However not many years ago people were hacking up early cars without a thought as they were the cheap Z's! At some point 260z's in original shape may be considered highly collectible in original condition and hacking guards may be frowned upon. Especially if it's done to fit a massive set of rota wheels.. Valid points. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just buy one with the guards cut so I don't have to make the decision. :Anyone got a cheap z for sale with flared guards! there's a 240z with an RB30 & flares on gumtree! haha Zedhead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabham Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Buy one with the guards cut. I think people will start returning the cars to original as values rise. Zedhead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted December 27, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2018 Yeah I think I'll end up doing that over powder coating. But I don't want to "brush" it on. Rather spray it (with respirator). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushing on the epoxy enamel is easier and cheaper Gav, and there is no brush marks with the enamel either, you cant tell the difference. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedhead Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hello all, I have finished restoring the last of the parts and I have re skinned the dash so I thought I would show you a pics of them. OdinZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this was a rare colour especially with the Ivory trim . If you are looking for the 303 paint colour in 2 pak then you may want to try one of The Body Shop Paint Supplies outlets, I dropped into the one in Bayswater and they said they had the mix formula and could supply it in 2 pak.
