ok so been a while and im ashamed to say i had put the car up for sale as i brought a new car as i needed a Economical car :(

But on a brighter note it didn't sell and still hasn't sold so i have decided to keep it funds permitting etc

  • 8 months later...

Well the car didnt sell so i decided to keep her and sell my 350z

i wasnt fully happy with the work i had done so decided to redo it

so stage one of the new work consisted of stripping the bits i didnt need off the car and then prepping the new bits and the car ready for the transformation to start

next step was to flat the lacquer and give it a polish this does however show where you didnt put enough lacquer on as im no professional i did cut to far on a few bits and have had to redo some bits but we all have to learn


so here it is after the 1st cut and buff

during the spray session the wheels got a bit of over spray so it was time to give them a new lease of life but being wolfrace wheels they are not worth refurbishing professionally so i gave them a quick going over to see what they would look like

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point.

If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
