Tony D Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice...I can relate to the "project on hold for a while" thing right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yes, I was waiting for 8 month or so for the body to be ready. All the restored parts are waiting... I even found the Synchron rings for the FS5C71A in Australia. All Drivetrain parts powdercoated and waiting to putt on. The paint is a No 1 Job I have to say. Zero Orange peel. Some pics before I went to Canada for the Holidays. 1-5 is at the pickup and 6-11 is my place all painted. Inside and underneat as well in body color. Happy me as soon I come back i have to find a way to heat my place to start the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKLR Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Great color, I love it. It's only going to look better as you add parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Yes, It has been a long time. Actually I don't need too much anymore. I already bought every gasket, bearing (and installed them of course) and screw new. (exept the screws for the underbody. I will buy them as I need them and new Brake and fuel lines should arrive the next few days while I`m on holidays.) The whole interior is already repaired and all pannels covered in black leather. Now I "just" need to assemble everything. Edited December 27, 2014 by munters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a long time to find this one within all the blues between 1970 and 1973 to keep it Vintage. I also look foreward to see it getting better with every bit installed.

munters Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Finally I could start with the assembly/Panless(Full) cabling. First was the realocating of the Fusebox and build a box around the fusebox to protect it from feets under the dash. Take bundles apart to rebundle them for the Z. change it for Europe usage and not US. like flasher/brake seperated and no park lights. next step is to build a cover to protect the cables at the exit of the box. I ordered also a lot of parts from nix240 to install new Brake and fuel lines (4.75mm Brake, 8mm Fuel feed and 6mm Fuel back) Hope to be able to work sometimes from now on, but at the moment I get just 46° max in my place...

munters Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hm I dont know, why the pics are rotated 90 degrees... The relay is towards the bottom and the box will be next to the heating blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Time passes so quick and Im not a good writer so I guess I just add some Pics. The cable installation is not Painless at all. Build a tool to straighten the brake lines Then the dampening everywhere Rebuild the diff Rebuild the transmission Installed the leather interieur and dash Take some time off Installed the rear end Installed the engine and front axle at the same tine (sorry blurry pics) You can see the yellow battery it's a LiFeYPO4 battery (Lithium Ferrum Yttrium Phosphate) I love it. Extremly powerfull. Take some time off again At the moment I am at the Carb tuning stage. a lot to read and learn because the last time I tuned the carbs is 29 years ago with this car (don't remember that much). End of installation pics will fellow. Edited March 23, 2016 by munters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Beautiful build and attention to detail. You got this far so tuning the carbs should be bad. Didn't read the whole thread but hopefully you have a wideband to help you tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 At the moment im still at the beginning of tuning. Float level, idle jet main jet. When this is more or less ok i will buy the Hypojets and use a wideband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeko Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Great attention to detail. Car looks great! You aren't going to undercoat the underbody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 There is a transparent protection undercoat in the wheel wells. The rest will stay the way it is and I will inspect it on a yearly base to repair any "chipoffs". There is epoxy Primer everywhere (inside, outside, underbody) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
