1977 Datsun 280z Restoration

Bought in Kansas in January of 2016 with a seized motor and a lot of body work needed
Before Pictures
Started with taking everything apart and stripping the paint. Once the paint was stripped the magnitude of the body work that was needed became apparent.
I built a custom car rotisserie to enable me to work on the car at different angles much easier.
I am now in the process of finishing body work to get it ready implant a new modern drivetrain, an LS1 and a TR6060.
Time Lapses
This project has also allowed me to get into powder coating.
More to come...
