240Z: Tumbler-test, Stuff painted, Taillights testing 1

Today we had some nice (but cold) weather, and it has been a while since i spent som time at the garage. You all know saturdays are made exactly for this, so i had to :)

1) The powder-coating guys missed to poweder a few hard-to-reach points on those parts so i decided to clean those parts and paint them before rust gets them:
Before:

After:

2) I decided to test my new Stone-tumbler, so i had to assamble it first:

installed and “rattling”:

My first attempt with walnut-shells and a few test-screws:

Actually the result sucks because after reading the manual i figured out i’d also need a special sanding-lube (or whatever it’s called in english) some brush-paste or something like that. allready ordered a package… :D

3) Now i have the taillights so it’s time to get them fitted and that ugly old different-taillight-installation stuff removed: (me at work :D )

that’s how the “Holes” loooked afterwards, still need a lot of detailing and work to look OEM:

But yeah, the taillights fit through the holesĀ  now:

And looks even better with the surrounding plates installed:

Thats it for today, hope to get updates on more regular basis soon again…
