wickiewicked240z Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) I finally manage to get old pics from my old computer. This is the work I done for the past 6 yrs. I bought the car from an old lady in Costa Mesa,CA for $900 it was painted white. I believe she was the second owner if I remember correctly 1971 Datsun 240z Edited July 24, 2012 by wickiewicked240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickiewicked240z Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I installed fiberglas ZG flares, I also did the 5x114 to 5x4.75 upgrade by drilling new holes on the stub axles and using billet adapter to get the 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Using Enkei 92's 16x 8 with a 5x4.75 bold pattern i think they are -10 or -20 offset I forgot but they have a nice lip which is awesome.

wickiewicked240z Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I bought some z32 seats I got them cause they are way more comfortable than the originals plus I like the way they hug you. I had to make brackets to bolt them up to the floor cause If I would of use the stock ones it would have been to high plus I wanted full function of the power seat mechanism. The last 4 pics the seats are bolted to the brackets in their final position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickiewicked240z Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Here's a few goodies. I had the front and rear bumper rechromed straighten and all the rubber taken off and holes welded for a clean look. $250 for each bumper I also had some stuff plated or anodized don't know the correct term. Had the suspension sandblasted and powder coated cause I wanted to last for awhile and don't want rust plus it stand out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted under the car with black undercoating to protect it from rust this includes the fenders and everything I think water is gonna be touching.
