Back wrenching..but wrong Z.

[ZR8ED]

Well I seem to be back to my old ways.. wrenching on my Z. We are having some "inventory adjustments" going on where I work, and I have this week off. I've been wrenching on the ole Z on and off through the week.

 

Feels pretty good to work on my cars again. Even though I don't have my own garage. I have my parents 2 car garage with all my air and power tools, jacks, ramps, welder, and my newest toy...An electric metal sheer. It looks like a corded drill, except it has scissors for cutting sheet metal.. IAM IN HEAVEN!! These things work great. I'm doing stuff that I used to have to pay my mechanic to build for me. Sheet metal/ aluminum sheilds, covers etc..

 

Ive been doing some minor sheet metal work under the car, painting, building nice covers in the engine bay, cleaning/painting the engine bay, electrical wiring cleanup, compounded and waxed the body, polished the ss muffler and tip etc etc.. I've been having fun, even more fun now that it isn't 35 degrees celsious (90 degrees F ++)

 

Only one problem.. I'm not working on my black 280. I'm working on my Blue 280zx. I'm trying to sell it, and I want it to look as good as it runs so it sells quickly. No serious takers so far.

 

Well at least I'm working on "A" Z.

 

Its amazing how good you can feel when working on a Z, and fixing something yourself. I'll work on the black Z on the weekend instead.

 

I wake up every morning with my GF, she goes to work @7, I go for a bike ride or rollerblade, then hit the local parts store and go over to the garage, crank on some tunes and work the afternoon away in peace on my own.."ZEN" like.. hehehe. Then it off in the evening for a cruise to the local car hangouts..

 

If this is what retirement is like, I can't wait to sign up in 20years...

 

Enjoy your Z's, work on them, drive them, and if you drive them too hard, work on them some more..
