Joel's 260Z 2+2

[C.A.R.]

Well... after 3 months of my spare time it's finally done & ready for the Vic BBQ!

We (Joel & I) initially budgeted 6 weeks to perform the rust repairs, lower it, fit new door rubbers & a front spoiler. Unfortunately only the rust repairs & lowering got done.

 

I did however get a chance to fit my Rota rims to it - I think I've convinced Joel to buy a set

 

I'd like to thank Joel for his patience too, as it can't have been easy being 'Zedless' for 3 months!

 

Right. Who's next?

[FLEXZED]

Thanks heaps again Lurch

 

Had a great drive home through the hills and she handles great couldnt get the grin off my face Gotta save for wheels now and finish off the body work then get into the interior and see where things go from there

[Lynton]

Lurch, how many inches did you lower that car and what offset are those Rota's sure improves the appeal of the car.

Lynton 

[C.A.R.]

Hi Lynton, The King springs lower it about 30mm (just over an inch).

The Rota specs are: 17x8.5" +4 offset. This spec comes a bit close to the stock spring perch though - I reckon the 17x7.5" would fit with more clearance.

 

Cheers

Hey guys

 

Well made some space in the garage today and got the Zed in there and started filling the repairs Lurch has done for me in preparation for Revzed painting in the new year. Was great meeting up with some of you guys yesterday and getting all motivated again.

 

So the plans now are:

 

A set of 17X7.5 Rotas

New door and hatch rubbers

Replace all red interior with Black interior

Front spoiler

Fit center console i brought off Spamaster on the weekend ( havnt forgotten i owe you Bruce)

And ofcourse paint repairs.

[MR260]

Well ive started covering the bare metal repairs on my Zed.

Im using a 2 part polyester filler over the repairs Lurch has done and treated though i cant remember what with, then im using a one step primer filler and then a blade putty for finishing off ready for paint.

 

Does this process sound right or have i got it all wrong?

 

Can i spray the primer filler over bare metal repairs and then use the polyester body filler over that?

 

Obviously my main aim is to cover all exposed metal first

 

Thanks Joel

[Mr240z]

Joel, You should use ecth primer on bare metal first..

[MR260]

Thanks Pauly

 

I did wonder about that but everything ive read so far in regards to polyester filler says it should be applied directly after treating the bare metal with rust converter.

So a little confused at the moment.

[xa1973]

Check back through the paint and panel  posts, weve covered this in detail

[C.A.R.]

Filler MUST be applied DIRECTLY over the bare metal, Joel.

If it's applied over paint it will just fall off...

[MR260]

Well it's not the zed but completed another project I've had on the go last night or my wife did atleast! I now have a beautiful baby girl named Marley and deb and I couldn't be happier. Maybe the zeds gonna take a little longer to finish but who cares in the grand scheme of things ;D

[reverendzed]

Hey Joel,Couldn't be happier for you! congratulations to you and Deb on the arrival of your beautiful girl Marley, just yell out if you need a hand with anything.
