240Z: Fender works completed

Found another hour to work on my car. and one thing on the to-do list was the rubber mud flaps that are installed inside the fender in below the metal mud guards. Another little detail that is missing on many cars, as they have been simply removed and not replaced on many cars over the year:

Here we go:

On the LH fender (Similar to the RH one). some previous owner “cleaned” the Fender emblem holes. which was a common practice back then.

On the RH side i tried to drill the holes based on some measures i had previously made, but it proved to be not 100% perfect. so this time i decided to use the color stencil method by getting the approximate position marked on the fender by measures. And thenn getting the 100% correct spacing by adding oil color paint to the pins and then pressing it to the fender, like a stencil.

here’s the result (ignore the old marking i have made previously, they were quite wrong).

After that i got my holes drilled. The 4th hole, which is slightly lower than the three mounting holes, is there from factory, and i believe it’s to drain moisture that is cought behind the emblem that’s why it’s at the lowest point of the emblem.
Also rust protection primer added.

And here we go. I haven’t pushed the emblem in completely, because i’d remove it again immediately. Also i will probably use the european “Datsun” instead of the “Fairlady Z” emblems. Good thing is they use the exactly same holes.

Then installed the LH fender back on. the front end work is progressing slowly but steadily:

Maybe it’s just me, but i think the Z looks so much cooler with the original long stalk Fender mirrors:

So overall i was able to tick another few tasks from my bodywork to-do list. still plenty of work, but getting there and it’s fun to see some progress.
