I ordered it all through Amayama.com. Blasphemy! Here you go mate, sorry for the delay. Not sure why there is so much of a gap around the edges. Maybe that was filled with lead from the factory, but it just seems like alot. I really need to restart progress on the Z. Life gets in the way too easily and it's definitely a bit of struggle not being able to make too much noise when you've got an 8 month old that goes to bed early. I really wish the body wasn't as bad as it was, It does get a little disheartening whenever somebody see's this Z in person or in photos and they remark "Why would you bother?". So I just hope in the end its worth it, but I also need to remind myself that I've only started working on this car since July last year and restorations can take up to the better part of a decade. Nearly all the bolt-on parts are restored - so when I get a painted 240Z back, I can't imagine it will take me long for it to be on the road afterwards. //rant over. At least this other Nissan gets me through those cravings to drive something exciting.

I hear you, it's a long slog. But just remember it will be done right and will be worth it when finished. My 2 year old son is a time thief. Constantly up to mischief so I can't have him with me in the workshop.

Waking my Z up from 10 years of slumber.

anybody noticed that cars are staying up for sale longer than normal. awful lot of s30s for sale atm.... I think most are just asking way too much. As interest rates go up, prices should come down...

I have a 3 and a 6 year old and man its so difficult to get work done on the Z. Not to mention the Mrs always needing help. @ND240Z Bro you will get there. As long as you get small tasks done you will be finished in no time. Also I hear vodka & orange helps lol

One other job Mr S asked us to do was weld in this Apex Engineering fender braces to stiffen up the front end a bit:

Lots of fettling, farnarkling, slapping & spooning, the body now has 4 coats of primer on it. Unfortunately due to circumstances outside my control, we had to paint it in the workshop - not ideal but it worked out OK. Now to 400g the door jams in preparation for colour... Panels are being primed shortly, then the doors & guards will go back on. Then we have the fun job of 240g then 400g sanding the primer back in preparation for topcoat in COB...

The correct nomenclature is to refer to us as Datsun weird beards.
