Looks great!

So I believe the horns came with green zinc on them.  Or maybe part had no coating?  I decided on powder coating the fronts in black, the backside of them has some deep pitting and I would rather not zinc them.  Plus I think gold zinc in the front will look goofy.  Then inner parts you see gold zinc.  Then back with all the electronics will just need to be media blasted and a nice 2 part paint.  I can't figure out a good way to take it apart.  

I spent an hour taping off the horns to protect the electronics. I then media blasted them. Then took them to a auto paint shop. The rears are single stage 2 part black paint. The grills are powder coated bk06. Just like the rest of my z.

@duffymahoney, what are you using for the paper gaskets between the 2 parts of the horn?

Good question. Either laser cut paper or gasket maker. I honestly don’t know yet. 

 

 

I took the door strikers off to send out for zinc.  No rust behind!

Door, hatch and horn parts are back from zinc. Also tons of nuts and screws. Zinc day is always the best. 

Horns are rebuilt. 

I used gasket maker instead of the paper seal. 

Now time to remove all the original tape from the front wiring harness and redo it. 

Original wiring harness sticker. This was up by the horns. Pretty neat to find after so many years.

I will have to find the thread. I’m not restoring mine. But just making it nicer. 

Someday I might acid bath it and paint it right. Who knows.

I don't believe he documented it here. He may have over on HybridZ
