Wags Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Interior, engine bay and door jams etc are being painted at the moment and then the reassembly begins with driveline insertion. Pointing towards the finishing line now. Edited December 1, 2020 by Wags Spelling Ponyo240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.R. Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It's taken a while as my painter is busy but he's also being quite diligent, but it's now got it's first of two coats of high build primer. This first coat will be sanded down, then the next coat will be applied. Engine bay, interior and underbody will be painted wet on wet in colour in a week or two. Then it comes back to me to have the driveline fitted etc. Then it goes back for its topcoat... Exciting times! gav240z, 240ZBUILTBYME, OdinZ and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.A.R. Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Colour is now on the underside and engine bay. It's coming back to the workshop shortly, however there will be a delay as my electroplaters are performing maintenance on their equipment. Hopefully by late Feb we can start assembly once I get all the parts back... CBR Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
