Collectindust240Z Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Hey all. I've been feeling all nostalgic and regretful... Anyone here still own HLS30-17955? I hope it's still alive somewhere. I forgot who bought it. Edited October 19, 2016 by Collectindust240Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rturbo 930 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I swapped in my NA L28 and 5speed, did the R200 diff conversion with a Ron Tyler mount, put my spare dash in, bought a used wiring harness for it, and did actually get it running and driving. However, as I took it apart I also found a good deal of rust, some of which will be very difficult to fix, so it is now sitting in my barn while I figure out what to do with it. Decided to focus on my 280z instead which should be easier to fix. This pic is from a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collectindust240Z Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Man, I miss having a Z. That's too bad about the rust. I never actually had any of the body panels off except for the hood. I'm glad it didn't get sent to the crusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yeah there was a good amount hiding under weatherstripping, inside panel seams, under paint, etc. It's kinda weird in that no one spot is really severe, save for the hatch sill panel, but there's a LOT of small spots, a number of which are in tricky areas. Funny, I actually bought it because it had less rust than the car I had. So much for that. We'll see how I feel about rust repair after I finish my current project.
