  1. As we step into the minutes were after many members will mope around as if the world ended i bid farewell to all and with these few hours of down time go out and get that z one step closer to being on the road. I myself will finish my rear disc and 5 lug swap.

     

    Also what is the new sites addy, and the iphone skin thing if its a one time fee of 10$ i will give that plus donate 10$.

  2. Got a qutoe at the first frame shop and they were 75$ an hour. Hour and half setting the car up then an approx 6 hours cutting out the box make everything straight re weld the box and do the alignment. So im looking at 7.5hrs * 75$ = 562.50. Seem reasonable? They also said if i have the motor out it can cut the price down a bit as it would give better acces to it and what mot.

  3. No bending at the strut tower. Just that box torn at the weld and the frame has a little warpage. Im towing it back to oakland and going to call a few shops in the bay area and check out the shops. I want it done right so i dont have any problems later down the road. Before i take it to the shop i think it would be a good time to completely strip the car and pre it for paint and other suspension + brake work.

  4. Further investigation with the wheel off and really looking the frame is bent but still is straight.:o

     

    Went to pick n pull to get a trans for my 7mgte swap also got headers and a oil pan. All was going good until i was coming off the freeway making a right hand turn. Lights was green, so trusting my half bald tires and welded diff. I try and swiftly make the turn but NO. The 7m trans im carrying in the back along with my passenger and misc of parts and things everything shifted to my side and kicked the rear end out i tried to fight it but it was to far gone came back around went straight to the curb correct and smacked the front passenger side into it then the back said i want some too and it took a hit. So now im F'd in stockton with no way to work. And no Z! :cry:

  5. Today it happened. The one thing i thought would never happened. I (multiple swear words) smacked a curb with brute force. My swats are bent to hell and i almost cried when i looked at them. Also my, well idk what it is called but here is a pic its on the frame rail. That tore off from the frame and is now bent to hell as well. along with other things i have not seen yet. "Frame is not bent thank god"

    Dont know if im allowed to use the pic but it the best i can find to point it out. Also is this a simple fix or am i going to have to hand over a few fingers and leg to a chassis repair shop. I have not the knowledge or know how to fix this. Actual pics once it stops raining, and the story.
