it might look in good condition but there is more filler in it then a body shop.

nice work Lee keep us posted on the rebuild the smooth look should be nice.

Wow, nice one Lee, I cant belive its the same car after the steam cleaning!! good luck with it, glad your happy with her :thumbup1:

good effort lee, good idea to steam it all first, gives you a better chance of getting everything where it should go.

You are a very brave man, and alot of hours ahead, but well worth it.

why weld up the indicator holes?? is it a road car and do road cars not have to have indicators on the side?? or are you planning something different :D ?

 

looking good so far :D

Looking good bud :gunsmilie:

Sweet matey keep up the good work and updated us with posts ;)

well i can put then in the mirror or in the rear bumper were the side light is. clear lenses and orange bulbs, no problem. i just want to have that smooth look. so no sticky out things lol

You are safe to remove the side indicator I think Lee as long as you have front and back.

American 300zx have no side indicators as standered and there are a few over here.

Cheers mate. I appriciate it. What do u like about the build then?:thumbup1:

the fact that you are taking it down to the bare bones and starting it properly. none of this stick on or add this over the top shite ;)

 

if a jobs going to be done, it's worth doing right!

Keep it going Lee this will end up a great zed when finished:thumbup:

Nice one lads for the respect. Its a slow build but it will get finished one day.

I really like the smooth tailgate look, think I might go that way myself.
