- Here is a 2 step build. 1st step was to restore the car back to 'shape' and the 2nd step was to color flip custom it with aftermarket wheels! I hope you like it.

Anyone else; you can't fix this

It's been reanimated! In the '80s, I worked at a small college, and one of the professor's son had a 260...he painted it the school colors ( purple and white). Sounds kind of heinous, but it looked better than it sounds.
Another successful reanimation!
"Can we fix this?" ---> "Yes we can!" --> "Rob the Builder" :-D
Glad you gave this casting a second chance. Awesome work 👍🏼. Thank you for posting these videos.
I wish You Tube allowed us to give you more than just one thumbs up.
can't believe.you fixed.that. turned.out awesome
I have to admit the paint turned out much better than I expected it to. What a beautiful result!
Wow 🤩 I thought that casting was ready for the bin before, but after like I said “wow”
I wouldn't have believed even you could have got it looking that good. Great Job Rob.
If I had given you that car to repair, I would not have believed it was the same car! Superb repair.
I really like this video. I love how you took this from a piece of junk to a nice color flip car. Looks really good, you don't need to squint to see that. I would love to see you restore more of these beaten up ones. 👍
Wow! You brought it back to life. I wouldn’t have believed it was the same car if I didn’t watch the video. Beautiful restomod
my cousin had a 260Z. it was black with gold pin stripping, two tone tan interior, and chrome rims with black and gold accents. beautiful car, fun to ride in. he totaled it when he rolled it in a street race.
Brilliant. Full marks for perseverance! I would have had that in the scrapyard diorama!
You really went all out on this 260Z and it shows. You took it from rags and shined it up like a diamond. Great job Rob!
I love how rob says he's going to attempt to fix it but then he totally goes out of the part with it and makes it new! what a pro great work my good sir! hope all is well! hope everyone is safe and healthy over there in the UK!!
Love these hefty restorations that require shaping and fixing the main casting.
Most would have binned it. admire the skill. that really is a restoration
Repairman Rob to the rescue! Incredible.
WOW what a transformation. If I didn't see the repair process I wouldn't believe its the same car.
Looks great I can't believe how it looks now compared to how flat it was! Great job
Quite an amazing rescue of a trashed casting. Fantastic work Rob!
From the thumb nail, I thought no way could this be fixed. Yeah it's not perfect but you did a great job giving it a new life!
Fantastic job straightening out what most would have considered an irretrievable casting!
A true 1980's style Disco mobile !
This wasn't a restoration, it was a showing of your skills. This car was destin for the trash and you and your skills gave it a second chance.
Another great restoration Rob,flip paint and gold wheels,nice looking model.
GREAT SAVE!!!!!! Once again you knocked it outta the park. Excellent job!!!!
Im fortunate enough to have got hold of a much better condition version last year (with a MBx caravan with opening door). So I have yet another metallic magenta car to with my others, including the two new efforts you posted to me this week Rob (thank you BTW)
Glad you received them mate. Sorry for the delay, was trying not to leave the house!
Phoenix Datsun , great job , reborn from the ashes .
Hey, Rob, thank you for showing how you work out bent cars, I have a few that need some attention. Now I have an idea of how to go about it. 👍🏻😎
Great restore,and a nice finish, an idea I use with my vice, fit two pieces of hard wood fitted to the jaws, does not leave a mark. Mick Thailand
I did not think there was any way possible to save this one. Great job! One of my favorites.
Good save. Paint it with the doors on next time👌
An amazing transformation! Well done sir! Just goes to prove that even it a car looks like its fit for the bin, it can be revived!
Wow, when you told me it was damaged I had no Idea ! Nice work mate, very nice indeed.
This was a real resurrection Rob.
Superb restoration. The Datsun looks great with that color flip.
Great video! 👌👍
Great job Rob! You could’ve fooled me I didn’t even need to squint that’s a great color and a super wheel choice. Nice to see the newly painted drawers in the background! I fully predict from the thumbnail that this will be one of your more highly watched videos - deservedly so.
Take care mate
Outstanding job bringing this car back to life!!
Putting yourself to such a test helps develop skills for other projects.
Absolutely LOVE this one!
You did lot of work with that.
Now it looks great, what a lovely colour and wheels match very well with that paintjob, well done😎
😮🤯Wow that's mind Blowing You just didn't restore it you made it Look Brand New Amazing job Rob .on that Datsun 260Z .
Most people would say "No Way Can That Be Fixed" after looking at the car Rob but you performed a miracle. :-)
Nicely done, from trash to treasure.
love those cars and the 240z, nice repair
No question, it was shabby...now its shiny!!! Nice job!
