos were really just for the 'hard' or bizarre stuff. Stuff that I guessed I might not be able to replace even with all parts split into little bags. The dash is one example because it's really only 6-8 screws and the whole thing comes out, it was not a difficult job but then I have done it 2-3 times already.
