Med Center Z Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 She's been sleeping in a family Barn down here in Texas since 1988. Tonight ill be driving down with my flat bed an Truck (Ford F150 ECO Boost) an bring her home to start the restore over the summer. 95% rust free car. I rebuilt the Hitachi type HJG 46W's about 7 months ago, dropped and drained the gas tank an fuel system. She turned over on the secound try, idoled an ran smother then I expected, a/c (needes R112 charge) an radio both are working. This will be my 4th Z car rebuild an will be my best yet. Will post pictures by Tuesday. Green paint/tan & black interior. (Will be covered to all black) Stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
