ZCurves Posted November 13, 2009 Share #13 Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) I AM BEGGING YOU! NOOoo. With all of that nice body work, you would leave the holes? These were an aftermarket install anyway.....Sorry, I just really do not care for them, but if you insist! In Fact, I will give you mine (I still have most of the parts) and if you can make use of them, then they are yours. I will put some pics of my Z paint work this weekend!Andrew Edited November 13, 2009 by ZCurves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlaw7 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted November 14, 2009 I know many of us here don't care for the dealer-installed aluminum channel side molding on an S30. I personally do - as long as the rear piece doesn't extend past the rear wheel well. Just my personal preference ... Either way, I know we both agree Z-cars are beautiful - whether the view is from the outside or from behind the wheel! From the passenger seat it's pretty cool too ... Anyway, here are a few more photos from the paint & body shop. Looking forward to seeing your photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlaw7 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted November 20, 2009 Keep us posted. I notice you have the same trim down low on the sides that I do. Are you planning on leaving that on or taking it off and filling the holes before painting? More photos from this afternoon at the paint & body shop ... won't be long now!

cbudvet Posted November 20, 2009 Share #16 Posted November 20, 2009 Wow, thats a beautiful color! I can hardly wait to see what the car will look like when it is finished. Good luck and keep the pictures coming!carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzi Lon Posted November 21, 2009 Share #18 Posted November 21, 2009 That is a very nice burgandy, it will be a knock out in the sun. Now the fun 'really' begins. Belive me. Bonzi Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack T Posted November 21, 2009 Share #19 Posted November 21, 2009 Mlaw7 I like the color it almost qualifies as an TAMU maroon; look forward to seeing pictures of it when it is finished, or even better yet bring it up to Spring for the Saturday night car show on Spring Cypress at Champions Forest. The car show should start back up in March.Zcurves, where in Spring are you? I am in Gleannloch Farms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbudvet Posted November 21, 2009 Share #20 Posted November 21, 2009 I just heard from the body shop guy in regard to the paint on my car. He painted the inside but said he found some areas on the outside that he wanted to work on more before he painted it. I appreciate him taking his time and doing it right but after a year, it is hard to tell if its just an excuse or not. I am VERY jealous of your car mlaw7. I love looking at pictures of cars getting restored.carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlaw7 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted November 24, 2009 Carl, Did he say what areas he needs to work on? Please post some photos of your car when you have a few minutes! Here are a few from this afternoon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZCurves Posted November 24, 2009 Share #22 Posted November 24, 2009 Sorry for the delay in answering. I am in Enchanted Oaks near Cypresswood. PM me and we can exchange #'s. BTW, I will be volunteering at the Houston Z Club booth at the Houston Autorama on this Friday from 5 - 9, come on by.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZCurves Posted November 24, 2009 Share #23 Posted November 24, 2009 MLaw7 - You make me soooo jealous!! My Z is a couple of weeks away from where your car is now! I still want to take some pics of the two when I get mine back together. That Plum color is fantastic! You know these cars look better than original showroom with proper paint and modern materials! Great Job!! I noticed that your Bumpers look new. Did you re-chrome or polish? Very nice! I need to have mine done too.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamr Posted November 24, 2009 Share #24 Posted November 24, 2009 I love the color! Close to the original, but better.Adamr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
