Robbo's New Chapter

And So it has begun!

The process of the respray started today!

Day 1
Strip Car and sand the old paint down ready for undercoat.


Tomorrows agenda: Buy paint and a few other bits n pieces and hopefully have the undercoat sorted by tomorrow night!
Stay tuned!

 

Came up short today. Went to get the paint, wont be mixeed and all ready to go until tomorrow which is a pain, seeing as we are spending close to 2k at the place they could get on it asap.
So more prep today then tomorrow the spraying begins

 

killer!

 

How we left it yesterday:





Got the paint this morning, rude shock to find i hadn't been quoted with gst included..

Spent a good part of the day masking the car up!



Undercoating has begun!

 

You sir are a god send, message me the cost of postage + the lights and ill put it though now.

 

Awesome work Robbo, definitely watching this with interest! Doing all the spraying at home?

Be sure to test fit your twinz before paint though, need a fair bit of trimming if you want to keep your tow hooks. Also test fit with your exhaust as some don't fit well at all (like mine) & all need to be lowered to clear the diffuser.

 

Nah only undercoat and edges at home,
Test fitted months ago aha, yeah exhaust needs new hangers. Dissapointed in twinz though bar had pin holes that showed up during undercoating -_-

 

hey man , what color you doing it , i might have missed it ,
looking good , keep up the good work ..

 

Agreed, quality is not up to to what you hear (or pay). I ended up making little brackets to lower the hanger mounting points, I needed an extra 35mm for the abflug exhaust to clear.

 

Sorry if if I missed it but what colour are you going?

 

Its going blue, currently sitting down watching my brother make the magic happen.

 

Its done, What a busy week, Colour and clear is down, just gotta put the rest back together.

Heres some pics, enjoy!

 

Looks great man, really pops in the sun, nicee!

 

Yeah man, it definantly does, Dark in the shade, bright pearls in the sun, im stoked

 

That looks brilliant!

 

wow awesome turn around time Robbo! Colour looks great mate, congrats!

 

Thanks Tim!
Yeah it was a close call to having it finished was sanding until 3am this morning , got up at 6 to take the car to the booth aha.

 

So Whats been happing

Nothing much really.
Finally got round to buying a second car so some of the stuff ive been wanting to do but couldnt afford the time off the road can happen now.
Slowly making head way on the 370z steering wheel. Still need to work out what wire is what however the music controls seems like the easy bit.
Cruise on the other hand may be alot harder.

R34 GTT brakes were installed on the front, just have to paint match the rear calipers now.

And that's about all the news. Ill end this with some pics enjoy, Thanks Craig for the brilliant pics too!

 

Happy to oblige Robbo! You've done a brilliant yourself as she's a mint example of a Z32! :zlove:

Cheers,

Craig
