240Z: Oil filler cap cleaned, taillight holes cutted

I have a new favorite tool of metal destruction, but more on that later 🙂
1) Started with cleaning the “Elephant” oil filler cap today:
– Tools of choice: old toothbrush, acetone and the oil filler cap:

got inspired by inzane’s blog, probably i’ll highlight the textures too (like he did). kinda like it. but here’s the result for now – really like it! and the o-ring looks good, so no replacement needed 🙂

2) now back to my new favorite metal tool..
– this is how the taillight-cutouts looked about an hour ago – still a lot of “wrong” metal there from the attempt to add different taillights (some corvette kind of…), which some of the previous owners did..

now here’s my new favorite tool: FIBER DISKS 🙂 so much fun and so fast to work with:

and here’s how the taillights looked after i used the disks:

Still needs much sanding and detailing to get it perfect, but at least i don’t have too much “wrong” metal there now and no sharp edges. great 😀

also oredered some tools and stuff from around the world again, hope they arrive here soon 🙂
