FRIENDS: Stefans Yonmeri C110 Project update
My buddy Stefan recently finished his Laurel C30 Project, so work on his highly awaited C110 “Yonmeri” skyline four-door sedan project started. Check out regular updates on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KyushaK/ Here a little summary of the recent updates: First the car got stripped completely: Tar mats and sound deadening stuff got removed using the classic dry-ice method. Compared to my rusty shell this car looks quite solid: And then he put it in the rotisserie to remove the final bolts and bits. This makes me happy. He once built the rotisserie for my Z-Project and this piece of metal is the reason we know each other and i guess…

OTHER: JDM Neighborhood
Every now and then i like to post about special japanese (not neccesarely “JDM”) cars i randomly snap around my area. When i was at my bodyshop i figured out there were some pretty funky cars in the backyard.

240Z: News from the Bodyshop (rear end work)
So here we go again. Last week i visited the Bodyshop to bring him the rear quarter panel as a reference for the other side he’s currently working on and while there i had a little chat with him and a look around. The rear quarter is coming along nicely and i love when you can see the rare and pure metalwork with all the bondo and stuff gone. It proves that the car is in brilliant shape after work is done 🙂 As you can see he also started work on the rear end. The bent rear lower panel was gone. What you see here is the panel inside…

240Z: NOS Rear Quarter panel arrived + Hayashi Catalogue
On Thursday i was finally able to pick up the NOS rear quarter panel, which i found online a few weeks ago. I wanted to thank the guys from https://www.swissconnection.us/ for their superior shipping service and the seller of this item for his great support. Thanks! Unfortunately it got a slight dent during shipping, but still a lot easier to fix compared to creating this complete panel from scratch and sheet metal 🙂 You can still see the sticker of the original Nissan Spareparts delivery back in the day: Beautiful to see all these original welds and shapes. I guess my Car is reaching Concours level soon with all these…

ATENZA: Interieur cleaning day
Nothing special, just spent an hour or so cleaning out the interieur of my daily Mazda yesterday, which has collected a fair amount of dust and dirt over the last months. And while at it, i decided to take a few pictures. One of them can be seen in the rotating header image now 🙂
