Everyone in this video is performing many of those same skilled tasks with simple and basic tools. I hope you continue to post more videos of your projects. There's an audience for the work you do and the way you do it. I subscribed to your channel. 👍

This is because the service costs here are not as good as in your country where they are paid hourly, even though automotive equipment is very expensive, but we do our best with limited tools Thank you for subscribing, it means a lot to us where are you from?

a very precarious job. many details in the repair of the metal. they definitely don't know sandblasting (for example). unrestored interior. that car needs more love!
We know sandblasting and acid to remove rust all over the body and chassis, but those facilities don't exist here, all because the service costs in this country are different from your country which is paid per hour, even though the price of automotive equipment is very expensive.
My girl friend in college had a 240z that I loved to drive. I bought a 77 28oz 2 + 2 that was my dream car. It rusted and my supervisor sold me his 85 300zx with a turbo that was fast but did not handle well. I now own a 2004 G35 with the premium package with an automatic trans. I am looking at the 2023 Z but am afraid the crazy car market may make it too expensive to buy. I will settle for a clean 370z and drive it until I die!
wow it looks like the z series plays an important role in your life, and that's the right thing. the z series is an underrated car in my opinion because it loses prestige to the skyline but the z series is very beautiful and timeless.. where you from?
Nice work, please protect your health too. It reminds me of my dad Datsun 120Y which was the same colour, which he owned between the 1980s to the early 1990s.
@@kiatmotor_ No unfortunately we sold it in 1992, we then moved to a Nissan B12. I am from Mauritius found in the middle of the Indian Ocean. But the sound of the Nissan A12 engine in the 120Y is something which I miss, I am also surprised by its performance for a car which also weighed only 830Kg with a small engine displacement of 1171cc.
I still have one. I think. It's at my parents house in Ireland. Unfortunately I just learned the roof came down on the shed some time ago. Oof. Turd brown, stick shift , two door sedan. Looked damn cool with the chrome bumpers.
@@kiatmotor_ I’ve only seen one, and a couple 510s. I saw a pristine 1985 300zx the other day but it’s definitely rare. And we’re just starting to see right side drive Skylines the last 5 years due to importing rules. 100% nothing as nice as the 240z you restored.
@@BridgesOnBikes I thought there were a lot of 240z in the usa, because in the past this car was very popular in the usa market but it turned out that my guess was wrong
They made some nice looking floor replacement panels. Pity it didn't show them being replace. As I've got some floor patch panels for mine and want to see the job being done, never mind, I'll sort them out.
so i found a 240z for cheap in my area that needs some work, just wanna know about anything to be weary of like common rust spots ect, idk much about them but im excited to get into the car
where are you from? if your place is easy to find parts for 240z then it's not a problem. for the body, you don't need to bother because of rust or porous, you can make new parts, just find a good workshop
Great job, the guys are masters at their work! At the same time, to see them wearing zero protection while they work is scary. They will either develop cancers or other illnesses. Give them some protection ASAP.
I would have preferred seeing the body sandblasted in a safe environment and then protected. Love this car though. I almost bought one when I was 18 years old! I should have. Was $3,000 back then.
Shame the owner skimped and didn't cap the cracked dash and some new carpet, paint the panels, swap it to black to go with the orange. Beat up old back bumper etc. Maybe later as funds allow he will do it himself? There is always hope. Neat RHD Fairlady Z. Kiat Motor, INDONESIA. You guys do GOOD work!
This car part is hard to find in Indonesia, maybe the owner is looking for some replacement parts. thank you very much sir, glad to get good comments from you where are you from? always glad to be able to exchange comments with people in other parts of the world
Wow, you did all.that work and then put the nasty carpet back in with the original nasty bumpers ...that crazy. You should have called this video Rust Repair on 240Z.
@@kiatmotor_ I've owned two 280Z the second one I owned had a VIN number of 415 it was worth quite a bit of money in my ex-wife stole it out of storage unit. I was at a car show and no one came to look at my car except haggerty insurance and told me it was around 30 grand back then because of the VIN number And then they started going up in price
sorry for what you experienced with your ex-wife, but indeed classic cars are now very expensive and can even be used as investments, things we didn't think about 10 years ago
i am curious if they have whole car dipping facilties in Indonesia. seems like that would be a better way to prepare the body . also, if this was my restore, i would see if lead could be used as filler instead of bondo
As far as we know there are no car dipping facilities in Indonesia, sandblasting is also very rare here that's because our rates are not as high as in the usa or europe which can reach $100/hour while the price of equipment for automotive is very expensive
I got one of these 2 Seater Righthand Drive for sale. I owned ist for 40 years now but getting too old for it now. It's 260Z with round bumpers. No Rust, no cracks in dash, many spares, never been driven in rain and always garaged. Will ship worldwide. For details let me know.
