'73 240Z rebuild...slow project but I love it :)

[George_Zed]

hello my friends

Thought to open a new topic rather than continue my Z progress in the introduction area...you can see how I started there

Introduction

This is a copy of my last reply in the introduction... sorry to duplicate it but I have to start this topic with something

I knew it was going to be a slow progress due to the lack of time... I do all the things on my own and since I have a family with two little boys, the time for my Z is very limited.

So, all this time I did the following tasks  

Removed the factory tar insulation to check for hidden rust

 

Epoxy primer everywhere...

Then painted original silver (the oem color is silver)

 

New tar insulation

 

On top of that I added an extra thermal/ noise insulation

 

and I hope tomorrow find time to finish with the jute carpet padding on floors and tunnel

 

I finished the dash, I am really happy with the result...

before

and after

The dash looks good. What products did you use?

I didn't do something new... I just followed the procedure in the following link

http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/22325-dash-repair-processpictures/

I used the Great Stuff Pro, a bumper repair (not the SEM but one I could find in my country), a texture paint spray and a trim black spray.

 

I cleaned the dash, reinforced the back area where the crack was

 

applied the Great Stuff

 

after a while I open some space for the bumper repair

 

 

and then... I sanded and sanded and sanded again and again until the outcome was good for me...

somewhere here, I finished sanded...

 

then cleaned the surface and sprayed the texture paint

 

and then cleaned the texture "effect" with scotch brite...

 

then I sprayed with trim black, then again with texture paint, scotch brite again and then one more time trim black spray and finished :)

finished photos on my first post
