toolman Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) This 240z restoration in Japan demonstrates bodywork using basic methods and tools. These videos show restoration methods that most Do It Yourself people out there who do not access to more expensive body working equipment could still do the work. The restoration using these methods would take more time but have satisfying results. This Body Man does a lot of Vintage Cars Restoration in Japan. Race Cars are also done. Please give your comments so I can find more videos that will help you restore your Vintage 240Z or other car models.

toolman Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 (edited) Part 2-More 240Z Restoration- Body Work is mostly done utilizing Oxygen Acetylene Gas Welding. This method of welding was mainly used to repair automotive body repair. I learned this method when I was 15 years old and used it until the 1970s when Mig Wire Welding came in. The Mig Welding is a much productive method as it applied the heat faster and welding with less heat distortion to surrounding metal. However, I still use this method in certain applications to this day. Notice- Use a Small Torch Flame and Thin 1/16" Brass Rod.

toolman Posted Saturday at 04:42 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:42 PM Another S30 Restoration from Japan- no English Subtitles This short video gives the viewer how restoration can accomplished even with a badly corroded body. Note that most of badly corroded areas can be replaced with aftermarket body panels( even wheelwell edges). Also, one must realize this work took over months of bodywork by a professional.
