Now my work is finished, as I write in the restore showroom it was a lot work, to put off the old painting and cleaning it with CARSON PAINT KILLER and acetone free nail polisher.
Today I put on the last decals and put on a little more extra, which I have laying around since years. The decals I bought from eBay are not the best, since they are very old, I used my hair dryer to make them smooth and elastic, but they won't work like I want them, so I tried to do my best, for me it's okay since they are old.
I scan them and ordered a copy at RCdecals, especially the front 33 is not like I want it, but maybe the copy is elastic and smooth.
So at the and I added a little more decals to hide some little breaks and edges at the body and it come out great for me.
Also I used some window tint film for the side and rear windows.
Hope you enjoy the restored DATSUN 280 ZX :)

Very, very nice restauration on the Datsun. old decals never were any good around oneven surfaces. But that is part of the vintage fun to me. Very cool car!
