Project 240K

The 240Z shell has sold (and only in 2 days), so i decided to “re-invest” the money into the 240K.

My wife and I decided it would be a good time to get the 240K sandblasted and epoxy coated.

I had been in contact with Cam at Imperial Blasting (up in Beresfield, near Newcastle), and in conjunction with their next door neighbour Kranky Kustoms, they are going to rush the job through for me, getting the shell and bonnet completely sand blasted and epoxy primed, then paint the underside and engine bay in 2012 Mercedes-Benz Mars Red

To get the car to the blaster, i had to build up a set of wheeled skids that clipped between the underside rails. Once these were made, and the car was off the rotisserie, the car was wheel-able once more (though i personally think 16″ wheels were better looking). It took a bit of effort to get the car down the driveway (an electric winch helped) and onto the trailer.. the car spent a little time resting on the rear  spare wheel well (hopefully not too much damage) due to the attack angle of the trailer vs the driveway slope – should have made the skids bigger.. but they did work and didn’t collapse as i was expecting them to

Luckily the car made it to Newcastle in one piece. Hopefully i should hear back in the next few days on the progress and get some update pictures up.
