MattMatthewZ 1 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Plasti dipped my engine bay wire ties today. They were beat up from sandblasting and body work. I removed a couple of torn ones and sprayed then sprayed them with plastidip. Hopefully it holds up. It not perfect but its a lot better than it was. In hind sight I should've had them painted body color but oh well. Heres a pic of what they looked like before. Sandblasted and overspray on them. Much better!

MattMatthewZ 1 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Been busy with family the last couple weeks so I havent had the time to work on the Z till now. I covered the floor pans, headliner, door panels, and a few other inner panels with Dynamat. I used the 34 sq ft kit and worked out pretty well. Should be nice and quiet now.