It's great to see people commenting regarding the safety aspects involved in this video. Sadly in "3rd world" countries labour is cheap - because the safety of the worker is not a consideration by the law makers or companies. Often (though note likely in this case) it's because First Worlders want cheap goods, and don't take the time to think about the workers making those goods... Great restoration, btw. Have been a Zed guy since 1999 when I got my first, a 280zx. Hoping to find a good car to do an electric conversion on soon! :)
where are you from? if given a choice, we also want to get paid $ 100/hour like in the usa, that way we can buy tools that can make our work easier. where is your 280z now? is it permissible to drive a classic car in your country?
@@kiatmotor_ I'm from Australia. I think the world is sadly very much a place of "haves and have-nots" - doesn't matter where you live. Some people will be rich, and some poor. Both within the 1 country, and then within the whole world. My first 280zx was so rusty, I ended up taking everything off the frame and building a new one with a non rusty frame. Then, sadly, more rust... and a baby came along, and I couldn't afford to keep a sports car. :( I could buy a 280zx today and drive it every day if I wanted. There's no laws against it here. I expect as we move toward electric cars though that the Australian Government will bring in laws that make Zed Cars a lot harder to own / drive...
I have so many concerns with this "full restoration". This car was in very good condition to start with, it needed minimal welding, it wasn't crashed, etc. I wish it wasnt even repainted, just paint corrected on the places where welding was done, then polished. It would be worth more in that way. If you want to full paint a car and remove all the rust, I stongly recommend sand blasting the whole chassis inside and out, because it was painful to watch all that scraping and grinding of paint. Also, I hope you took apart the whole suspension and brakes, changed the bushings, etc, not just painted it all toegether like shown in the video. I won't even start about the engine...it seemed like you didnt take it apart at all, just plated some screws and whatnot to make it look shinier. This is very much effort, but the car would be worth more if you left it as much original as you could. Thats my opinion. If you guys want to see proper restorations of 240Z, look up S30world, it's a small company focusing only on 240Zs. We restore cars to the last tiny screw to be as it left the factory.
hello dudes, we are a workshop that focuses on working on the body, not machines or suspensions and others. This car arrived not original, when we scraped the paint off we found blue paint that had been overwritten, so the owner decided to repaint this car. we are in Indonesia with a service fee unlike in the US which can reach $100/hour, so we or other workshops in Indonesia do not have sand blasting, most will use paint remover to scrape the paint but we choose to use a heat gun where do you come from?
I'm surprised you don't dip the bodies to remove the paint and filler from the shell; more expensive, but more thorough. Also interesting you use clear coat; I don't think the original Z cars used the clear coat process, although ultimately that is faster.
in Indonesia there are no body restoration workshops that use dyeing because here we are not paid as well as in Europe or the USA which can reach $100/hour z series doesn't use clear coat? then use what?
@@kiatmotor_ That makes sense; dipping can be expensive, particularly if labor is far cheaper than it is in the US or Europe. For that vintage of cars, I believe it's correct to use alkyd enamel, although admittedly, this takes more work than multi-stage paints like clear coat. Nice job though. I like your work.
Exactly my thoughts. Also it's not even that rusty unerneath, it's just light surface rust, very good condition for a 50 years old car with original deadening.
thank you for watching, the bumper has been re-chromed but the interior has not been restored because we are only working on the body. where are you from? are there many 240z there?
we only do the body parts, remove all the rust, make some parts and then paint them because that's our expertise. engine and interior are not our forte, so we don't do that
The workers deserve all the credit, apparently the conditions in the working environment are terrible. No uniform, no shoes, no protective glasses, no hearing protection breathing dust. It gets to be sad.
we are far below that, our calculation is per project not per hour like in the USA. for restorations with a lot of porous we usually start at $ 7000, cheap right?
Why bother using a workbench or a table when the floor is right there! Hurt my back seeing these guys bent down all the time lol. Jokes aside, turned out very nice. Just lacking basic safety measures for these guys. But hey that’s how they roll on these places. Rock on!
yes that's the reality here, our work is not appreciated like in your country which can reach $ 100 per hour. but we still prioritize quality because this is art. where are you from? are there many classic cars there?
