Default Improving the $800 350Z

I don't have pictures of when I first got the car, I can get some when it was impounded though in the next couple of days. But when I first got it it had no front bumper as the previous owner got into a minor front accident. This is the progress I've made in the last 3 months, I know not much for 3 months, but I'm a tow truck driver and don't get much time to myself.

Rome wasn't built in a day. There are many on this forum who have been building their Z for years! All that matters is that you are making progress.

Is it plasti-dipped? Why are there red spots mixed in with the black? Primer/sanded?

Not Plasti dipped, previous owner was a crackhead, there are several layers of **** paint over the factory paint and black was there latest with red splashes. I still have a little frame straightening to do where the bumper support bolts on, after that's done then the car will get sanded/stripped and ready for paint. That probably won't happen till August though, I'm headed for basic in February and will be back late July.
Still thinking of what color to do though.

Mike, you might want to look at the comment I made about your front Z34 wheels here: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...l#post11010631
