Oiluj Posted May 8, 2012 Share #146 Posted May 8, 2012 On my neighbor's 240Z: Painted rear valance and grill Duplicolor Wheel-Cote Charcoal. Installed reat tail-lights and valence. Dark charcoal goes great with the dark green metallic paint.Sprayed vinyl dye rear strut towers. They look great and came-out much better than I thought they would. Cleaned-up the center console. Will post some pics when the front lights and bumpers are installed.Next step, remove and paint the door panels. Then add shiney aluminum tape to the chrome strips.

TriDawgn Posted May 9, 2012 Share #147 Posted May 9, 2012 I got my suspension parts back from powder coating today and the difference is amazing. I have all new nuts and bolts, arriving early next week. They will be class 10.9 zinc plated. The "Bolts!" thread was a huge help, so a BIG thanks to anyone who contributed to that effort. And to finish this off i have the Eibach springs, 4 piston disc brake kit and Prothane bushing kit all waiting to go in. Heres some before and after pics.

Len Posted May 14, 2012 Share #153 Posted May 14, 2012 This piece needed a lot of TLC. A PO tried to remove the blower knob by prying it off. He darned near pulled the set screw through the knob. Some people should not even be allowed to use a screw driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
