Datsun 240Z

Sandblasting the iconic Datsun 240Z

Our gentle sandblasting has prepared more 240z’s than any other type of bodyshell due to two loyal customers within 50 miles of our workshop who restore these lovely cars.

A lot of them are imported from drier climates and are a pleasure sandblasting, with little underseal on and sun dried paint which is easy to remove.

The exeption was a show winning car that came from America.

It was bought by a young man  in the RAF who was devastated when we started sandblasting it and found rather more filler than normal.

It turned out to be a (cut and shunt), with a complete side welded in badly and we did a repacement bodyshell for him the following year which was much better.
