    Over the weekend I got the engine bay finished up cleaned and painted the valve covers and pulled the exhaust manifolds and painted them. Along with getting the car all cleaned up for IFO Tulsa. The only draw back of the weekend is IFO got canceled due to weather . But since i had spent a few hours cleaning the car for the event i took some more pics. I am finally ok with popping my hood now. I also got some good interior shots along with a good shot of the rear strut tower brace I made and the drivers seat is faded but fits me perfect got to love old school Recaro . Now its time to save for wheels tires and bigger brakes.

    I finally got a real camera (non phone) and we were going to have IFO on Sunday so I got the Z all clean and snapped some new shots. Sadly IFO was cancelled due to weather.

    Ok I got some work done last night and so far so good.I started buy removing the A/C that has not worked in along time along with all brackets and the condenser and all piping vac bottle and vac solenoids.Then striped the harness of all the old heat shielding it had and e-tape. I picked up some of the high temp resistant e-tape we use at my job along with some DEI goodies the aluminium heat reflect tape along with the slip through heat sleeve. After e-taping every thing in the bay along with re routing some wires I set off to heat shield the harness were it passes by the rams horn manifold. I layed 3 layers of the reflect tape then cut and wrapped the sleeve around it then wrapped that in the reflect tape. Came out looking much better along with painting my brake booster it is looking much better but will be getting some more love soon if the weather lets me. old heat shield and exposed wires striped and e_taped striped and e_taped drivers side minus a/c with cleaned up wires no more vac bottle and solenoids new heat shielding on new heat shielding on nice gap that was not there to start rusty booster wet paint evolution of my bay and engine in the beginning just got it to OK new rad and air filter some changes be still cluttered as it is now much better still more change to come phone pics sorry

    One thing she learned very quick is that good parts are not cheap and cheap parts are not good ..... and that's why is buy second hand good parts.

    My new favorite pics of my car. I can not stop looking at it, that is how you know you have the right car you can not stop staring at it.

    Well I did what PLATA suggested and .... I love the way it came out thanks for the ideas. Domzs I plan on a new motor in the hopefully near future and the whole new exhaust will come with that stage for now I am in the save money for more parts stage. but I totally agree with you on muffler location after a bumper delete.

    Here is my 75 with a SBC back on the road after a full suspension refresh. I need to trim the exhaust and would love some input on what might be a good idea on how to finish them out after the trim.

    Got some good pics of the Z this weekend after spending some time rubbing compounding and waxing it. Also made it out to a small local car show with one of the guys from OKZCC with his killer 350Z. and I found out I really need to roll my rear fenders I am killing my tires. like the way this one edited up

    Got the timing set right wow dose that make a huge difference. Not saying its fast but it sure is quick. First vid is 0-90 according to my gps.
  23. hwvigo
    I wish you all the luck in the world on your build. Will be fun to see were it goes by the looks of it the only way it can go is up. But take your time and do not rush is the best advice I can give and is the best I have been given. ^ Keith Is correct though on rust I love the way he put that.

    Well I half to say all the hard work and hours of prep and paint and putting on and taking back off and head aches and frustration were all worth it ever single second. There is no felling like climbing in you Z after 10 months down and driving it. now I just need to get the timing set right (( found my distributor was lose and after hard acceleration would did and not want to restart )) and she is good for a bit of summer fun. And I love the way it sits not low but not to low. Also did some work on my radiator over flow set up did not like the way it was run and my cheap over flow can needed some modding so it would not hold pressure and vacuum and cause my lower radiator hose to collapse. I missed this car! almost to low to reach the keypad to get in my apartment complex. before and after of over flow setup.
