Have you got a photo of the rolling shell? I'd love to try to get that, but I'm all the way in Perth

This is a few more weeks back when i did the Drivers side rear panel, I took off alot of body fill and revealed some nice dents and small panels that had been pop riveted on. Does anybody know if some panel beating will fix this sort of dent up or some other solution?

about two weeks ago i removed the paint and filler from the rear of the car, only to reveal a rough patch job. not sure how to fix this up. should i replace the whole rear?

here are some pics of what I've done so far.. ive removed most of the parts topside and started striping paint with a wire brush to uncover what really lies beneath. beauty is really skin deep.. if you could ever have called this car beautiful. I started with the roof and passenger side door sill first and here is the result..

Thanks very much guys I do know Martin. I bought my Zed off him.. he is a very good person to know and such a wealth of information. I look forward to sharing my journey with this site. Cheers!

I have started restoring a 1975 260Z 2+2. It requires a lot of work and I'll be using this site to access the best information and advice i can get. I bought this from a well know Zed guy in Perth and he is a wealth of information. I plan to restore this car up as original as possible, with a few usual mods. but who knows.. my mind could change and that's all good. I'll post as many pics as possible. I'm currently at the stage of stripping paint and body fill from some well hidden repair area's which I'm keen to fix properly. My background - I have no trade or qualifications but I am extremely keen and sometimes that all it takes. I want to complete as much of the work on this car myself where possible. i feel this is all valuable experience, and i enjoy a challenge.. I am always open to suggestions and helpful info as to how i can go about doing restoration and it will be accepted with great appreciation. I hope you enjoy my posts and updates as they come along.

Cheers mate, I just PM'd him. Hopefully i'll hear something soon

Have you a link to said thread Peter?

G'day, Im looking to replace frame rails on my 260Z 2+2. My question is, does anyone in Perth manufacture these or does anyone know somebody who has/can? Ive contacted Bad Dog in the US to see how much they are to get a pair and the price seems fair due to shipment and all but i was hoping i may get them done locally and save some time and maybe a bit of $. Even if there is someone over east that does these, I'd like find out. Thanks

G'day, I'm a newbie and just about to purchase my first 260Z 2+2.. It's just a rolling shell ATM but I plan to spend a few years and a few $$$$ doing her up. I think I want to keep the engine standard L26(even though it has no engine right now) and look at mods on my journey.. My first task is to get the body in ship shape and clean her up. Then I'll look at interior and motor. I was wondering if there are any folks on here from WA that could help me with parts and advise when I get stuck. I'm no mechanic but I've worked and tinkered with my own cars since I was very young. Anyway it's great to be apart of this forum and look forward to talking with like minded Z-heds!
