I'm not sure who he is as he never shows his face.... I'm starting to think he may also be a dentist

[Roberto]

After all Micks hard work, She's in primer and looking great.

 

All the rust, dents and extra holes are gone and now only weeks away from paint

[Corsa224]

Just a few more to follow on with.

[Fairlady Z]

Looking good Chris. Not too long to go now.

[potter260]

[Corsa224]

 

Its all thanks to Zzzzed, he's done all the hard work and had to put up with me asking for updates and changing things

[MaygZ]

Mick, you're always bitching that Lurch does live with you guys in Shelbyville (Lemon tree stealers), but I'm pi$$ed off that you don't live over here so you could work your magic on my shell too!  :'(

[zzzzed]

Back in the day when u hung an union on my belt because it was the thing to do at the time I would say thanks neighbor.

[Corsa224]

She has paint and looks great.

[Corsa224]

This is the grey tone I'm going to use on the flares,spoiler and front spoiler, oh and bonnet vents.

 

It's going to be a satin grey.

[Lynton]

Love the period colour, great work it will be interesting to see a 2+2 in the burnt orange, the guard flares will really set it off, what choice of wheels are you using? Lynton 

[Corsa224]

i'll be using 17" Rota RBX's with a polished lip with shadow chrome centres, seems to be the comman style

[Fairlady Z]

Awesome Chris. Looking good bet u cant wait till its all painted and then fun of putting together.

[Corsa224]

 

After hours of searching and talking to people who would didnt understand what the hell i was talking about, here's proof there are two different types of 260z 2+2 quater window assembleys a early and a later one.

 

Any Ideas where I can get part number 2 for the newer style?

your car is coming along nicely Chris.

If you can't find the watherstrip as a stand alone part, have a look in the parts for sale section - StMok is trying to sell a couple of sets of complete rear windows - that may get you what you need?

[peter t]

You are right Chris. Mine is 75, parts car was 76, and my mates car was late 76. I think from memory his is the same as yours which is totally different from mine. However I have two older style windows if they are any good to you assuming they will fit. The newer style has different sealing rubbers etc where I think the older style works better. After all who opens these up much anyway. Most newer cars have these rear windows fixed. Hope this helps.
