Had one of the rare days, that i wasnt doing anything, so i got on with a few odd jobs that ive been putting off.

 

Have a slight bubble on the passenger targa, so after a bit of digging and cleaning i find this.

 

Whilst the filler is drying, i decide to spray a spare engine cover.

 

And take apart a spare rear panel, to make my own 99 spec style.

Bit of a pain to do, but after heating with a hairdryer, it comes apart in one piece. Having checked up on a thread on TT net, i removed the '300zx' very very carefully.

and sprayed up the inner panel to silver

After a few coats of Nissan KH3, the engine cover is done. Looks the nuts now.

The rear panel is nearly done, just need to source a red or Blue EL panel.

 

The remaining for the day is the targa, but need to get it right before spraying.

A nice day's work there! Well done :bow:

Looks good stu

Top work!! :bow:

did you know white is actually more reflective than silver, i found this out in my youth when i grew some.... plants

I take it you're referring to the center panel? Well it won't be for reflection, it's to match the 99 spec tail lamps! As that panel is outside of the initial deflector lenses.
