Up to August now. I think Rowan has the finest family of vice grips that I have ever seen.

Wow, thanks for sharing.
It's great to see the detail in the photo's and the work that's go in to get it where it is now.
Amazing talent!

yes, Rowan is a real craftsman. I have many more detailed pictures so if there is a particular area that someone wants to look more closely at let me know.

This is an incredible process to watch.Apart from the body, are the interior and mechanical
components ready to be reinstalled, or do they need restoring also ?
Any estimated time to have it back on the road.?

I have most of the interior, reproduction plastic panels for the hatch area, a full vinyl kit including seat covers. Need to rebuild the seats and have the dash recovered. Suspension is all ready to bolt back in. The engine and gear box, apart from cleaning I’m not touching at this time. It was running well when I pulled it out.
I would quite like to have her back on the road by the end of 2022 to celebrate her 50th birthday!

A big thank you for posting these pictures up. I just love to see this type of work. As a former panel beater, I know what sort of effort this takes, and am really impressed with the quality of the workmanship going into this build.

It looks to me like it will be shown car by the time it is finished, would you consider entering it into the 2023 Ellerslie Concourse here in Auckland. It's been a very long time since a 240Z has been seen in the inner circle. We have members that would be more than willing to help you do the final clean for the inner circle. I feel you would have a good shot at this prestigious award.
