CArFAn Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 is that the MSA air dam? I think so, if the msa ones have xeon(?) on the back then it is. Paid 55$ for it at pick n pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJLamberson Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think so, if the msa ones have xeon(?) on the back then it is. Paid 55$ for it at pick n pull. great find! I wish the pick n pull here had any Zs worth looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CArFAn Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I like picture 1101 of the airdam...looks like you hit the fender in with your head ...cars looking good! nice choice of dam That was the only damage to the car. Everything else was good, beside the fact someone took the motor and trans and killed the exhaust and rear suspension in the process. MJLam. There are mostly 280z's that have everything in them. There is a orange one in there right now with a mint center console no discoloration, dings, anything. I seen one 260 and five 240's. They are gone now since i was went. But they were pulling in two z31's as i was leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uefa5 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 hey are those the summit racing seats? if so how do you like them? I was thinking of getting that exact thing, did you go with the summit brackets and hardware and everything? do they fit well? are they comfortable?

CArFAn Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 hey are those the summit racing seats? if so how do you like them? I was thinking of getting that exact thing, did you go with the summit brackets and hardware and everything? do they fit well? are they comfortable? They look similar to the summit ones but there are not. My dad picked these up from somewhere. I had to make my own mounts with square tubing and i got some high grade bolts from osh. I cant say if the are comfortable because i havnt drove in them. They fit okay but a bit high and i had to knock the trans tunnel in a bit.

CArFAn Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Minor set back while i was stripping the door,fender and hood i got for pick n pull something horrible happened. The door is covered about 1/8in of bondo just about all over, some parts more but mostly 1/8in. I see no visible large dents as to why they used so much. I'm debating weather or not i should take the time to remove it all and see whats under or go pull another door. The hood and fender came out like it should have all i have left to do is smooth them down a bit and primer them. Pics will come later today.

CArFAn Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Today i sprayed the hood and headlight buckets, the rest of the day was spent of getting the paint dush off EVERYTHING in my garage. The car is still a bit rough and unfinished only because i ran out of sandpaper and primer. On to the pics "outside" for the fist time in multiple weeks. As requested here are the pics not links. The shift handle is temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucket240z Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Did you have to do any type of fab work to get those seats to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CArFAn Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Did you have to do any type of fab work to get those seats to fit? Just square tubing and a 5lb mini sledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
