OlderThanMe Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I want to see how bad your Z was when being driven. I bought my Z the day before I turned 16 so it was my DD until 1.5 years ago. Drove it this way for about 3 weeks...Rambo knife vs. Z dash... Rambo knife:1 , Z dash: 0 Had to have the light...I delivered pizza in the car at night and had to see the ticket for the address I was delivering to...LOL. And the ghetto wiper switches in front of the shifter since the column ones never worked! This is why I re-wired the car after ditching the dash!!! It is amazing what you will drive when trying to rebuild your DD...LOL I was driving the car to the optional night classes (I went to day class) at welding school, yank the dash, work on my aluminum dash some, reinstall nasty dash, and drive home all in 4 hours! Oh, the good times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Somewhere (and by somewhere, i'm pretty sure i mean the attic...) i have pictures of my interior before i tore all the mildewed cream color out...this is the closest thing i've got right this minute to an updated interior shot: though it was mostly to show how the intercooler looks from the driver seat. I haven't seen too many other Z's that have a more rat-rod exterior than mine though: No real story there, I just don't have much patience for showroom stock, and in true rat-rod tradition it was easier for me to modify existing parts from other cars than to fabricate my own. The mirrors come from a 79 Mazda RX-7, the sideskirts are from an early 2000's Acura RSX Type-S, the splash gaurds are from an Acura TL, and the Fascia comes from a Saturn VUE redline. Unfortunately I also have little patience for correct bodywork procedures... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayAreaZT Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Here's my first hybridZ I drove around as a project. Front fender is dented from when my wheel flew of on the freeway from hand tight lugnuts It used to blow white smoke from tranny fluid leaking onto the exhaust too. I was gonna rattle can it flat black but I never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 20 years of working on the same Z and I now thoroughly enjoy my wine and cheeze...actually, beer and chips, but who's counting. My rat-rod days were in a 72 Alfa Romeo shoe box sedan. 'The very old days with no camera, no camera phone, no cell phones, no internet...and all that...so I don't have pictures to prove it.
