1996 300ZX Full Detail

[Thomas Dekany]

This car is for sale with only about 30K on the odo. Several panels have been repainted.



The exterior took about 9.5 hours. As you can see I didn`t have a lot of space but I had a very pleasant time working on this paint.



Here are the only whole car pictures before I started.
