R_3 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 but found out it had been in a rear end collision where they cut the car in half and welded in a rear from a 260z....no good. Scrapped.So I picked this shell up: 1995 firebird formula's heart. A 5.7L LT1 V8 mated to a T56 6 speed transmission: P2 next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_3 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Met some euro friends Just picked these up for a winter project Ordered 2.5" and 3" lips for the wheels, and zg fender flares. lots to do this winter When the wheels are done: I am on the fence keeping the centers gold. It might look great with the green. I might plastidip the centers to try it black or gunmetal and if I dont like it, just peel it off. Thats it for now! I will update as I get things done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R_3 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Drove it around a little after a local fellow z guy came over and helped me bleed the brakes and install the bigger master cylinder. It absolutely rubs in the back around turns, bumps, acceleration. Fender flares will be in soon. I ordered from: jpngarage.com I plan on doing a full write up on the quality, fitment and installation to help hopefully find a solid provider of these flares. It seems that shops are hit or miss when it comes to the quality and fitment. I can tell you that their initial communication has been very good. A beautiful day turned sour within minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
