ye does look like the 350z paint an im sure if you left a little bit of that colour on the car when it goes for paint they will be able to match the colour if you choose to keep it or if you have to cut a panel out with that colour on take it to a local paint shop an they will tell you

thats easy to repair dan the man, if you leave that part i will do that bit with you when i come down all you do it cut the section out in one go and make cardboard patch which fits perfect(cereal box is best) and then scribe onto steel cut weld dress paint.

i would get you to help but its not being put back on road till its perfect and completely rust free

yeah thats what i mean i will fix it for you when i come down to yours

just a quick update not much has happened been at collage all the time then working on free days but have got new fibreglass back doors on the way off the old owner i will be saving the old doors to need to decide do i go fibreglass front flip or do i stick with metal im going to make it a turbo supercharger so want it really fast sort of a sleeper so will look stadards from outside ect

Well, if you want it to look standard from the outside then it's probably going to be 'metal' front. Something I have been considering for a project of mine is to add tabs behind the front seams so the front wings can be screwed together and have the seam cover placed in a stock like manner then sectioning the inner wing so with about 6 or so screws per side I could remove the whole nose of my mini. It should be hard to detect as removable, and not hard to remove.
