Just HAD to drive it to the front of the shop where the hose is!!!!
Got the drivers side done, now the passenger side!!!! I didn't bother to put the door handle on yet. Got alot of rust in the rear quarter panel and a dent to fix. The rear is all set, but gonna wait for paint to put the bumper on..........

Looks great Gary. please keep us posted on progress. It's fun to see a car that is on its way back to being restored. Can't wait to see it in person - hopefully at the October event. Regards, Ross

Watching the progress of a Z car restoration is one of life's greatest rewards! (as long as somebody ELSE is paying for it!) :lol:

Today's digital technology gives each of us an advantage we didn't have Back in The Day ~ instant images without running out of film, having to pay and wait for development, etc. This is invaluable during a Restoration or even a major repair ~ if you take pix of everything BEFORE you start tearing it down, it makes life a LOT easier if you have questions while putting it back together.

I'm proud of Gary for his determination on this car. It seems to invent some new Gremlin each time he conquers one, but he keeps on swinging with both fists and he's making more progress in the past month than he has in the past year! That's the indefeasible spirit common among Z owners, which keeps these cars on the road decade after decade.

Keep punchin' Gary! Good On Ya', Mate!
