Hi guys, most of you know ive got Ross,s 260z in the garage, well lately ive been busy getting stuck into it, heres some pics .
Image
I cut a hole in the roof where there was a dodgy repair ,and found some cancer underneath, unfortunately I didnt check the camera for the memory card, so im a couple of photos short ,at this point i have fixed the cancer and replaced the guttering.
Image
just starting to fabricate the repair patch.

this piece was a bitch as it curved down and in at the same time,and it has the flange on the side for the gutter to weld to.

more rust cutting

been busy again, this time it was a late model 200sx, and the shed has once again done a tour of duty as a paint booth, I bought a near new hindon compressor, that really pumps the air out, and it has made a huge differance to the way the paint goes on, so smooth and glossy. :P
