CANDYBLUE2+2

I wish I could help. Mine is all done and probably too much $$$. Good luck in your search.

Now for some professional advice. I've been in the automotive refinish line of work for nearly 30 years and I've seen "it all". Matching color is much more sofiisticated(spelling) these days then ever before. Some paint companies are better then others at it and you end up with there expertise or crap. It's also a fact that you can load one paint gun and let two guys spray two diffrent parts and end up with two shades of the very same color. Operator technique also plays a key role in color match for some of the more challenging colors, Candies, Pearls, Optocal Effect, etc.. When push comes to shove, blending is always the best route for everyone involved. Theres no way the naked eye can tell the diffrence. And if done correctly you'll have years of great looks. By then you'll either want or need a respray or color change, what have you. If the shop is reliable with a good track record, I say give them the cance to make it right.

My 2+2 260 was every bit as nice as this one, and it was a one owner car at that. Since I've restored and modified it($20,000 Later) shes awsome to say the least and turn s heads every where we go. Not many 2+2's out there doing that these days. Come on now, somebidy steal this car and get another 260 on the road, we are so few in numbers!

I completed the resto on my 260 2+2 back in March 06, and I had to go with new door panels as I couldn't find anything remotely close or good enough to meet my requirements. I used Too Intense Restoration on E-Bay for the skins that were reasonably priced and easy to install. They look real nice and recieved lots of compliments at my first show. They didn't have any of the O.E.M. style trim but the stitching is of a high quality. If all else fails I'd highly recommend replacing yours with these.

I also am a 2N2 guy. Soon as I figure out the picture download process, I'll have some to share as well. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I've been all over this sight looking for assitance with photos, but I haven't had much luck.

Not calling it a Z just wouldn't seem right. And IMO the ZX was never the sports car it should have been. On the other hand the fender badges look good and changing those god awful barn door handles looks like an even better idea to me. I may have to wait another year, but this could be worth it.

:surprised I got this site from my new issue of Nissan Sport Magazine..I'm a few years behind the times with PC chit chat...but here it goes. I have owned my 74.5 260Z 2+2 since 1988. It has a long history of good and bad days...Long story short, the car has been completely restored and modified to make me happy. After some where around the $20K area, I decided that was enough for now. I entered the Z in a show @ POMOCO Nissan in Hampton VA in May this year and took first place in the Ultra Modified Class as well as a Dealer Choice Award for Best in Show. There were 52 other Z cars in attendance and several were of the 350 model. so I was a verry happy camper that day. I look forward to talking to you all and sharing Z stories whenever possible. Thanks for letting me bend your ears:classic:
