LOOK DOWN A FEW POSTS FOR THE EXTERIOR





Thats right, a 300ZX twin turbo. I`m not totally sure on the mods, but its definatly not stock.



Paint was in pretty bad shape, with swirls and scratches all over the car. The shippers from Japan really didn`t take much care for the car. The windows had acid rain pitting all over them, apparently very common on imported cars.



Anyways, I only did the exterior and engine bay on this one, but the weather made it feel much longer. It is currently 32 oC and with the humidex its 41. So you can imagin what it ws like at 1 or 2 o`clock, where we hit 36 oC for a couple minutes.



Processes for the engine bay were:



-Spray over 1 liter of degreaser over the engine and scrub witha tooth brush. (THAT THING IS CRAMPED!)

-Mist down engine to get rid of the degreaser.

- Allow to air dry while working on the rest of the exterior

-Soak down everything with 500 ML of armor all. (So much plastic :shocked )

I worked on the exhaust some more, and got the pipes all shined up all the way up to the turbo`s.

Very nice job. I don`t know how some people can make the cars they work on look so perfect in the sun with no swirls cause i can`t even remove a scratch.