Incredible transformation! You do great work freind!
Another fantastic transformation, Rob. A lot of work and your skills shine through. Love the colour!
"Can it be restored?" - "Gimme 20 minutes." ~Rob
this poor thing has been popped, dropped, chopped, robbed, slammed, and rammed. and now it's hard to see how far bent it actually was; everybody will say that only the roof was pressed in, if ever.
awesome work! (love the wheels, too, btw)
Awesome awesome job my friend
A definite trash to treasure on this one, came out really nice considering what you started with. Nice work as always.
The doors let this down as they highlight the bends and twists left in but hey I won't tell if you don't and to even get it that good is still a job well done.
Amazing Rob and love the paint job👍🏻
Awesome build and paint job 👍👌
I think you did a great job resurrecting that car!
From total shabby to shiny...great job there Rob!
These are the vids i like the most. Love the outcome and the wheels are perfect!!
Every artist is his own worst critic, I think the car looks amazing 👍🏻😎
That is one sweet little car! Hard to believe it was that flatened piece of metal before.
Not bad ..Love Off Purple Metallic color . 😉
One idea...
Matchbox garage junk yard diorama 🤔😁👍
Great video 👌👍😎
A buddy of mine had one of these. It was black with gold trim. I got to drive it in the late 90’s when I was in the service. Pretty fast. Great job sir. Glad to see the stickers are back lol. Now maybe some labels so you don’t forget where you put the stuff now 😂😂😂
Rob strikes again! I reckon you reached that 90% easily.
Looks good!, I love the paint colour.
Amazing job! Looks fantastic.
Awesome paint , color is flipping crazy .
Great work as always.
Certainly more patience than I have doing that metal work repair! I went at a Mercury cougar superfast a while back. I ended up breaking the thing in half trying to fix the a pillar, lol. It's on the back burner now. Really good effort Rob. Looks great.
Looks so good! (And I didn’t even squint!)👍🏼👍🏼
sweet glad you fixed it up and made it better.
Considering you had a tough casting to work with it came out pretty good
outstanding restoration fix..
Excellent job. 👍👍
Wow that Datsun looks awesome
Well done, Rob. The car looks very good compared to what you began with. I guess unless you were absolutely looking, I could not tell any difference on the A-pillars. The color looks fantastic. Great job straightening the roof.
WOW!!What a transformation. Awesome. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Nice work Rob on every car you do it is really amazing to watch
Nice job ,looks great from junk to jewel .
This is another one that deserves to be tagged "resurrection" rather than "restoration". :)
(I'm catching up! Slowly but surely. The first few weeks of the semester are always kind of a blur...)
Wow Rob awesome job what turn around that Datsun 280 Z is one sweet car there , can’t even tell now after all that work and appreciate you taking time showing how to repair the cars, I have learned a lot from you and thank you very much Ron keep the videos coming and I have started fixing cars and customizing them as watching your videos helps out a lot
Nice job. You are quite the body shop man. In the US the 260z was a one year model for 1974. Almost bought a dark green one with brown interior that was sitting in the showroom of the dealer. I was having my 710 serviced and I spent a lot of time mulling it over. Never cared for the 2+2 version as it was awkward appearing compared to the coupe.
This was a tough one. Three hours for bending. But in the end. As always a perfect job. Wow. I like the flipping color. Keep up the good work. Stay safe. Stay healthy. The human malware is still around.
with bad fitting doors like that , i would have sealed them
Great job not many people get it looking like you have
Amazing restoration custom and one of my favorite cars..great job!
Beautiful restoration! Great job
Ohoi there! I like this one. Turned out great. Theese kinda videos is(are?) my favorite. Taking junk ånd make it Nice... one thing å liked with the carcass you begunn with,was the slammed look.
Fantastic turn-around on this one and I love the end result! :)
I give you a lot of credit.... i wouldn't of even tried to fix that....fantastic work....
Love the color wish I could get a setup to get those colors
What a transformation !!!!
I can't believe that's the same car. What a transformation. Looks like a grape lollipop.
Great job
Wow! Impossible save Rob 👍
My father had a 280z 2+2. Was the first car I ever drove sitting on his lap and shifting gears when he pushed the clutch in. Guess that explains my unhealthy obsession with JDM cars.
Fantastic restoration Rob, looked unrepairable, wheels really set it off.
Wow. That one would have gone straight in the spares cars box!
Came out looking good.intetesting color
Amazing mate didn't think it was possible to fix and those wheels are ace
What an amazing difference from beginning to the end! Awesome color! I was actually looking for a similar color for another project so thank you for using that color so I know what paint to buy
