Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is s*** but, hey, I'm in a police station.

Explanation accepted 
It sounds very like what i was doing a few years back, i was only going to throw on some bolt-on's to my Prelude, over the course of 1 month and the realisation that it was marked off-road, i decided i could maybe do some extra cleanup and maybe some other little mods. Turned into a full windows out re-spray along with all the rest....
Anyway, excellent, and you have a road going '06 too, nice

Sold that to help pay for the SC and mods - I do have a 260 and 300ZX (donor car) waiting as my next project though

Good evening another day in the shed and was very happy with the result.
The plan for today was to attack this -
So I set about it with my trusty sandblaster and after a mere 4 hours I had it to this point -
So back underneath for another 4 hour session O what fun LOL,
Anyway As the light started to fade I was happy -

So cleaned the Zedshed up
fixed a few sheared studs and bolts in captive nuts including this one which I decided replacing with a bolt would be the best option so I ground it level, drilled it through and ran an M6 die through. Sorted
Treated all the bare bits with some Jenolite and moved onto the really fun bit a spot paint and by the end of the day I had this -
That's all folks ............

Massive progress again mate! Im really loving this build as Its what I would love to have a go at given the space and time. Sand blasting at home is awesome! Did it make a huge mess or could you keep the mess down using sheeting etc? Bottom of the car looks fantastic now mate, the only problem is now when the cars done you will have so much time and love invested in it you would kill yourself if you smashed it up on track! LOL.. Thats how I feel!
Oh well half the fun for me is in the build and you must enjoy this type of stuff to be doing such a large DIY job!
Keep it up and you zed will be immaculate!

Sandblasting at home - very messy, I use crushed glass which is not as dirty as the oxide but it still makes a mess - having said that a good sweep up then I use the airline to blow all the surfaces clean leave the garage for an hour and its OK.
It is a great way of getting stuff clean though!
Wait til I get a top coat on the underside should look sweet
Thanks for the comments guys n gals

It's not sand blasting, but Bilt Hamber do exception rust treatment products, along with car care stuff, British company who i ended up using extensively in the rust treatment of my old Prelude.

Added some paint but I discovered it's really hard to take a picture of Black paint under a car at night so sorry about the poor pics will try and get some in daylight tomorrow.
Here they are anyway

Hello again - you lot not bored yet?
OK Tried to take some pictures in daylight I failed - The cameras nothing special as I'm banned from using the good one in the Zedshed
I'll post them anyway you'll just have to imagine how shiny it is
OK didn't do much tonight just stripped the diff down and checked the Kazza out - all looking like new (it's not that old) oil was like new as well.
Breaking News -
More toys arrived at the shed today and its not even December
Bad news was the state of the outer packaging !!!

These have come from Japan to the US of A then on to Blighty - However, Luckily for me it appears Bride believe in adding lots of foam for the journey and no damage done
Why? you ask did they come via the USA - well it was arranged to add a little something en route
My new twin plate clutch
Stay tuned
