280ZX Restoration Begins!

[2Fast280ZX]

So far I have everything but the window trim, some interior and the rear bumper off of the car getting ready to paint and do some weight reductions.

Next update will be the finished sanding/bodywork and then, the primering.

I'll keep you posted and update the pictures regularly.

Looking good

I wish I knew how to paint.

I still need a few things for the interior, I need the Console, Shock Tower Caps, one Center Cap, Bottom Windshield Rail and I need the bottom Rail off the Hatch window aswell, Other than that I'm going for a hybrid motor, with turbo swap.

I've got new pictures coming today so I'll keep you posted.

I put everything back on to see what it would look like

I think I did a pretty good job!



Primered! Ready to sand!

[2Fast280ZX]

To let everyone know the primer was still drying that's why it looked kinda weird.

[evildky]

looks streaky, did you use rattle can primer? it's not a strong as a urethane primer and also is not a sealer, meanign any metal under the primer is likely to rust through

[2Fast280ZX]

I still need to spray on another coat. It wasn't dry when I took the pictures and I didn't sand it yet. I did use rattle can but I'm going to spray clear over it once I'm done, but I'm gonna put some clear gloss reducer stuff in the paint to make the satin look stay.

[evildky]

you can buy sattin clear

I hope it holds out the moisture

[kasilvia]

You will have to sand all of that rattle can primer off before you can put any kind of base coat clear coat paint on it. The rattle can stuff will allow the paint to lift.

Does anyone have a Center cap I could buy?
