I sent it to my local vintage parts shop, they also reskin dashes. Where abouts are you?

Haha a few people have said they did the exact same thing so easy mistake to make! Good luck!

Bondo! That’s it lol I was trying to remember what you guys say and all I could come up with was filler lol cheers man!

Hi Jacob, I’m not an expert on 2+2’s but I don’t believe they are the same due to the different bumpers, but have a search around the forums and you should find the answer.

Thanks Alastair! Really appreciate your comments Lol I was astounded 😳 same quality of work all over the car….unfortunately

*well, not we’ll.

Lol it’s not, it’s actually very very rusty, but it’s what I’ve got now! Hopefully we will chip away and bring her back to life! Thanks for watching

Hahaha I get that a lot, I don’t know why I say Zee! Thanks for your support!

Haha too true! Yeah that’s the plan, epoxy straight after. These guys only do cars so they know what they’re doing in terms of abrasives, I can’t wait to get it done and start replacing metal! it’s been a long time coming!

✊🏽

Thanks mate, I honestly feel like giving up every second or third day lol 😂 just gonna keep chipping away

And a screwdriver…. Wait till you see what’s in the roof…

I’m honestly expecting the blaster to just hand me back a few drums of sand lol 😂

Thanks mate!

Thanks, that means a lot! These sort of comments keep the motivation up! Thanks for watching!

Man that means a lot to hear that! Haha It wasn’t an intentional absence, went through some difficult times losing my mum last year but we’re definitely back in action! Thanks for watching

I feel ya!!! Lost my Dad at 55yrs old from Alzheimer's 2yrs ago. Keep your head up bro!!!!

I will be referring to this video for sure when we get to the interior portion of our 240z build!!!

@@DustyMacsGarage sorry for your loss mate, it’s a rough ride for sure. Gone too soon…

Hahaha I appreciate the pressure! It’s coming soon, I’ve been very lazy with my editing lately.

Cheers mate! Yes I’m definitely confident enough to start some metal work on her. Had some personal things going on last year but getting back to work on the car very very soon hopefully!

Haha I know right…. I have just started up again. Next episode in a few weeks hopefully. 🤞🏽

Thanks man I appreciate it! Yes my mum was unwell all this year and she just passed recently so I have been preoccupied. But the build is slowly progressing behind the scenes in terms of buying parts and tools I will need. I plan to start up again soon, thanks for reaching out!

@@240zbuiltbyme5 Hey man, sorry to hear that.. im very interested in ur progress keep it up. I planning to get my self a Datsun to i might need sum advice

@@240zbuiltbyme5 I just stumbled upon your channel, and was wondering why you havent posted in a while. Sorry to hear about your Mom passing!!! Thoughts and prayers with ya!!!! Im Re-building a 240z for my wife on my channel and man is it alot of work. Best wishes bro!!!!

@@DustyMacsGarage thanks mate! I’ve been working in the back ground, just being slack with editing. It’s a lots of work as you know! I have a bunch of your videos on my watchlist but just haven’t got round to watching!

@@Ryan-wf7sh I completely understand bro!!! Filming and planning and editing take up sooo much time!!! Glad to hear your still working on your Z. Also stoked you have some of my videos on your watchlist!!! Stay in touch bro!!!

Hi mate if you google “list of fasteners 240z” you will see a classiczcars.com link as the second result. Go into that thread and someone posted pdf called “S30 hardware pictures” which has a compilation of pictures and labels for all the fasteners. This should help you organize what you have. Hope this helps

@@240zbuiltbyme5 hell. yea! ty soo much!

I did think it might be a setting, I tried playing with the wire speed to get rid of it, my welder only has 3 settings for voltage and it’s set on the correct one for the thickness steel I’m using... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just on the tripod! I realized I need more B roll, and looking to transition to doing my narration post vid instead of during. More interesting that way and my sound won’t suck so bad!

Aww shux bro! 🥰

LOL

Thanks Graham! It’s a slow process.... only get to work on it once a fortnight but we’ll get there! Cheers for watching 👍🏽

That’s generally how a restoration goes... pockets are plenty deep, don’t worry your little head about that

Thanks for watching Kev! Yes I’ve made several mistakes so far but nothing that can’t be recovered from. I agree nothing teaches you quicker than screwing up! No I didn’t do the wire trick for the rear harness, however I have to cut the rear arches out and could install one while I’m doing that, good tip, I’ll put it on my list. Thanks again Ryan

Hi Leo go on my Instagram and send me a pm, 240zbuiltbyme

Yeah I am mate, got it from a local z guy in perth. He doesn’t have any others unfortunately, they’re pretty rare nowadays which is why I grabbed it as soon as I knew he had one.

Hahaha 🤪 🐝

Thanks mate! Yes I hear you on that one, I run a excel sheet jobs list and organize my brain on there. Cheers for watching

Thanks mate! I’m getting quite impatient, want to get stuck into the rust repairs already! Thanks for watching

Thanks mate! Appreciate you watching! Can’t wait to actually fix something... Soon hopefully!

Yes it needs some work but much better shape that mine!

@@240zbuiltbyme5 not totally convinced that the replacement roof is better! The fold above the rain gutter looks a little softer than it should be and it might be full of bog too! Might just be the shine on the paint on the camera but excited to find out! Please get a bottle of gas and ditch the flux core wire. Thank me later.....

@@benheynen2705 hey Ben cheers for watching, my spare roof is most definitely in better condition! I can see all the spot welds in the rain gutter so no bog. Haha don’t worry the gas less wire came free with the welder and will only be used to build the chassis jig and rotisserie. Once moving onto body panels gas is given.

Sure is... it’s not really commitment though if it’s just sitting in a shed rotting away lol now is when the commitment really starts! Thanks for watching

Hi Juan! I just used an open ended spanned to undo the bolts. Yes it’s an awkward job! Just have to get the bolts loose then I undid the rest by hand. Thanks for watching! Ryan

@ZCarGuide thanks mate! Do chime in with any advice you have along the way! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Hahaha! It ain’t gonna be easy and it’s probably gonna take forever! But I will do it. I’m one stubborn SOAB! Thanks for watching
