Message	A little update on the Z's progress. We recently started stripping the paint. It is a lot of work. But it needed all the old layers gone. We are making a really big mess :) Almost stripped down...our glass guy flaked on us so we went on with the glass in place for the moment Stange Parking The stripping begins! More stripping The spots on the door are spot welds rusting through from the inside Needs some primer Just a few layers Getting there Still more stripping and more... More ready for primer The back panel below the tailights and the hatch has also been done. As well as the t-top area and driver's side. Everything has been at least covered primer for now. Now the body work begins. A little welding (antenna, washer nozzles, rear wiper, old spoiler holes).
