Thar she goes..

The image you are about to see is true--

This is not some slight of hand--or some trick with mirrors or light--

After 10 years my 72 240Z has finally left the garage for the paint and body shop. The sunroof is coming out and being replaced with a new roof panel--thanks ARNE for the inspiration/ and proving it could be done. Thanks to GUY for his encouragement and advice.

The car will be primed and repainted 918 and returned in late November. What will I do with all that extra space in the garage until then?...

Perfect time to spruce up the garage ( not that I know if it needs it ). Epoxy floors, fresh painted walls with a few nicely framed Z pic/posters, fully stocked fridge...did I miss anything? Anything to make the old girl comfortable after the beauty treatment.

I gotta tell ya, your Z is one of the best looking ones I've see on the way to the paint shop.

Congratulations. It is always good to see another Z being put back into service!

I'm pleased my car could be an inspiration. From the looks of it, you will have an outstanding example very shortly. Good job!

[Rich1]

Thanks for the compliments.

The car looks better in the photo than it does in real life. There's a good deal of rocker rust, floorboard rust (that's what was lurking beneath the beloved tar-mat) and a badly eaten hatch threshold---in other words, the usual...

Great car, can you post some pics when you make the sunroof change.

Great car, can you post some pics when you make the sunroof change.

In case you missed it, the pictures of my sunroof removal last year are in this thread.

[Rich1]

Thanks Arne..

That was thread that started it for me. I thought I was doomed to live with a leaky sunroof until I came across your posts.

I forwarded the thread to my body shop. We have discussed the process already--but having extra pictures of the steps never hurts.

Hi Rich......Take plenty of pics during the process....you'll only get the chance once. My son Brandon does a great job for me. We're pulling for this to be another great Z!!!! Guy
