In case anyone is wondering about a new one... https://zcardepot.com/products/engine-splash-pan-guard-240z Or the newer style... https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Datsun-280Z-1975-78-Engine-Splash-Shield-Pan-Panel-Stainless-New-250/323531219088 -
Looks like a Juki...

I buy a lot of pads from Adams polishes and products. Their swirl and haze remover is amazing.

You are doing it right. Sand, polish, check. Repeat. You can always sand a little more, never a little less....

Interesting. Not in my future but looks solid.

Pics of the old pan by chance? Approximate price versus other models on the market?

.... as I stalk the streets of Bowral with the Google street camera car image bank looking for signs of a blue 240, yellow bug and tangerine Porsche...! ?

For someone with deep pockets, sure! Maintenance is the issue. Parts are restricted and hard to access. For the price, that’s a good deal. Keep in mind a new track is about $25,000.... they last about a year on asphalt. Edit: about 2000km on asphalt... even we don’t drive them that much. We use the M113a variant still along with the TLAV.

Where did you get the fabric Jeff?

Why trade when you can have true NOS carbs AND quarter panels! Think of the provenance! If it's going to be worth $70,000 plus in the end, these are a must have addition! ...heavy doses of sarcasm and good natured ribbing of @Patcon

NOS don’t necessarily make the car “better”, but maybe more original. $1500 would be my breaking point on a quarter panel even on a “special” car...

Try using the EZ strip grinder wheels. They are plastic, don’t build heat and do a great job.

Double post

Never a deal like this near me in Canada... I would buy it if it was local.
-
Good deal on an awesome car.
-
I would expect NOS quarters to sell for $1200 - $1500 each. Reproduction panels for $400-$1000 depending on model and condition. A used rear clip from a good donor, $600.... ...just my two cents from what I have learned over the last few years.
