ZR8ED Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 YeeHaww! It is a great day to be a Zed owner!! The wiring is DONE! everything works.. all the lights, signals, wipers, washer, horn, starter, guages...(except the fuel..maybe cause it is almost empty) Whew! what a relief. The GM alternator is even wired corrrectly and working... I fired it up to day (36F outside) it started right up...idles a bit low (2-300rpm... cause I don't have the chokes hooked up yet. But it does run smooth... Man I love the sound of a sweet cammed L6!!! Even better with only a header! hehehe I have a long list of details to take care of, like put the interior back in. I picked up a beautiful set of seats (used stock seats that were modified with extra bolstering etc...) I hope to get them put in tommorow, and take it for an inagural "boot" up and down the street. If it goes well, then I'm off to the ministry to get a temp sticker and take it to parents to store in their garage. That way I can do some tinkering on it during the winter.. I'm VERY happy now!... just in time for Christmas!!... to bad it won't fit under the tree!!... I feel like a kid who gets a new toy for christmas and doesn't want to let go of it and drags it off and puts it on the bed/under the pillow just to keep it close... ummm I'm sick...did I just say that out loud?

ZR8ED Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Bah winter! Why does it always get cold as I get the bug to work on the Z? I have hardly touched it the last 2 weeks, and suddenly I've spent my mornings before heading off to work crawling around under the dash? Today with a couple of inches of snow that fell last night, I'm out in the garage with my buddy hooking up the steering column, and reinstalling the heater control panel and the air ducting.... Oh and I lent my 40000btu kerosene heater out and do not have it at present... The roads were not condusive to a test drive so that was a no go... But as one door closes, a window opens up somewhere else..hehe I just got my hands on some 3" and 2" mandrel bent 316L SS piping!.. for the price of "zero" The two inch pipes are for a buddies i/c pipe routing, and the 3" 90's are for my exhaust! yea baby.. this makes up for not driving the 240 today! Collecting parts for spring is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay1970Z Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Damn thats a low VIN, very cool. I'm less than 500 posts away from my build # and I'm pretty sure I'll hit that number long before my Z is done . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruxGNZ Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 ZR8ED, I gotta tell you, I have been following your posts on the early production Z since you posted about it. Even though I say cut it up and forget about it, I give you tons of credit, sort of (note:comma was right after credit) restoring this Z to original working order. Keep going... we're waiting for results, even though some of us don't post about it (there is others ). !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