Cost for this? And good vapour masks sourced in are Asia are not that expensive if bought in bulk, many good manufacturers there, where do you think 3M source there stuff!
Imagine these guys in a proper shop with high tech tools and safety equipment. They are amazing.
I appreciate the hours of work and the car owner supporting the business. It’s never too late to adopt much safer sanding, grinding and spraying protection for those guys. Absorbing all that sh&t through skin and lungs is just nasty 😳
Thought the same thing. Excellent work, but even primer is really bad to breathe in without true protection.

My first 280zx was so rusty, I ended up taking everything off the frame and building a new one with a non rusty frame. Then, sadly, more rust... and a baby came along, and I couldn't afford to keep a sports car. :(
I could buy a 280zx today and drive it every day if I wanted. There's no laws against it here. I expect as we move toward electric cars though that the Australian Government will bring in laws that make Zed Cars a lot harder to own / drive...
I love full restoration.
Yes it certainly is to be appreciated I have an 85 300 and I wish they would work on my car
where are you from? it must be very nice to open a branch workshop there
Very Good, Good Job.
One of the reasons these cars are not around anymore is the fact that they rusted faster than they could be prevented from doing so.
Old school tehnic 👍
thank you for watching
I have so many concerns with this "full restoration".
This car was in very good condition to start with, it needed minimal welding, it wasn't crashed, etc. I wish it wasnt even repainted, just paint corrected on the places where welding was done, then polished. It would be worth more in that way. If you want to full paint a car and remove all the rust, I stongly recommend sand blasting the whole chassis inside and out, because it was painful to watch all that scraping and grinding of paint. Also, I hope you took apart the whole suspension and brakes, changed the bushings, etc, not just painted it all toegether like shown in the video. I won't even start about the engine...it seemed like you didnt take it apart at all, just plated some screws and whatnot to make it look shinier. This is very much effort, but the car would be worth more if you left it as much original as you could. Thats my opinion.
If you guys want to see proper restorations of 240Z, look up S30world, it's a small company focusing only on 240Zs. We restore cars to the last tiny screw to be as it left the factory.
hello dudes,
we are a workshop that focuses on working on the body, not machines or suspensions and others.
This car arrived not original, when we scraped the paint off we found blue paint that had been overwritten, so the owner decided to repaint this car.
we are in Indonesia with a service fee unlike in the US which can reach $100/hour, so we or other workshops in Indonesia do not have sand blasting, most will use paint remover to scrape the paint but we choose to use a heat gun
where do you come from?

Man, I would totally buy one if i had the money, space to park it, skill to drive and the time to maintain one
me too !!!!
❤️👍🇻🇪😎 Excellent work say hello from Venezuela beauty car
hello Venezuela, nice to meet you ..is there a 240z in venezuela?
That’s a lot of rust being painted over… Not my preferred approach. OHS seems optional there too!
Where are you guys based and do you sell these restored chasis ?
i am from indonesia, and you?
we don't sell restored chasis, This car is very rare here
pak bersihin karatnya gimana ? pakai semprotan pasir kah ?
detail, keren banget👌🏼
Terimakasih
I'm surprised you don't dip the bodies to remove the paint and filler from the shell; more expensive, but more thorough. Also interesting you use clear coat; I don't think the original Z cars used the clear coat process, although ultimately that is faster.
in Indonesia there are no body restoration workshops that use dyeing because here we are not paid as well as in Europe or the USA which can reach $100/hour
z series doesn't use clear coat? then use what?
@@kiatmotor_ That makes sense; dipping can be expensive, particularly if labor is far cheaper than it is in the US or Europe.
For that vintage of cars, I believe it's correct to use alkyd enamel, although admittedly, this takes more work than multi-stage paints like clear coat.
Nice job though. I like your work.

That's not paint you peeled off around the spare, that's the stock sound deadening with paint on it. Calling you out as BS @ 1:35 in.
it's a painted damper, but still it's paint. lol
Exactly my thoughts. Also it's not even that rusty unerneath, it's just light surface rust, very good condition for a 50 years old car with original deadening.
Baru ngeh ternyata di Indonesia
Halo, iya betul kami workshop di Indonesia 🙂 terimakasih sudah menonton
This is a color that a few elegant pinstripes might have looked nice on.
