Tad240 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Finally, after 30 years of storage, my high school / college Z car is back out of the shed. Stored away at my parents home just after graduation in 1988 and there it has stayed until just a couple of months ago. Career, then marriage, kids... all the “other” priorities just kept coming. Purchased in 1979 when I was only 15 (I’ll be 54 in just a few weeks) so this is long overdue. General plan is to clean and repair to make this an enjoyable driver. Mild, period correct upgrades are planned. Solid car. No significant damage or rust. Plenty of mildew! I’ll be documenting here as the project progresses. Please lend your advice, guidance and support. All comments are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad240 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Note the 1989 inspection due date sticker on the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad240 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Flatspot! Bridgestone 70’s are pretty stiff after 30 years. 32/36 Weber’s. Will be transitioning to NOS Mikuni 44’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad240 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Original spare? Pirelli CN36. Spare tire well looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad240 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 High school stereo system - roof mounted Panasonic Cockpit RM610. Amazing and rare for its time. Still pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 What a great project. I am sure that at times it was difficult to keep. I am glad you did. That stereo is way cool in a retro way. I have never seen one like it. Might want to download this PDF http://www.oldsmobility.com/board/RM610.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Looks like a nice solid car! I like that barn too. Since it sounds like you won't be doing much with regards to modifications, check out classiczcars.com, since that site is more restoration oriented.

bradyzq Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Now THAT is a flat spot! Getting that stereo to work, if it doesn't now, would be awesome. Good luck with the resurrection. Mine's been in storage for only about 15 years, so you give me hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
