  1. I make under 30K i think around $25,000. The thing that helps me alot is that i still live with my parents which i pay $500 in rent month. An my I work for my dad upholstery business. I get my check and some extra money on the side so i won't pay t@x3s or go over my t@x bracket. Also we just started this business about 3 years ago. Most of the stuff we upholster is for rich people with money to spend. The taxes my dad pays is crazy. Its a big suprise when you have to pay taxes for the stuff you sell, pay taxes for the employees and pay workers comp. Most of the money i make goes to the 240z car cant wait to finish this project.
  2. I took some body parts from my dads 64 Ford galaxie to get media blast on monday. I just got them back today i took 2 door a hood,trunk and 2 fenders all for $180. They did great job on getting the rust out, but left some of the body filler which wasn't much. I believe some of you on this board maybe familiar with this company CRYSTAL SANDBLASTING in Upland, California. Just wanted to pass the word around, for people that are looking for blasters in the sounthern california area.
  3. The rust bullet works great. I would suggest that if you put some in the engine bay that you use a spray gun instead of a brush since yuo can see the brush strokes. Also were a mask with the carbon filters lots of fumes from the paint. Wear some gloves if you get the paint in your skin and it dries your going to be wearing that paint for a week not even scrubbing works. Im going to be using it again on my dads 1964 Ford galaxie restoration

  7. Baja California...there is a nice toll road from tijuana to ensenada which i take to visit my grandparents. Its a good road lots of curbs and straits and a nice view of the pacific ocean. I cant wait to take my 240z down there. there a regular road which is no good since dirt and its a 2 lane road one going and one coming.
  8. I finished my brake upgrade used the 15/16 master cylinder and the 280z 8 1/2 inch diameter brake booster. Im going to check out how the braking power.I tried it on jack stands it stop pretty quick but the streets are another thing. here are some pictures of the stuff.. The booster bolt pattern is different than the original 71 240z booster which is really small, so you have to drill new holes. Its pretty easy to do and it just fits perfectly.

  20. I'm going to be installing the 240sx e-brake handle, cables and calipers in the next couple of days. Lots of cutting fabricating and welding. Also i will be installing Ross rear calipers brackets. which i just order. I decided to go with the 240sx e-brake system its more modern i guess and to be different.
