HybridZ

I made INCREDIBLE progress today!!!


Recommended Posts

WOW! I did a LOT of work on my Z today (October 2, 2004) getting all the loose ends tied up... there's only a few more things to do before she's totally done! :)

 

I'll take some pics tomorrow (October 3rd) afternoon when the suns out and post the before & after of all the work!

 

Here's what I accomplished in ONE measley day! 8)

 

- 1) Picked up the Z at 9:00 AM from the body shop and drove her home.

 

- 2) Put new oil in, discovered leak, temporarily fixed leak

 

- 3) Ordered new metal header gaskets (to fix my exhaust leak)

 

- 4) Put my new wheels/tires on... I already posted that though! :oops: (they look too good to mention only once, hehe)

 

- 5) Routed the intake so there is now a filter and the hood closes!

 

- 6) Relocated the thottle cable bracket & readjusted the throttle cable

 

- 7) Trimmed my Fuel rail covers and got them on... they look PURTY!

 

- 8 ) Zip-tied all the loose wires and cleaned up the engine bay a little bit

 

- 9) Cleaned up the interior & trunk a BUNCH

 

- 10) Fixed all of my gauges

 

- 11) Found an oily rag in my dash :oops: and cleaned that mess up

 

- 12) cleaned up the garage

 

- 13) Locked the car up at 2:00 AM

 

- 14) Logged into HybridZ :)

 

What an adventurous... exciting... and exhausting day it has been! I will admit that I have NEVER been so productive in my LIFE! :lol: Just shows how much a nice car can motivate ya! Not too much left now... here's what I have to take care of :

 

- Get an inspection sticker (can't driver without it! :roll: )

 

- Run a toggle switch from my electric fan to the interior (for some reason, it doesn't turn off when I turn off the car anymore! :oops: I guess the relay went bad, so the switch will be fine for now.)

 

- Get a new oilpan

 

- Replace my header gaskets

 

- Move my battery (I can't put my T-tops in the trunk! :( )

 

- Build the custom panels for the engine bay

 

Once those 6 things are done... my car will be juuust about ready to go to it's first show!!! :D If I had the resources and kept working like I did today.. all that could be done at the end of tomorrow! :)

 

I'll get y'all some pics soon and hopefully (fingers crossed I'll have a decent camera man) some video! :)
