Thought i'd give an update on what I've been up do for the past 5-6 months, progress of the car, and what's to come...

 

I have been having a hard time keeping up w/ the pace of the site since the huge jump in activity the past 6 months or so!!! The project I have been working on at work has changed paces after the 4th of July (our cutover to the software we are instaling) and I started traveling to the Opperations Locations here in the US and Canada. Been doing that pretty much week to week here and there not been home too much to work on the house or the Z. I'm home now till the first of the year and I'm hoping to finish up some stuff on the house and Z. So I want to get as much done now, as I can, because after first of the year I will be in Dubai / Aberdeen for the next 6-8 months 3 weeks out of every month. Hopefully the week that I am home each month, i'll be able to focus on the car some :)

 

Status on the Z hasn't changed too much other than tinkering here and there since I installed the motor and trans in late June... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=112291 I did get the wiring cleand up and loomed, mostly. Alt mount finished up and installed, radiator, upper/lower hoses and a couple of other easy things.

 

So now I have 98 percent of the parts to complete, just need to finish installing or hooking them up. Basically I have some loose wire ends, bolt up the exhaust, add the carb and tie in fuel plumbing, put together the throttle cable linkage, bleed brakes and master cyl, finish heater plumbing, and probably a couple other simple jobs. Then i'll be ready to fire the engine and see what's next :) So I think if I can get two solid FULL days i can get this thing ready to fire, maybe... wish me luck!

Jeff...What you doing durring the X-mas week? I might be playing w/ it this Sunday as well. Let me know what your schedule is like. At this point, I'll take any help you'll give, I have really been about doing every single thing myself but, now I want it running just in case it needs to be moved while I'm away, and so i can have something fun to play w/ when I'm home!!! :)

 

Thanks guys.
