a6t8vw Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Welp, shes out of my hands now. Today i trailerd the 280 to the wiring guy's shop. the motor/trans is fully installed. I bought this car 2 1/2 years ago for 900 bux..from a friend... i had no prior knowledge of Z cars but i figured it would get me to work and get decent mileage... I had no idea i would build it into this monster...haha .. did all the body work, complete tear-down/assembly of the suspension, everything. Except spraying the paint and i oped out the wiring also 1 week befor the West coast Z meet in orange 2006 i blew the L28's head-gasket with nitrous.... i was pissed i didnt even go.. did not get my tee shirt that i had paid for either. This year im going. This is my first car that "ive" built. Sure ive had fast cars before but not like this.. Hi, my name is Andrew Reed and im an addict. heres a lousy picture of the car back on the ground after 11 months of being on jackstands. i later realized i had the camera on close up mode.. my bad I'm still planing on 8 point roll cage, rear disc then im basicly done.. well that is until something breaks! ahhaha cant wait to drive it, im going insane! Edit: total $$ so far.. 14k... my "EX" g/f just didnt understand but i understand. 14k for a car that will blow your mind.. priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forces Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Whatmounting kit did you use? From the blurry picture, it looks like the engine really sits down low. Nice work by the way, very clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 total $$ so far.. 14k... my "EX" g/f just didnt understandbut i understand. 14k for a car that will blow your mind.. priceless G/F's are very replaceable. I dated a gal that did not understand my addiction either. She asked when I was going to grow up. Funny, I don't remember much of her after that. My wife whom I met a few years later was not really a car person, but she still took an interest and even helps out from time to time. She has never uttered anything other than "Go for it"? Gems like that are out there so if the bills are paid and she has her toys then no reason you can't have yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
