Thats ok i will figure it out. LATE

I will figure it out thanks

Thanks i found a 71 240z for less then $1500. I took it to a mechanic who works on old datsun. It needed minor work but nothing i could not handle. Now i started to remove some of the old paint prepairing to have it prep and painted. So far i started with the left rear quarter panel. I washed the car down, then i started to strip the paint with sand paper. I started off with 600 wet,then 400, to 200. The paint is so old and weak the 600 was removing some of the paint. The car is green but underneath is orange. When i sand i sand down until i see grey or mental. When i rest or quit i dry off any wet spots to avoid more rust. I usually do not have to worry about that too much being from so.cal. Any rust that needed to be cut, remove and bondo (FIBER GLASS) im going to let a pro do it. This is my first time sanding a car down any suggestion from you guys. All ya i been searching on the web and here so i been doing my homework. Just want to make sure. Thanks

Sorry to hear that hopefully in your near future there will be another 240z. I just bought 71 z and its my second car. I believe with older cars its usually safer to have it as a second car. To keep as collectables. People out there do not get mad at me, but i do not think i can drive the z as a daily driver. I would be worry that it will break down and i will be late to work and the boss dont want to hear it when youre late. Parents always looking out for their kids best interest. I know you dont want to hear that but it will make sence when you get older. If youre that passionate about the Z you will get one. Might have to wait when youre 18 have a job or out of the house if you want it it will be yours. Just keep your head up.

what part of orange county

I was thinking the samething for my 71z. Any pictures

I saw before and after it helped a lot thanks.

Jmark I like the work on the car do you have any before pictures. Im not sure if it going to help soymilk, but it will help me to decided how much work and money i want to spend on my car. Solmilk i took out my Z today and while i was driving through El Monte(LA area) i saw so many body shops it was crazy. So i think you should be able to find a good price. There going to compete for your business.

When he said economy restoration i was thinking the lower part of the spectrum. Just enough to make his car look ok. Well there are shops that might not specialize in z but does a good job with other cars. Like Modern, classics, low riders and so on. LA is the place theres tons of shops with good prices. Its a judgement call i seen people and knew people that spent thousands and thousands of dollars on paint jobs and it did not hold up. While i meet other who spent little to nothing and to this day their car is still looking good. Just shop around some more and fine the right price for you. If they have a photo book of what they done in the past that should help a lot. Also look at their past history problem with BBB. Good luck, Ah yeah if you find a place that you like at a cheap i mean economy price hit me up as well.

Hey he said he wanted something inexpensive. Either that Earl scheib or One Day Paint and Auto. Maybe to him the car is only worth so much any more might be a waste of money. Im not trying to put words in his mouth im just taking a wild guest of what he is thinking.
