1976 280Z Restoration Project

[wheee!]

A little more custom bling for the engine bay!

Got to love matching numbers! ?

[wheee!]

A car as customized as this needs a proper plate....

Couldn’t resist picking up this polisher today. It was on sale and will go nicely with the DA I already have. 

Nice unit, treat yourself again to some of this, https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00AIYU148?tag=duc12-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

This stuff is remarkable, lots of shops use nothing else, Meguiar's Ultimate compound is a watered down version of this compound.

So where did you get the engine bay tag?

I already treated myself to some Farecla G3 compound. A professional body shop cutting and polishing compound.
The tag was a random find on eBay. It is listed under 240Z engine bay tag but the guy will make it anything you like.

Love Meguiars products!

but they have so many and it's really hard to figure out what the differences really are...

[wheee!]

I shop at a body shop supply store. They give me good deals on professional products.

Backup camera! Shift into reverse and the system powers on automatically!

Carpets are in. The fit and finish of the sewn/molded kit for the 280Z is really good. The finished edges on visible ends is great. 

[wheee!]

Cars on the ground. Fuel is in, ready to load the first run file and start the engine on Saturday! Hopefully no fireworks.

I really admire the extent to which you've persisted, not with the restoration, but the documentation thereof.  I've never been able to force myself to stop working, clean my hands, find the phone, and snap a few.  My hat's off to you.

I especially appreciate your commitment because your car and mine are very nearly identical in condition (when you started), and this thread has already been of great assistance, though I haven't "officially " started quite yet.

Saturday will be a great day.
