I've had this '78 since early 06 and bought it with an rb25 swap already in it and running. but it did need quite a bit of work here and there. Mainly electrical work . Since then it has gone through a few changes and ups and downs but i've kept it since i'm very attached. Two years ago aprox. i broke the rb20 trans that was in the car and bought an rb25 trans , then just recently due to a whole mess of work/home/financial issues i decided to jump back on it.
I recently bought a mckinney driveshaft,corbeau seat and bracket, and i'm making this thread to show the re-making of a car i love , even if it is rusty and crusty.On to some pix:
The motor shortly after i bought the car
What the car looked like before i bought it and before 3 major hurricanes hit back in 05(try to remember)
When i bought the car i traded the stock wheels and panasports for an ae86 corolla gts and bought epsilons for the Z
After i got man sized tires and lowered the car i discovered a lot of bondo and shotty bodywork and like any self respecting person woulkd do , i went crazy
Then got more creative:
By this point i had gotten a bigger intercooler fixed electrical gremlins, and lightened the car quite a bit...and did some cleanup here and there:
Fast forward to now:
