'71 240z +2JZ Long Term Project


Recommended Posts

:icon42: Finally found a car for the project, I bought it for 400 dollars + Towing.

 

This is my first car project ever and I'm not going to lie...I was intimidate by the rust spot on the car but I kept reminding myself that this is what's fun about restoring a classic ride and I am one of the hundreds in this forum that face the same issues :eek:

 

Boy...All I can say that cleaning up all junks, pulling, stripping is a @$#$@!!!!

 

My goal to have my car look almost exactly like this! Same color but with CF Hood here and there....such a beautiful car!

It seems like 1st or 2nd owner did a ghetto patch up on the the floor panel....I was planning to replace them anyway but its just funny to see how bad the job was done...

Over all, I was quiet happy on the car. I expect worst but hey, there are a lot of learning curve for me to learn...btw...if anyone know how to take off the door please let me know! lol, one of the door on the passenger side had no door knob? and I can't figured out how to open...I even went inside and try to "Kick" it lol.

I will take picture later on, the differences between two type is VERY noticeable...best combo to strip the paint is to use it with paint removal disc attached to air tools.

It was nice weekend so I took my wife and kid to Dallas for little adventure. We drove from Houston to Dallas Aquarium and also visited Fossil Rim State wild life state park.
