dat240zg Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Well, I went and picked up the Z this morning and the paint is finally done! Gotta be honest...man, do I feel jazzed! It was awesome to go finally roll it back in to the garage for reassembly. To think that it started with this a year ago: And here was this morning: Here are a couple of more pics: Today I was able to get the wiring done for the rear of the car and a few other things. Can't wait for tomorrow! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1ghtymaxXx Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Awesome paint. Can't wait to see it at final ride height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thanks much guys. It's sitting pretty high right now. The coilovers are set about as high up as they can go to make it easier for them to tape up and get around the car when it was at the shop. I'll drop it back down here in the next week or so after I get to installing the brake lines and such. Thanks again for the kind words. My goal is to get it finished in time for the Tulsa Route 66 car show in November. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbk240z Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Very clean indeed!!! What ever happend to the "other" Z? Cut up and sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 We ended up having a "memorial service" and then cut just ahead of the strut towers. Here was why: What the pics don't show was the twisting and tweaking of the frame rail on the drivers side. At some point someone had covered the damage with bondo, but it was out by a quarter inch. During the repair: After: Yesterday (Saturday) I was able to re-run the wiring harness, wire up the taillights, antenna and subwoofer. Hope to make more progress today.

texis30O Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Paint the centers of the wheels with the same paint you used on the top of your two tone to tie it all a a little better. But It looks good and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Lookin GOOD!!! It's ironic that you would go silver & black 2 tone. This is a photoshop that I did about 3 years ago. The original color of the car was orange. S130 2 tone paintscheme on an S30. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackhammer Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 dat240zg, I like the color combination...and the quality going into the build appears to be first class. Here are a few pics of mine during the build. It appears we had similar ideas about the colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
