Update moving on from this thread :http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=150167&highlight=cam+covers

 

I have moved on a bit with some of the engine parts that i wanted to paint, my fear was going over the top with the colour, but once its all back together it should be broken up nicely.

 

Starting off with the throttle cover, i sanded down and smoothed the raised letters and will be replaced with these chrome Nissan letters, i havent stuck them on yet they are just sat on top, i need to do another couple of coats of laquer first. Also im placing a mirrored acrylic strip along the normal black or red strip found on covers.

Everything is just placed on for the pics, nothing is bolted back together yet, i wanted to make sure it looked ok.

Polished them all myself, just takes time, which i had/have plenty of lol

Very nice.Did you try the nissan lettering facing downwards as i reckon that would look quite good:)

I thought about it, but havent tried it yet. I will take some pics tommorrow and post up to see what it looks like.

looks the muts mate.

 

good luck on the 5 day turn around.

 

i planned about the same when i started work on my swb, ended up spending around 200 hours in the end to get it where i wanted:hammer:

lol, hi mate, i know what you mean on the 5 day turnaround, but im not doing a nut and bolt build like you have:bow::bow: and with most of the engine built up out of the car, it will hopefully save a little time.

 

Im not going to rush it though, if its takes another day or so then so be it, but as my daily driver id like to get it done soon as :winkiss:

 

How is your build going mate? Ive read your update, but no pics :sneaky2:

no pics yet mate, just getting back on it really ill get some tomorrow though.:sleep:

Loving your work Graham!!
