theres a bunch of pictures i took tonite of my progress recently on my Z.

if the link doesnt work for some reason just post and ill see if i can fix it.

 

pics 1 and 2 is the standoff i made on the driverside for the main hoop of my 8 point roll bar :) only took 2 hours total and its near perfect. (i had to remove a layer of por 15 and layer of herculiner just to get to the sheet metal which also had seam sealer underneath it all hahah

 

pic 3 is my custom strut tower brace... no its not removable heheheh yes it is over kill and i love it cuz i can wheel my engine hoist under the car and use it to lift the car really high up in the air hehehe who needs a lift? not me [angel]

 

pic 4 is the only space i have beside 12 inches behind the car to get from one side of the garage to the other because of all the new equipment i just got hehe NEEED MORE SPACE....

 

pics 5 and 6 are my custom firewall and transmission tunnel modifications so that i can move my engine and transmission an inch and a half further back in my driveline. the engine will then be completely behing the centerlin of the front wheels WOOOOOO heheh (it already handled awesome before)

 

pic 7 is my naughty motor. it went and got all dirty before coming home so i stuck it in the corner hehe

 

pic 8 is everything (minus motor and fuel filter) that my Z needs to run and i mean everything ! and it all fits on one little sled

 

pic 9 is my milling machine again and my overflowing tool box lol. to think 3 years ago all of this was an empty space.. i had no tools and no experience.

 

and lastly pic 10 is the motor i cooked cajun style and my mig welder :)

 

hope ya didnt get too bored :) -pete

Looks good Peej400. So you must have the coolest parents I have ever heard of. You still in Glastonbury with the folks right? I was back east in August and was hoping your car was on the road so I might bump into it. Can't wait to move back and see it all finished up. Good work on everything.

yeap im still living at home. dont really have a choice as i picked working on my car over having a job for the next month or so hehe. i actually had it on the road for two months in the late winter early spring right after the snows... but i blew the rear end and the motor that i got tore itself apart. i still havent found the cause of the latter. so im building a new motor starting this week and hopefully it wont take too long. then ill get to drive it again this fall :D
