No, not nearly that bad. It looks good from 50ft. The car is in good shape really, just needs some paint and 3 small rust spots taken care of.

Congratulations! I second all the requests for pics

Ok, I snapped a couple of pics. Was out the in the garage and finished making some bumper brackets to mount my 240 front bumper. I tried bending the 240 brackets to get what I wanted, got close but decided I'd be better off to make my own. I've still got the rear to do and will get to it soon. Trying to finish up the bumpers so I can send them off to chrome and get the paint done. It's got a bit of rust in the usual places that I'll have to cut out and weld patches in.

So much nicer with that bumper. Good work.

They do look cool with 240 bumpers.

Thats a sweet looking car. I love the interior colours.

Thanks guys. That's the factor color interior. I'll be recovering the seats and dying the interior panels once paint is done. You can't see in the pic, but those "off white" interior plastic panels have yellow'd with age.

I'm also planning on some Konig rewind wheels with graphite center.

That pretty much sums up the plans.

I may head out there in a few and start on the rear bumper. I know it's going to be a pain

Very nice looking car. The bumpers look great. It's better looking than mine when I bought her!

[ZCurves]

VERY nice welds! I am truly impressed!!

If you use some plastic polish and a little bit of heat after the plastic panels are very clean you can get a lot of the old color out look at my first 240Z the blue one the color so bad I thought I had darkend butterscotch not off white with white seats when I got the car.

Eric, there's such a thing as vinyl spray paint used for shoe repair that you might be able to use to freshen the color of the door panels. I don't know if it's wear-proof enough for the seats, though. (Maybe worth a try?) I've used the stuff before, with some success.

Thanks. It looks good from 50 ft.. but trust me, I've got at least 3 sections to cut out and weld patches in

Thanks! I've got a new mig welder and have been playing with it, getting pretty good results now. I've been practicing on sheet metal and I've got that close to dialed in as well.

What kind of plastic polish ? I may try this.

SEM and Duplicolor both make the vinyl dye. That's what my plan was for the interior panels. The seats I'm going to have recovered. They are still white but there is a couple of small tears starting and the padding in them is worn.
