Well worth the effort to get all the rust before you paint. Back in the day these were well known for how fast they rusted and its a miracle so many have made it this far. Great job your doing.
The second mine arrived in the country you could see it deteriorate straight away. I knew then it would be a full strip down job. Happy out doing it though 😀
It's great to have a reasonably solid base to work from. Mine is a '73 240Z UK car and unfortunately took a serious amount of restoration/fabrication. I'm up north near Antrim.
@@sparkiesshed3818 good stuff I'm here in Co Meath so not to far from you mine is well gone have it over 2 years now and still didn't get starting on it have all my rhd bits now how you finding the conversion??? Keep up the good work they are lovely cars 😍😍
what kind of paint remover did you use? and, if you said it, i didn't hear, what did you use to prevent flash rusting? i just bought a '72 240Z, and i'm itching to get started.
To be honest I used brute force. Any of the strippers you get in Europe are limited in strength due to EU environmental legislation. They done remove shit 😃. Wire brush all the way

Yeah I chose wisely with this one. Had a 280zx a few years back that was a nightmare. Decided to be easy on myself this time.
A lot of attention to detail the right way to do it it's not to bad for the rust that one what colour you going to paint it
Depends on the day 🤣
Honestly it does depend on the day.
Buen trabajo👍
Gracias
Nice to see another z getting restored Mark. Solid looking car compared to mine what part of the country are you in???
Hey Darren. Up in Athlone. I had another rusty Z before and decided to chose an easier one this time :-). Where are you located?

To be honest it is easy so far. It helps having it properly stripped down though. The rest as far as I can see is just bolt on so happy days.
