Onion Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) All done with the faulty connector! That was pretty tedious having my head in the footwell with a back injury. But hey, it was fun as well. I'll upload a picture in a bit. Edit: Here's the photo. the bright white connector is the one I rebuilt.

Onion Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Installed the second harness. Moved the no-brand harness to the passenger seat just for the sake of having matching harnesses. I never take passengers in the Z. The new Schroth harness is now on the driver's seat. I'm gonna get crap for this, but yes, they are mounted to the strut towers until I purchase the MSA roll bar and harness bar, or get a cage built. I don't drive the car at the moment, so its not a big deal. I just wanted the harnesses in place. Yes, my weatherstripping is falling to pieces. I need to glue it back on. Also, I replaced the inner shift boot, which was all damaged and cracked. I also noticed the mounting plate was rusty and the paint was damaged so I sanded the rust off and painted it. Here's how it was before. Sanded it and washed the gunk off of both sides. New boot goes in. Plate gets a couple coats of paint, front and back. And then everything goes back in its place.

Onion Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Repainted the taillight surrounds and added a lightly tinted license plate cover. Looks much cleaner and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone028 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hey onion, are those fiberglass front bumpers? Did you put them on or did you receive the car that way? If they are fiberglass and you purchased them...how was the fit/finish as received? I've been thinking about fiberglass or carbon fiber bumpers, but worry about the quality and warpage.

Onion Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think they are fiberglass, but I'm not sure. I bought the car and it already had the body kit and the bumpers. Sorry I couldn't be much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Throttle cable blew out today. Pushed the car to a parking lot, had it towed home, and bought a new cable. I'll fix it when I get back from vacation. See you guys next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Got home today. Fixed the throttle cable, changed the oil and filter, and changed the coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
