240Z: A visit to the bodyshop again :)

I hate visiting my bodyshop guy because everytime i go there, he reveals some more rust he found. But then again i love it because the work he does is clearly a work of art which not many people in the world can do… But let’s start from the beginning of this week. He finally started to work on my car again and kept updating me with whatsapp messages about every step he did. Well – most of them were more problems which he discovered:

Dents and cheap-ass unqualified rust-repairs and patches everywhere.  Here’s a closer look at the right rear corner. seems like it got a hit at some point:

He asked me to bring the rear lower corner valances and the rear panel today so he could prepare the rest of the repair and when i arrived there i was greeted by this. Jup- not much of the original car left 🙂

But the good news is, as you look closer – the dents in the rear area right from the taillights have been fixed and the area below the gas lid has been fixed as well:

This was the patch panel he cutout below the gas lid:  

Here the custom panel is welded in. We installed the gas-lid today and it fit perfectly. Quite impressive for a custom-made piece! I made some cool other pictures where we were test-fitting the tabco replacement rear fenders, but for some reason my camera lost them.

Expecting big updates soon but as you look close you see there are still a ton of details to be fixed before the big stuff happens. It’s all about the details, baby 🙂
