Tim240z Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I have pulled both vehicles out of the garage (Z and GT) and pulled everything off the open stud walls (nails, shelves etc etc). I will be drywalling it and organizing everything with hanging tray/bins and peg board etc. anyways, I have a bunch of stuff which I will be taking to the scrap yard next weekend....unless someone wants to come by and grab it. I have: L24 240Z driveshaft and 2 sideshafts R180 Mustache bar various interior panels 240Z gauges and misc. interior trim pieces All the other pieces that came OEM that I didn't use due to customizing I don't want to ship, so come one, come all and git it...

Tim240z Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Getting it out was one thing....I was scratching my head as to how I got all that crap in there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well....after an afternoon's work, I got two new 110V outlet boxes run, and 1 1/4 wall's worth of 1/2" drywall up. Man that drywall gets heavy after a while when lifting and moving it around by myself!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here comes trouble Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Tim ...you must tear into projects with power of a Louisiana hurricane ! Pretty fast solo drywall job for an afternoon. Hope one of the kids, tools, or -parts did get sheathed in also that afternoon. During a garage drywall job, I nailed a copper water pipe directly in a corner stud wall....Got it repalced but too damp to hold solder ...used a wad of bread dough to sop up the inside pipe water dampness where the hot vapor would not blow out the cooling solder in the joint.

CruxGNZ Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Man that drywall gets heavy after a while when lifting and moving it around by myself!!! Wuss! Try installing 5/8" 4X14' drywall by yourself... on metal studs nonetheless! You guys think you have it hard... Hahaha !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5foot2 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 The hardest job I ever had in my youth was delivering sheet rock. We had a boom truck, but more than half the work was by hand, and there were a lot of stairs (big apartment boom in the area at the time). I made it about 2 weeks before fate smiled on me and I found something better. Good thing too, cause my hands were like hamburger and I had trouble standing up straight.

VRJoe Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hey Tim, looks great. Sooner or later I've got to fix mine up too. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Tim - Great work buddy, will you do the floor as well, I am contemplating using that oil based paint on the concrete, about $100 from Home Depot to do an entire double garage? Ebay that stuff better than throwing it away. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Don't use anything from the home stores...it is junk. The problem with all epoxy floor coatings is that the prep work has to be very extensive (sanding and acid etching the floor, then cleaning and then several coats in the correct temp and humidity). Also, it does not stand up to steel fabrication work (welding and grinding) and jack stands etc. So, I will likely leave it alone. AGAIN....stay away from the Home Depot stuff.

Okimoto Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Wow, that's a project! Did you put anything in the walls for future generations to find? Like old beer bottles and candy wrappers? Maybe a picture of your Z? How about VCT? That stands up to a good amount of wear and tear. Or quarry tile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 VCT won't stand up to heavy mechanical use (IE Jack Stands, dropping sharp stuff, welding slag etc). I have been looking into floor coverings for several months and nothing will stand up to what I need it to. Even those modular flooring systems ($$$$$$) won't do it....nothing will, so I will leave the floor bare concrete..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 you still have that red motor Tim (to the right of the Opel)? If so, please refresh my memory how much you were asking for it? Flash posted some pics of the two Z's (the drivetrainless Scarab conversion, all mounts present and ready for Chebby motor, or the G-nose, fenderflared one), still considering trading for my turbo, and then of course would need a motor to drop in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 $1.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 ouch... okay why so much? Honestly I don't remember anything about that motor other than it was painted red and that you've had it in your garage for ages. Is 1.5k just the motor or is there a trans too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Motor and trans (TH350). Because the motor has very few miles on it since I did a complete rebuild on it (<5k). Everything is basically new (heads, valves, pistons, distributor, waterpump, bearings, intake etc etc etc). It is not worth it for me to take less....I would rather just keep it and find a car to put it in...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 ah... no for being rebuilt and with trans then that's definately a reasonable price. Another thing I can't for the life of me remember, that IS a carb'd 350 right? Isn't that the motor that was originally in the truck?
