What a difference sand blasting makes to the overall speed of this project. Shown the first coat of paint to the front driver side fender area shortly after sand blasting.

240-Z Front Fender Removal

Here are some early pictures of the 240z restore process. These are simply to give an idea of what I was starting with. The minor rust above the frame in the last picture turned out to be much worse then is shows after I sandblasted the bad bits away.

Note: Last two pictures show some progress after some early wire brush cleanup.

240Z – It Begins

Since I am waiting on parts for the 280ZX  I felt it was time to get things started on the 240z after quite a few failed attempts. The car is in good shape all things considered, but will still a bit of a project. There is rust…lots and lots of rust. Most of it is the surface version, but like most 240z there is some of the more serious kind on the car as well. These are some very early pictures….they will get more interesting in future posts.

ZXR floor work/sound deadening part 2 + rear bumper

Continued work on the floor pan, on the front passenger side of the car. Also I have included my very rusty rear bumper…this was the only major part of the car I had not repaired…and it is pretty bad.

More 280ZX restoration

I had to remove the already completed hub assembly on the passenger side of the car per a stripped bolt issue on the cv axle side. This also meant I had to reinstalled an outer-bearing and refurbish a fairly rusted replacement. The pictures do not really give justice to how much surface rust was present. The end result looks like previous pictures after painted so I did not bother taking any new pictures. Also show is the rear metal support brace that was badly bent. Sadly I forget to get pictures of it with the new paint job…perhaps the next time I go under the car I will have a chance.

Suspenion, rear arm repair

The rear arm from the 280ZX (shown above) has damaged from age and the rear bearing having to be cut out as it could not be pressed out. Note that the the sleeve also had to be repaired as the item is no longer obtainable (new) and had some minor damage from the process. The inner surface was then resurfaced and filled as where needed in preparation for the new bearings.  Note that the pictures make it appear rougher then what it actually is as the surface is quite smooth.
