so its getting hot here now... 100 degrees before noon so work is slowing down. but i got alot done today. -tracked down a better sound proofing tape. -ripped out old weather strip -painted door jambs -removed hatch -prepped hatch for paint -repurchased old carpet padding -plugged hole in passenger side floor pan -bought new wipers i take alot of pictures because i enjoy seeing progress. hope you guys like them and feel free to drop me a line. new bolts have a little bit of play cracked and you can see some water in the car water getting over the seal i need to find out where to get this replaced too its way worse in person good prep work pretty nice having matching door jambs this is the what i was supposed to get from the start there it is this will make things easier plugged with silicon and the cap from home depot no hatch and everything cleaned out im impressed anyone know where i can get this stripping?

all right so went and returned the old thick padding but the thinner material cost almost twice as much because you have to buy in large quantities... now im stuck in a rut. =|

lol sorry bout the fram, didnt realize it and only bought it because it was cheap and i simply need to put something in after seafoaming the car and then im going to redo everything again to insure the engine is clean of freed up carbon. i am actually going to return the thicker padding and go for a thinner and cheaper material so my carpet doesnt bulge extremely and so i can install it with better contact to the foil tape.

all right did ALOT of shopping today. but i also managed to tap and die the holes on my intake mani where the balance tube bolts in because i stripped them a while back. Junkyard - Weatherstripping from a Kia Sportage for the doors - Hatch seal from an early RX7 FC for the hatch - Windshield wiper motor from an early honda accord Home Depot - Great stuff for wide gaps - 4 bolts for the balance tube - 2 hole plugs for the passenger side holes - 2 rolls of foil tape for soundproofing Lowes - 1 roll or 6' x 9' carpet padding for sound proofing - roll of blue painters tape - roll of plastic sheeting to go along with the tape for painting the door jambs carpet padding in the back and most other items adhesive and spray foam bolts, caps, oil filter, blue tape, and plastic film foil tape honda motor was smaller than i thought it would be all weatherstrip in a pile tapped and died the holes for the balance tubes cut off old header flanges pretty beat up, going to paint it msa pipe was smaller than my header pipe needs to get expanded door jamb ready for paint

great build, i cant wait to see where its going to go from here.

i am going to stop posting in the projects section and post here.

as for the work i did this week it hasnt been much because i had my graduation ceremony. but i prepped my door jambs for paint, painted the underside of my hood, cleaned the door strikers, reclaimed the identification badge in the driver side door jamb, got the y pipe from msa, and cut off the told flanges on my headers. here are some of the pics, ill take more when i find the time

all right, sorry i havent posted much in the past week or so... ive been really busy and i graduated from high school, but neways, i have managed to get the y collector from MSA, great stuff foam sealer for my dash repair, 3m spray adhesive for my carpet kit, and a new oil filter for when i seafoam the car.

oh gosh, for the price the quality is great its soft yet durable and it doesnt seem to rip very easily... all youve got to do is cut it to the desired specifications (make sure u have some sharp scissors or itll take a while). and glue it down with some spray adhesive. i did my car with 2 rolls and i think i still have the measurements i took for the front of the car if you need them. roughly $18 in carpet and $15 on glue (3m isnt cheap) ... maybe around 3 hours of work if youre determined. tomorrow im going to the JY to try and pick up some weatherstripping and the 94' honda window motor. at autozone im going to get $20 worth of parts (so i can u my rewards card) i need to buy - Oil - Spark Plugs - plug wires - windshield wipers - Rain X - silicon glue - valve cover gasket hopefully i can get stuff done now that i graduated

it looks like one of those really expensive office chairs...

lol cloverfield status . sounds very quick.

all right, im impressed, great modification, i hope more people check this thread out because there is an unbelievable amount of good information.

awesome sounds great

now that is an impressive transformation

all right... FINE... here are some teaser shots...

as promised.... pictures of the work i did yesterday... sadly i got absolutely nothing done today on my car. =| pictures were taken with my new nikon D90 , SO I TOOK SOME RANDOM ONES. headers after paint what was padding the seat b4 my replacement plan on attacking this area soon under carpet... major rust area and the silver strip was kind of a test section for the sound deadening i plan on using i must say... it looks pretty good... it WILL look better glued in fooling around shot pur-dee badge water spots from my sprinklers... damn hard water

oh do u just undo the nuts???

thats ALOT of bondo... well i guess it just means u get to do it right !!! yea, there isnt really any traffic on this part of the forums, but hopefully we can change that.

impressive door and window mods. i think i'll end up doing that with mine, but try to find a way to keep the window roller. it gets hot here.

i guess that explains why there is so little viewers, but i hope this can get some people in that area because there are alot of guys down there who put alot of effort into documenting their builds but they arent get any lovin, if you get what im saying.

hey guys. this is the link to my 1974 260z thread. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/92241-thought-i-would-start-one-for-my-early-260z/ i hate double posts but i put my project in the designated location on the forums but i just havent been getting traffic and i would like to hear your guys's opinions. thanks

all right... todays list of finished items. - high heat paint on headers. - started and finished passenger side carpet. - cleaned floor pans with wire wheel, vacuum, then painted with rustoleum flat black. - tore out brown padding from under seats cuz they were making a ridiculous mess and made replacement padding as a substitute. - went to walmart, bought seafoam for later sorry no pics. maybe tomorrow ill post pics of the finished products.

wow, thanks i guess ill try it out soon i wonder if it works.... yea its auto and i hate it... the gearing is soooo bad.

so i decided to go back out and do some work but i wasnt quite sure of what i wanted to get done, but i ended up making the driver side carpet kit. carpet material came from walmart and its 3x6 for $8 Vacuumed it all out and took measurements with the old tape measure found this weird switch on my gas pedal... any ideas??? big piece of material and some surgical scissors for easier cutting middle section DONE front section done and i made it work with the stock tabs i have to alter the last section because i cut it an inch too short. =(

more random pics from the day... starting from left to right anyone know a way i can clean em without ripping the motor to pieces??? will seafoam work (mixed reviews... im kinda skeptical) deep window scratch hopefully i can find some way to get rid of it wiring is a mess thought about ripping this cloth crap out and replacing it with header wrap... good or bad idea? intake and carbs sitting in the hatch new FPR from summit racing. need to research what the setting should be
