My 240z is finally home..New photos

[mally002]

Hey guys,

As some of you remember I dropped my car off in early Jan. to get all the rust repaired...(it wasnt much) and have the car painted. I picked it up Yesterday and finally got a chance to shoot some photos.

A few things pop out that I am just noticing, like the shop broke my choke handle (imagine that), but they slipped it back on broken, so I'm just finding it. They also filled in the drivers side door mirror..Arrrr, so that needs to be fixed. (see my thread in HELP). But all in all I am very happy with the car. For those that are interested my final bill was $3862.90 For this sum of money they painted the entire car, fixed all rust by cutting out and replacing with metal ( I should note that it was very minimal, and once the panels were pulled there was not much cancer to deal with either) They replaced the front windshield, and pulled and replaced all glass. I took off the bumpers, emblems, etc. They quoted me six weeks and it took 9...so not too bad.

Anyway, now I have a rust free 1973 240z in it's original Orange paint.

Regards,

Randy

Did the engine come out and was the engine compartment painted for that price? Looks awesome BTW!

Looks great! I think I like it better with the side mouldings gone too. Now you have to swap out your avatar.

Thanks fellas,

Well, call me cheap but the engine did not come out and bay area painted. It would have been another 2k for that. Since I stayed the original color everything still matches, though not as shiny as the outside.

Also, I just noticed that you could zoom on the pictures, I thought the photos looked a little fuzzy, then when I clicked the photo it cleared right up....I love finding things out.