This is a color with the original formula for its time, the colors of old cars were less saturated LOL
should have gone all the way with new carpet and rechromed bumpers and interior fixtures. Nice car though!
thank you for watching, the bumper has been re-chromed but the interior has not been restored because we are only working on the body.
where are you from? are there many 240z there?
very nice osha approved flip flops. why did they do all this work and not put new carpet in and fix the bumper?
we only do the paint and restoration
Please, whats the name of the very first song?
I drove one of these 42 years ago :)
Why put that old red interior back in?
we only do the body parts, remove all the rust, make some parts and then paint them because that's our expertise. engine and interior are not our forte, so we don't do that
Buatcivic es full kerok brp y
langsung konsultasi ke owner kami aja om, nomor ada di profil instagram

siap terimakasih sarannya
Perbedaan 240 260 280 Z selain beda cc mesin apakah geometry suspensi berbeda? Ter debest handling tipe yg mana infooo
Mesin dan kaki2 tidak di rebuild sekalian ya?
Kita kerjakan body saja sesuai keahlian kami 😀
How much does such work cost me? Please reply because I own a Datsun 73 240 z
which is definitely much cheaper than the repair shop in your country
5:45 there's something to be said about respirators. 🤯🤦♂️
The workers deserve all the credit, apparently the conditions in the working environment are terrible. No uniform, no shoes, no protective glasses, no hearing protection breathing dust. It gets to be sad.
I see uniforms lol maybe you just blind
Ima need y’all to rebuild my datsun 240z 😂🔥
send to us LOL, where you from?
@@kiatmotor_ Nebraska USA and let me know how much 👀
how much does restoration cost in nebraska? $100/hour?
@@kiatmotor_ I’m not sure probably around their
we are far below that, our calculation is per project not per hour like in the USA. for restorations with a lot of porous we usually start at $ 7000, cheap right?
All that work and they put the old carpet and interior back in?
We only do body restoration and repaint, the interior will be done by another workshop
Wouldn't bead blasting be better?
Exactly, but unfortunately in Indonesia this facility is very rarely found
Where you from?
Why bother using a workbench or a table when the floor is right there! Hurt my back seeing these guys bent down all the time lol. Jokes aside, turned out very nice. Just lacking basic safety measures for these guys. But hey that’s how they roll on these places. Rock on!
yes that's the reality here, our work is not appreciated like in your country which can reach $ 100 per hour. but we still prioritize quality because this is art.
where are you from? are there many classic cars there?
I’m pretty sure EVERY OSHA inspector who watched this died of an instant heart attack. Flip flops in a work shop????? LOL
Osha fights fire in outer space now. #StarWars
You should move the steering wheel to the correct side.
Correct side? Do you mean left side?
Ha Ha
It's a Japanese car, the steering is on the correct side.
I knew the safety Sally's would be going crazy in the comments 😂😂😂😂
Amazing amount of work, but orange on the outside with red interior? Yikes! Should have gone black inside because wow do those colours clash.
yes it should be as you imagine, but we only restore the body only
That's one of the most frightening things Ive ever seen, I feel sorry for those guys, hardly any protection whilst spraying, etc
"Break the Paint"? Isn't that the painted Sound Deadening???
All that work and no re-dye on the carpet and vinyl?!
we only do painting and restoration, we don't do interior and other parts
where you come from?
Cost?
BAGIAN BAWAH NYA GA DI CAT DAN PLINGKUT ULANG PAK? MOBILNYA GA DI KAMBING GULING KAN PAK?
Undercarriage sudah kita flinkote
Mobil tidak di rotisserie, kami dan owner takut kalau rotisserie akan mempengaruhi body
20:15 si abang.. yg lain kerja, dia malah tidur
Cost for this?
And good vapour masks sourced in are Asia are not that expensive if bought in bulk, many good manufacturers there, where do you think 3M source there stuff!
berapa biaya restorasi ini? kerja bagus
biaya restorasi tergantung kondisi mobil, mini cooper dan motor mini milikmu sangat keren
Full restoration means everything new.
OSHA has left the chat...
I wonder what it cost to restore the whole car like that?
maybe $10.000 ,surely it's cheaper than where you are?
where you from?
@@kiatmotor_ Iceland
@@gnarlin4964 So glad this video reached Iceland, are there many 240z there?
@@kiatmotor_ Not many, no.
Only thing wrong with the car is that the steering is on the wrong side and that non-shinny paint woulda buffed out fine.
Я бы не доверил им свой автомобиль
