wickiewicked240z Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have been busy on the car I have installed a new oil pan gasket and a 83zx clutch. Also made a grill for the front since the first one I made looked liked the grills from a bbq. I got some seat harness from Armand $150 good price since I lost one off my original seat belts and needed them so i just upgraded.Here are some pictures...forgot I installed my chrome bumpers front&rear shaved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus_RacerX Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Z's look so good in white. You are my inspiration. What color white did you use? Mine will be BMW Artic White when finished.... that's a long way down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazeum Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Your car looks really nice Are those bumpers the european version? or did you shaved the US version? Do you intent to do a grid as well in between the front bumper and the air dam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmaster Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 wow that is all i can say....that car is brand new. wow I am going to go with a black and blue color theme... when i get ready to ter down my whole car i am going to get all the suspension, and everything else powdercoated just like you did, but it will be blue instead of red. You have given so much more inspiration to me to keep on building my 280z and not to give up at all.... but its all worth it in the long run.

m4xwellmurd3r Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I do have a couple tips Patience is KEY haha. And get used to having an empty bank account, right? Man, I just read this whole thread, and I must say the work you have done is AMAZING. It also makes me really glad to know my Z doesn't need any major body work besides replacing the passenger headlight bucket and pulling 2 dents. A bit of rust, but nothing a bit of elbow grease wont fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
