These were new rotors that came with the coil overs off the green 2 door.

I started to make some center caps for my wheels out of fiberglass. I searched high and low for the right size to no avail so this is my solution. The next step is to paint them silver to match the center of the rims.

Nice work. Are the struts 510 or 280zx? Any updates on the 2 door?

The new seat covers arrived from Motorsport Auto and these are a work of art. Now time to try my hand at installing new seat covers for the first time.

Been doing some work to the Bean... I will be welding on a sedan fuel door but I had to cut 3/4" out to make it shallower so I will have more room for the fuel tube. Hope it works...

Next up was to remove the hood to repaint another color. I think a dark bronze on the hood and the rear ward part of the spook spoiler leaving a 1" orange stripe around the front edge.
Got the paint stripped off the hood and removed the dent that was hidden under filler and pulled the dent on the rear underside.

Good to see your still in the game Terry, for a while there I thought you may have moved on to other projects.
