Jesse OBrien Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Oh, did I forget to tell you guys that it runs? Hopefully I'll have video to share this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Is this new project partially my fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 New delivery! Woohoo! Maybe it'll run tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerichowalker Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Haha is that for the ignition? Actually my Z is the first car I haven't had to use a screwdriver to start. Good luck with those floors, sadly that looks all too familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Oh, I've already cut out the floor, getting it welded up again once it's driving. There's cardboard over it right now, so nothing flies up into my face when I fire it up. And no, none of this is for the ignition. The knife just happened to come in on the same shipment as the clutch master and slave cylinder. I'll still have to pick up a hydraulic line and bend it into place, but if all goes reasonably well I could be driving (illegally) tonight! Is this new project partially my fault? Yes. I blame you.

Jesse OBrien Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well, I placed my seats and harnesses in today, but didn't have time to bolt anything up or get pictures (it was really late). I'll see what I can do about getting some taken and sent to me today, it's starting to take on the appearance of a real car, finally.

Jesse OBrien Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 So far is really the key... Started moving some stuff into my new house (which has a garage), but I won't be moving the Z for another week or two (depending upon AAA). Nothing exciting has happened, but I did snap a few new pictures of it in its current location today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 what seats are those and where did you get them (and how well/what effort is required to get them to fit)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 I got them off Craigslist for $60 with the harnesses. I'm not sure I'll actually use the harnesses; they're supposed to be bolted in rather than wrapped around the rear strut bar. I'm pretty sure the seats are just from Summit. I'm not a big fan, since they recline (and don't even do so very well) but they do feel pretty secure and only required minimal modifications to the stock seat rails to get them to fit. I suppose I should do a writeup of exactly how they finally bolted up once they're actually in (right now nothing's bolted in, I still have to replace the floors before I add seats).

Well I like them BECAUSE they're reclining! I like the option of sleeping in my car. They're also the perfect style for what I envisioned my seats being. I just hope they're comfortable.

If I can find an identical set, I'll just put wheels on the bottom and turn it into an office chair. I would like hingeless seats, but these should do just fine for now.
