...and suddenly we're nearly half way through 2024. Where does the time go?

Thought I'd chuck a little update on here. 

The boys down at C.A.R have been hard at work over the last month. 

How they received my 240z:

First step was to get the Firewall all repaired and patched up:

Then was to trail fit everything to see how it went:

The driver side front inner skirting panel was down around 10mm, so they fixed that too.

Chassis rails being prepared to be welded on:

All front end panels permanently welded in:

There was some rust behind the drivers side bonnet hinge which they repaired:20240506_120223.thumb.jpg.c18f11bd3cc857a119a94bf3e837faf6.jpg20240506_155718.thumb.jpg.9b5d1296d1582529403eebe52e8615cd.jpg20240507_140933.thumb.jpg.b2806638075408a54d53774d20309c6a.jpg

Which brings us to how she sits right now as of the 9th of March:

Motivation for this car went from an all time low to an all time high due to the front of this car being completely straight ready and welded on properly. 

Obviously the next step is to do the remaining 50% of the car - the rear end.

Luckily, this should be relatively straight forward for the boys. All parts that'll be welded on are either NOS or reproduction. I know the Resurrected classics Beaver panel needs some work done to the top slam panel positioning though!
