fallenone121 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 The present plan for the Z -If I dont waste money unnecessarily on things that are pointless or wasteful...then I should be able to save each year towards parts.2013 from September to December: 97202014 from January to December: 287602015 from January to December: 29560Which comes to a total of 68040The total spending expectation (Estimated) of the Z is 65747.14So...the Z will be done by end of year 2015 with about a 3000$ leverage...which will likely be more labor.Another item of note is that by end of year 2015 is that the Subaru will be paid off.So by the end of 2015 I will have the Subaru paid off AND have the Z completely done.Which lead me to looking at what is forthcoming or needs to be gathered...850$ for Frame Stiffening & Reinforcement1600$ for roll bar250$ for Strut Tower Brace (Front)???$ for the rust hole repairsAll of which need to be welded onto the car or have brackets placed to be welded before the car is acid washed...Then (high estimates):4500$ for Body Cleaning (Acid & Alcalyne Dip)650$ Frame Cleaning250$ Doors Cleaning40$ Bezels Cleaning140$ Hood CleaningThose treatments for the metal will clean out all of the rust and include a 30 day inhibitor for me to get it primed or ecoated in the time to follow...

fallenone121 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sorry about the delay on updates...I was waiting on parts that I ordered in July that still havent arrived...July parts purchasesTomei Top Rail Fuel PipeTomei Strengthened Timing BeltTomei Adjustable Cam GearsNismo N1 Water PumpATI Performance Super DamperGreddy Pulley KitKoyo Two Core Radiator R022352McKinney Rear Sump Oil 7 qtMcKinney Throttlecable & BracketCarbon Fiber Hood PinsTomei parts, the ATI damper, and the Hood Pins arrived within three weeks...McKinney informed me a month after the order was placed that they were only just then starting to manufacture the products we ordered and they have a 2 week construction period. That was a month ago almost -- I can honestly say I am highly disappointed with that. I could have gone with another company for the oil pan for like 200$ cheaper but went with McKinney because I heard they were the shit.

fallenone121 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Working at trying to get a solid lead on someone competent to build the engine since the only part I am missing for assembly now is the N1 Block.Switzer Performance - Has not returned calls or emails since March.SP Engineering - Does not return calls, faxes or emails for three weeks.Ed Pink Racing in California responded to tell me their rates and let me know that they could do it - for 100$ an hour until its done.TPG Tuning said they could build it when I asked in May but hasnt responded since.Shops here in Michigan are incompetent when it comes to imports.

fallenone121 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Stripdown has been proceeding slowly - much more slowly than I would have otherwise hoped as during the teardown process it was realized that the fenders were rusted nicely and the floors were rusted out with the previous owner having used window screen and ample fiberglass patching to seal up holes in the car that I wouldnt have found if I didnt want to tear it down to make sure everything was structurally sound... And now...for update pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
