2011 370z project restore

1 Attachment(s)

Hi,

I bought my car as a project car of a dealer in the uk. It had a few issues

Roof did not lock shut
Boot was jammed shut
Some paintwork was needed. I think the last owner had sat an inch behind a gritter lorry !

Pics to follow

So far I have fixed the roof which had broken wires to the rear cover lock and a couple of broken arms on the main frame which apparently was not repairable.

Found rear subframe in poor condition, so stripped out and started cleaning it up.

The body is fine only light surface corrosion.

Yep, good time to replace all the bushings with SPL parts. The Diff bushings is a must. That's the big one in the sub frame.

It’s a bit harder to get stuff in the uk at a reasonable price point. Looked at energy suspension but they only do a 350z kit. Would this fit the 370z

Nice work. Maybe a top coat of "rock chip" paint/undercoat?
