Super Cool @ScottyD and congrats to the Z Car Club of NSW for the top effort, looks like a great couple of days. I'm sure I'm not the only one jealous of you all. Thanks for posting

Hi everyone i have a question.. i owned a 1974 260 Z (not 2+2) which i sold 19 years ago and i wonder if still out there..it came from hong kong RHD two seater auto triple 45 webers perspex on lights electric windows Bronze metallic biege vinyl roof A/c correct dish alloys etc.. but this is some information i would like..the 260z could have been built by a well known Australian guy?? cheers

This week I removed the sound deadening/tar mat from the car as preparation for blasting. To be honest I was really dreading this job but in the end it was actually not that bad! I ordered 5kg of dry ice for the occasion. This worked an absolute charm for the boot area. Leave the ice on the matting for a couple of minutes and you can start to hear it cracking. Then use a scraper and it comes off in big slabs. the transmission tunnel area is much more difficult, dry ice can be used on the top flat surfaces but doesn’t work on the sides, I tried hanging plastic bags with dry ice in them but it just doesn’t get as cold… for the sides of the transmission tunnel a heat gun and scraper worked great for me, trick was to get it hot enough to lift off the metal but not so hot that it melts completely. and end results… still finishing up the bracing, only managed to add a cross brace for the rear of the car as I’m going to remove the entire rear valance.
