Arne Posted May 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 3, 2008 I brought my red 240Z back home this afternoon, following the successful re-skinning of the roof to eliminate the sunroof. Here are some before and after pictures. I don't have pictures of the process itself just yet, we couldn't get his camera to download to my laptop (bad USB cable, I think), so I'll have to wait for him to e-mail them to me before I can post them. Soon, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray Posted May 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 3, 2008 Looks great! Looks like a guidecoat of primer on those pics? Whatever it is, it gives an unfair wavy appearance on the pics...I'm sure it's nice and smooth. Looking forward to seeing final paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted May 3, 2008 Yeah, guidecoat. The real surface is near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcubsman Posted May 3, 2008 Share #10 Posted May 3, 2008 Hey Arne, Looks like the plan is coming together. Really looks great. Just a thought. Maybe thats an easier way for me to get the headline glue off for that new headliner B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westpak Posted May 3, 2008 Share #11 Posted May 3, 2008 very nice, I prefer the Z's without the sunroofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted May 3, 2008 Share #12 Posted May 3, 2008 Very nice Arne! The new paint itch is going to get more intense now. Did your metal man give you an idea of the level of difficulty or any problems doing this transplant? Before you reinstall the headliner, it would be the perfect time to research a good spray on stiffiner to apply to the underside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
